Since faxes received through the FaxFinder are transformed into email attachments, they can be directed
anywhere email goes. The final recipient can be inside the office or across the ocean.

Receiving Faxes in POTS Mode
In POTS Mode, all faxes are emailed to an attendant using a single fax number.
1. The incoming fax arrives in the attendant’s email inbox as a message with an attachment.
2. The attendant uses email to forward the message to the appropriate recipient. Recipients could be on
the local Ethernet network or outside of it.
3. The recipient opens the email message. The incoming fax message takes the form of a graphic file
attachment. The FaxFinder Server has assigned the file an automatic file name.
4. The incoming fax arrives in the client’s email inbox as a message with an attachment.
The email message is marked as being from the FaxFinder Administrator.
The sender’s “Remote ID” and the client’s name appear in the “Subject” line of the email message.

name.)
