Setting security transmission
Your fax’s
security transmission
feature provides extra assurance that your documents go
where you’re sending them. When this feature is activated and your machine sends a fax, the
machine compares the last four digits of the dialed number to the other unit’s Subscriber
ID
(the phone number at the top of that unit’s transmissions; see page 1.18). If these digits
match, your call goes through. If they don’t, your machine disconnects the call and prints an
error message telling you to check the condition of the remote unit.
Before you activate this feature, please consider:
Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber
ID
s.
Indeed,
some machines don’t even
have
a Subscriber
ID
. So, with security transmission activated,
your machine would disconnect its calls to such machines.
Access codes can cause confusion.
If an autodialer entry ends with a long-distance or
other access code, activating this feature prevents calls to that fax. (After all, the other
fax’s users won’t put
your
codes at the end of
their
Subscriber
ID
s.)
Note:
In the following instructions, your fax’s display abbreviates
Transmission
as
Tx

Setting for use of a closed network
For maximum communications security, use a
closed network
. This limits your machine to
faxing to and from only other Muratec fax machines which can “present” the proper
passcode.
Important:
The passcode you use for closed network operation (and
limiting polling access; see page 2.33) is
not
the same as the
protection
passcode.
Once set this way, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from
other machines.
Setting your fax machine’s closed network passcode
1.
Decide upon, and then
write down
, the four-digit closed network passcode (
0000-
9999
) you want to use and
put it in a safe place
.

network passcode.
Set Passcode
Passcode :5627
5.
Press
ENTER
to save the setting.
Note:
To turn off the closed network passcode and return to normal fax reception, change
the code to
0000
by repeating steps 1–5 and entering
0000
in step 4.
