Before beginning the steps described in this section, make sure you’ve carefully reviewed the Required Setup Procedures.

FaxPress Premier Requirements

The FaxPress Premier requires:

that each fax channel be connected to a dedicated phone line. The FaxPress Premier may have 4, 8, 12, or 16 fax channels.
a PBX system or integrated access device such as the Exacom DID Interface Module to interface to a DID trunk if a PBX system will not be used.

Connecting the FaxPress Premier to the Network

To connect the FaxPress Premier server to the network, follow these steps:

1. Connect the network cable to the FaxPress Premier server’s Ethernet port.
2. Connect the fax lines to the FaxPress Premier’s fax modem ports. (See Attaching the FaxPress Premier to your Fax Lines.)
3. Plug the power cable into the FaxPress Premier server.
4. Plug the power cable into a power source.
5. Power on the FaxPress Premier. (See Powering on the FaxPress Premier Server.)
6. By default, the FaxPress Premier is DHCP-enabled. Powered on in a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) environment, the Premier will automatically be assigned an IP address from your network’s DHCP server, but will need to be manually joined to the network domain. The FaxPress Premier’s IP address will be displayed on the FaxPress Premier’s front panel LCD window.

Attaching the FaxPress Premier to your Fax Lines

Each Premier fax modem board provides four fax line interfaces. Every two lines share one RJ-14 connector on the fax modem board. Each RJ-14 uses one of the provided external split cables with a RJ-11 plug at each of the two split ends to connect to two phone lines.

If the FaxPress Premier is connected behind a PBX and automatic inbound fax routing will be implemented, you’ll need to know the input string of DTMF digits from the PBX to the FaxPress Premier fax line. A mask will need to be configured for FaxPress Premier to recognize the input string. See Automatic Routing and PBX Integration for information.
