Fax to Ethernet Connection
Can someone ‘hack’ into the network via the PSTN
connection to the machine?
PSTN line security
The fax modem control software incorporated in Panasonic devices is used exclusively for fax
transmission/reception and does not incorporate the communication protocols used by a data
modem. This means that is not possible to connect to the Panasonic device via the PSTN line
and make a connection to the network. If an attempt is made to connect to the Panasonic
device from a data modem via the PSTN line, the device will immediately terminate the
connection to interrupt the communication.
