4.6 Polling
The Polling feature allows you to call another Pitney Bowes facsimile machine
and receive a document, or allows another machine to call and receive
documents from your machine.
You may want to establish an extra level of security if you have sensitive
documents that will be polled from your Model 9930. The Model 9930 lets
you establish a four digit polling Passcode through the SET-UP SYSTEM
Function. (Refer to Section 5.7.1, Step #17 for procedures to enter this four-
digit code).
If you enter a polling Passcode, only Pitney Bowes machines with a
matching Passcode will be able to poll your machine.
Similarly, if you will be polling other Pitney Bowes facsimile machines, you
must make sure that your Passcode matches the others. If the polled
machines have Passcodes, this is the only way you can successfully poll
and receive documents from them.
NOTES:
1. If none of the Pitney Bowes fax units you communicate with have polling
Passcodes and you do not wish to establish one on your unit, non-secure polling
can take place. (The polling Passcode for none-secure polling is "0000.")
2. If your unit has been configured with PBX Access Codes ON, the Model 9930
will ask you to enter a PBX Access Code for all polling transactions. The display
will read "ENTER PBX CODE" after entering either a phone number from the
Numeric Keypad, a Speed Dial number, or a One Touch Key. You can either enter
a PBX Access Code or press NO if your PBX does not require a code to dial this
destination. Before proceeding, refer to Section 6.1 for more information if PBX
Access Codes is ON.
3. There is no universal polling standard. Attempts to poll non-Pitney Bowes
machines may not work.
There are several polling methods available on the Model 9930.
• simple polling - another fax can poll your Model 9930 and receive documents
from your unit; or you can poll another fax unit and receive documents from that
remote unit.
• bulletin board - this describes the Model 9930 feature which allows you to place
a document in memory to be polled by more than one machine a specified
number of times before being deleted. The Model 9930 allows for infinite
polling.
