90si Quick Reference Guide

Your 90si comes from the factory set for the Secure Only mode, whereby the commercial (COTS) fax connects to the 90si’s FAX jack (the other two phone jacks remain empty) and the 90si’s RS-232 Data cable connects to the Secure Data port of your crypto device. In this conﬁguration the COTS fax can only be used for classiﬁed transactions with the crypto in Secure Data Mode.

Connecting the COTS fax, 90si and Crypto

This diagram shows the default (and recommended) factory conﬁguration for the 90si. Shown are the rear panel of the 90si, Secure Telephone, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) fax and the outside telepone line connection. Although there are other 90si conﬁgurations, this one will work right out of the box. See "Choosing a Conﬁguration" for others.

90si Main Unit

1.0 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

What's New

In 2010 we began shipping 90si's with a number of new features including the SCIP Interoperable Async Secure Fax Protocol or Async for short. This protocols allows the 90si to communicate with all other Async capable secure fax using STE, OMNI, Sectera and other SCIP capable cryptos in Async Secure Data Mode. We also eliminated the DIP switches (on the bottom of the old units) used for setting the transmit protocol and conﬁguration. Now, the user sets the default conﬁguration and protocol using the attached fax's dial pad. The last major change is the addition of a remote software/ﬁrmware upgrade mechanism.

General Description and Beneﬁts of the 90si

The 90si Secure Fax Gateway allows any current or future commercial fax device to connect to a STE, OMNI, Sectera or other cryptographic device. That leaves the choice of facsimile features in your hands. You choose the fax that best suits your needs, such as: toner or ink-jet, multi-functin or fax only, portable, high-volume/low-volume, computer-based fax, whatever you like !! The 90si also preserves your choices for the future by allowing you to easily and economically upgrade your fax machine as technology and requirements change or if your old fax simply wears out, as they all will. With all-in-one secure faxes, you must throw away your investment in the secure fax protocols (the 90si like electronics that they build into their faxes) along with the fax machine. Being an external device, you retain your investment in the 90si and replace only the COTS fax machine (at COTS prices) when necessary.

Thank you for your purchase of the 90si Secure Fax Gateway.

1.2 What in the Box

Before you install the Easy-Fax 90si STU-III Gateway, make sure that you have received the following items:

Additional items required for your 90si secure fax system are:

1. a COTS fax machine or a computer with fax capability

2. an operational STE, OMNI, SECTERA, STU-IIB or other cryptographic device.

3. on outside phone line.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Choosing a COTS Fax

By the nature of their design, Secure Telephones require operator intervention to place and receive calls and transition those call into and out of Secure Voice, Secure Data and Clear Voice modes. It is for this reason that we recommend that you choose one of the more basic COTS faxes to connect to your 90si. All of the COTS faxes automated features will not function in the Secure environment.

If possible, choose a COTS fax with a Hook, Monitor or Manual-Dial button. This Hook button takes the fax ma chine off-hook just as if you had lifted the handset of a phone. Whatever it may be called, using this button to send a secure fax will cause the fax machine to enter what is usually called the "manual transmission" mode whereby pages are scanned and sent one at a time. In this way you will know, at a glance from across the room, the staus of the transmission and when the transmission is complete.

Memory Issues:

Additionally, static or permanent memory can be an issue when handling classiﬁed document. Gateway Fax Systems offers COTS faxes that have only dynamic memory, the contents of which is erased when the power is removed. Contact us if you wish to acquire one of these specially modiﬁed COTS faxes. And, as always, the 90si never retains any facsimile image data as it constantly overwrites image memory. Additionally, the memory chips used in the 90si are volatile. You may be doubly certain that no classiﬁed data remains in the 90si by depressing the Reset button, as image memory is also overwritten during the reset process.

2.2 Choose a Location

Pick a spot that is within ﬁve (5) feet of your COTS fax, secure telephone or crypto, telephone line connection(s) and an AC power outlet. We recommend that you place the COTS fax on the left and your Secure Telephone on the right with the 90si in between the two.

2.3 Choose a Conﬁguration

The 90si's primary function is to allow your COTS fax to become a secure fax. The simplest (and recommended) conﬁguration is called the Secure Only. If you choose, however, your 90si based secure fax system can also be used to send and receive unclassiﬁed fax messages; See section 2.3.2 Dual Mode Considerations.

GateWay Fax Systems, inc. Model 90si Secure Fax Gateway User's Guide

2.3.1 Secure Only Conﬁguration (Recommended)

This factory default conﬁguration allows the attached COTS fax to function only as a secure fax. If you wish to process Public or Uncalssiﬁed documents as well; see Section 2.3.2 "Dual-Mode Considerations."

If your 90si is factory fresh, it is already pre-set to operate in this mode. If it has been in another location or you are unsure of the current setting, set the Conﬁguration to (01) Secure Only. See Section 2.4, Setting Your Chosen Conﬁguration for instructions on how to do this.

2.3.2 Dual Mode Considerations

We deﬁne Daul-Mode as any 90si conﬁguration that allows the COTS fax to directly access an outside line, around the Secure Telephone, thus enabling the transmission and reception of unclassiﬁed faxes. The differientation between sending a document using the Secure Phone's Secure Data Mode (a secure fax) and sending that same document to a non-secure fax is procedural. Therefore, if your 90si is conﬁgured for Dual-Mode, an untrained operator could compromise a document. It is for this reason that the 90si is factory set to the Secure Only mode.

If untrained (regarding the 90si) people have access to your secure fax location, use the Secure Only Conﬁgura

tion and have the users go elsewhere for unclassiﬁed faxes. If, on the other hand, a limited number of people have access to the 90si, and they can all be trained on safe 90si operation, then one of the Dual-Mode conﬁgurations may be approprite for the location.

If you wish to use your 90si system for both secure and non-secure (unclassiﬁed) fax documents choose one of the the following dual-mode conﬁgurations.

2.3.3 Conﬁguration Selection Chart

The following chart will assist you in choosing the 90si conﬁguration that best suits your requirements.

2.4 Setting Your Chosen Conﬁguration

If you are using the Secure Only Conﬁguration and your 90si is new from the factory, you need not set the conﬁguration. If on the other hand your 90si is not factory new or you have chosen one of the Dual-Mode conﬁgurations you will need to tell the 90si what conﬁguration you will be using. This is done using DTMF tones from the FAX dial pad while in the Default Settings mode. The conﬁuration options and code numbers are shown below:

90si Default Settings List: Conﬁguration (select one)

->(01)<- Secure Only (factory default) (02) 1-Line Dual-Mode

(03) 2-Line Dual-Mode

Entering the Default Settings mode is done by pressing and holding the Reset button on the side of the 90si for ﬁve (5) to six (6) seconds until both Green and Red lights extingush. Releasing the Reset button at this point will place the 90si into the Default Settings mode as evidenced by the Green light extinguished and the Red light illuminated. Changing the default protocol is then done using the attached fax machine's handset (or Hook button) and dialpad by dialing the two-digit code(s) of the setting(s) you wish to turn on or activate. The Secure Telepnone / Crypto should be idle (not in Secure Data Mode). After dialing the two-digit code(s), hang up the fax to exit the Default Settings mode. The Green light will blink a number of times and then illuminate steadily. The 90si is now ready to operate with your new Default Settings.

3.0 Using your 90si

3.1 Applying Power

The Easy-Fax 90si STU-III Gateway uses an external power supply. Since the 90si has no ON/OFF switch, the device is “on” as soon as power is applied. To conﬁrm that the 90si is properly powered and ready to operate, ensure that the Green "POWER" light is illuminated and that the Red "FAULT" indicator is extinguished.

3.2 Sending a Secure Fax

Use the following, generic, procedure to send a secure fax. You may want to make a version for your secure phone and COTS fax that references the appropriate details.

Step Procedure

1. Place a call on your secure telephone / crypto.

2. Place it in secure data mode and set the handset on the table

3. Load your document in the facsimile

4. Take the fax machine "off-hook", dial a "1" and press the big Start or Sent button

5. The fax will begin sending pages, one at a time, and will indicate when it's done,

6. When the fax is done, you may return the call to Secure or Clear Voice or discon-

(this will use the default transmit protocol)

usually with a beep.

nect.

Off-Hook

Most fax machines have a button that when depressed, returns dial-tone from the telephone system. This button is often labled Hook, Manual Dial, Monitor, On Hook Dial or something to that effect. If your fax only has a handset lift it off-hook, dial a "1" and press the Start button and then hang it back in its' cradle. If your fax does not have a handset or a hook button (many HP faxes don't) simply eliminate this step (i.e. use 1, Start).

Secure/Non-Secure Differentiation

Secure faxes are always initiated from the secure phone / crypto and then the secure phone is placed in secure data mode for the duration of the secure fax tansmission. The 90si will not allow public faxes to be initiated from the secure phone / crypto.

3.3 Receiving a Secure Fax

Important: Your commercial fax device MUST be set to auto-receive as a fax for your 90si system to work properly. Additionally, make sure that your fax is set to auto-answer on the fewest number of rings it will allow. Ideally one or two rings. (See your faxes manual).

Step Procedure

1. Answer the incoming call on your secure telephone

2. Place it in secure data mode (either end may do this)

3. Standby, the fax will be received automatically

4. When the fax is done, you may return the call to Secure or Clear Voice or disconnect

3.4 Sending a Public Fax (Dual-Mode Conﬁgurations Only)

www.gwfs.com, 877-951-9800, info@gwfs.com help line: 877-951-9814 page 16

GateWay Fax Systems, inc. Model 90si Secure Fax Gateway User's Guide

To send a public (unclassiﬁed) fax, simply place the call as you normally would using the fax machine handset, hook button (speakerphone) or one of its' programmed auto-dial buttons.

Note: The 90si will not allow you to send a public facsimile while the secure telephone is in the secure data mode.

3.5 Receiving a Public Fax (Dual-Mode Conﬁgurations Only)

Receiving a public (unclassiﬁed) fax differs depending on whether you are using one or two telephone lines. Please insure that your COTS fax set to auto-answer as a fax on 1 or 2 rings.

With a Two-Line Dual-Mode conﬁguration, public (unclassiﬁed) faxes will be received unattended.

With a

One-Line Dual-Mode conﬁguration the follwing procedure applies:

Step Procedure

1. Answer the incoming call on your secure telephone

2. Once the caller indicates a public fax document, is forthcoming, depress the "as-

3. Standby as the fax is received and printed

3.6 90si Status Lights

The 90si has two rectangular LED's protruding from the front of the unit as shown in this picture. One is green and is labled (on the bottom of the unit) POWER, the other is red and is labled FAULT. They are used together to indicate different status and error conditions as described below.

Power-up:

Note: Before applying power to the 90si, make sure that all cables are securely connected and that your commercial fax device is in Auto-Receive (Fax) mode and answers on 1 or 2 rings.

There are a series of LED indications during the 90si power-up sequence. Before power is supplied to the unit, both LED’s will be extinguished. When power is initially applied, the green “POWER” LED will ﬂash intermittently indicating that a self-test is in progress. Once self-test is successfully completed, the green “POWER” LED will illuminate. The 90si is now in the “ready” state.

Communication Errors

If an error occurs during a reception or transmission of a fax, the red “FAULT” LED will illuminate. This indi cates that a communications error has occurred. The unit will still operate. The red “FAULT” LED will go out after 90 seconds or once a new transmission begins.

System Errors:

Flashing green and red LED’s indicate that the 90si has detected an internal failure during self-test at power up, or during normal operation of the unit. If this occurs, press the white “RESET” button located on the right side of the unit. This will restart the 90si and should return it to the “ready” state (green “POWER” LED on, red “FAULT” LED off). If it does not, depress the “RESET” button a second time. If this is ineffective, unplug the unit from the

wall, wait a moment, and plug it back in.

3.7 Selecting a Transmit Protocol

As always, the 90si automatically determines and switches to the correct protocol as a receiver. So, as usual, you must select the transmit protocol that you wish to use. There are two ways to do this; using the Default Protocol Setting (Send via HOOK, 1, START) or by manually dialing the appropriate transmit protocol's One-Time Code as you are sending the fax (Send via HOOK, "One-Time Code", START). When using the One-Time Codes, insure that your Secure Phone / Crypto's Secure Data mode is set correctly for the mode you choose (Sync or Async & Baud Rate).

The 90si supports four different secure fax protocols plus a few subset of these ﬁrst two; Async, Mil-Std-188-161, Ricoh (AKA: Modiﬁed Group 3 or 3312) and Compat (AKA: Compatible or Valutec) mode. With the Async pro tocol the user must select a baud rate or speed of which the 90si supports four; 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 bps. The Mil-Std protocol has four subsets; Handshake with FEC, Handshake w/o FEC (recommended), Broadcast with FEC and Broadcast w/o FEC. As the Mil-Std, Ricoh and Compat modes are synchronous, baud rate selection is automatic.

The 90si's factory default protocols is Asynchronous 9600bps.

3.7.1 SCIP Async Protocol

The Async protocol has been around since the late 1980's, however it has never been widely used until the production release of the KSV-21 Crypto Card for the STE. The KSV-21 does not support synchronous secure data modes when the STE is connected to a PSTN line. While it does support synchronous when connected to an ISDN line, the overwealmingly large number of STE's connected to PSTN lines will drive most secure fax users to this mode. As a result, the 90si comes with the Async Protocol (with a baud rate of 9600 bps) set as the factory default. The 90si supports Async baud rates of 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 bps (bits per second).

3.7.2 MIL-STD-161 Protocols (Synchronous)

As mentioned earlier, the 90si impliments four ﬂavors of the synchronous Mil-Std protocol:

HANDSHAKE with FEC Off

This is the only Mil-Std protocol we recemmend for use with desktop (non Tactical) cryptographic devices such as the STE, OMNI and SECTERA. The handshaking that it gets its' name from come in the form of "acknowledgements" from the receiving fax machine which occur at the beginning of the transmission and between each page. Forward Error Correction (FEC) is not necessary with these cryto devices because they provide their own, quite effective, error correction.

HANDSHAKE with FEC On

As described above but with FEC turned on. This error correction technique adds about 20% more data to the image data but allows operation on noisy communications links with a Bit Error Rate of up to 10-2.

BROADCAST with FEC Off

The broadcast mode was designed for point-to-multipoint battleﬁeld radio networks and is a poor choice for mod ern secure telephone networks. Requiring no response from the receiving secure fax, the sending secure fax has no way of knowing if the transmission was received.

BROADCAST with FEC On

As described above but with FEC turned on.

GateWay Fax Systems, inc. Model 90si Secure Fax Gateway User's Guide

3.7.3 Ricoh/Compat Protocols (Synchronous)

The Ricoh and Compat protocols have also been around since the late 1980's but unlike the Async protocol, they have been used extensively every since. Being synchronous protocols, baud rate selection is automatic. We recommend using these protocols only as a last resort.

3.8 Setting and Using the Default Transmit Protocol

There are two ways to tell the 90si what protocol you wish it to use when transmitting a secure fax. One way is using the Default Protocol Settings described in this section and the other is using the One-Time Codes described in the next section.

The Default Transmit Protocol is factory set to Async 9600 bps and is employed during a normal 90si transmis

sion by taking the fax off-hook, dialing a "1" on the dialpad and pressing the Start or Send button. The off-hook step may be omitted if you fax does not have a Hook, Manual Dial, Monitor or On Hook Dial button (or its' equivalent). The default setting are indicated on the 90si Default Settings List, an example of which is shown below.

90si Default Settings List: Conﬁguration (select one)

->(01)<- Secure Only (factory default) (02) 1-Line Dual-Mode (03) 2-Line Dual-Mode Mode (select one) (04) Half Duplex

->(05)<- Full Duplex Protocol (select one) (06) Async 2400 Bd (07) Async 4800 Bd

->(16)<- STE Connected

(17) OMNI, Sectera, vIPer, other Connected

The list is broken into four sections: Conﬁguration, Mode and Protocol and Misc. The arrows (-> <-) point to the item that is currently selected. In the above list, the Conﬁguration is set to Secure Only, the Mode is Full Duplex and the default Protocol is Async 9600 Bd (baud or bits per second). In each section, only one item can be selected at a time.

Entering the Default Settings mode is done by pressing and holding the Reset button on the side of the 90si for ﬁve (5) to six (6) seconds until both Green and Red lights extingush. Releasing the Reset button at this point will place the 90si into the Default Settings mode as evidenced by the Green light extinguished and the Red light illuminated. Changing the default protocol is then done using the attached fax machine's handset (or Hook button) and dialpad by dialing the two-digit code(s) of the setting(s) you wish to change. The Secure Telepnone / Crypto should be idle (not in Secure Data Mode). After dialing the two-digit code(s), hang up the fax to exit the Default Settings mode. The Green light will blink a number of times and then illuminate steadily. The 90si is now ready to operate with your new Default Settings.

Find and use this Hook button on your fax or use the handset. If your fax does not have a handset or a hook button you will need to temporarily connect a plain old telephone to the TEL jack on the back of the fax machine to change Default Settings.

3.9 Using a One-Time Transmit Protocol Code

A one-time protocol code allows you use a different protocol (than the default setting) for the current transmission only. The default protocol setting is not effected or changed. You will set-up to transmit a secure fax as normal with one exception; instead of dialing a "1" (to use the default setting), you will substitute one of the follwing one-time codes:

4.0 If There's a problem

4.1 How Will You Know

The 90si Front Panel LED's

If the 90si encounters a problem during fax communication, the red "FAULT" LED on the front panel will illuminate. If this occurs, there is no need to reset the unit. The indicator will extinguish automatically.

Indicators On Your Fax Machine

Additional error indications may be displayed by your fax machine. These will usually be in the form of an audible alarm (a "beep") or visual indicator (a light or alpha-numeric display). Consult your fax machine user's manual for explanations of alarm conditions and how to restore normal operation.

Find Your COTS Fax Manual Here

If you do not have a manual for your COTS fax machine, we maintain links on our web site that will help you ﬁnd an electronic copy: http://www.gwfs.com/Header/TechnicalHelp/FaxManuals.html

4.2 Troubleshooting Tips

There are a number of places from which a problem could orriginate, including the COTS fax settings, the 90si settings and wiring and the settings and wiring of the local cryptographic device. We will address common issues below:

Fax Auto-Answer

Insure that the fax is set to automatically answer, as a fax, on the fewest # of rings possible (3 rings max). The way this is indicated will vary by machine -- some have an "auto answer" button and/or light that should be illuminated; others might say "fax" in the display (not "fax/tel or TAD, etc.) and usually have a button called "answer mode" (or something like that) that when depressed, cycles the machine through "fax", "manual", "tel/fax" and "TAD". If you are unsure of this setting for your machine, call or email us and we will help you ﬁgure it out.

90si Conﬁguration

The 90si comes from the factory set to the Secure Only conﬁguration. This is the simplest and safest conﬁgura tion. Insure that your 90si is wired in the way demanded by the conﬁguration your 90si is set for.

Secure Data Mode

Your STE (or other crypto device) needs to be set for Async 9600 (for most applications). Please insure that this is the case. If it is not set properly for the default or one-time protocol you are using, the secure fax transaction will fail.

Interconnect Cables

Insure that all of the cables that connecte to the COTS fax, 90si and Secure Telepnone are seated properly. It might be a good idea to remove each of them, one at a time, and re-seat the connectors.

Make a Copy

This is an easy test that exercises much of the electronics and all of the mechanicals of the fax machine. If it does not make a copy properly, then the problem is in the fax itself.

Place a Call on the STE or Secure Phone

Do you get a dial-tone and can you call and talk with another STE or Secure Phone in Secure Voice mode? Can you transition the call into the Secure Data mode?

GateWay Fax Systems, inc. Model 90si Secure Fax Gateway User's Guide

Send and Receive a Public Fax

Insure that you can send and receive a public fax. If you are using the Secure Only conﬁguration, temporarily disconnect the fax from the 90si and connect it directly to the outside phone line. When you test receiving a fax, be sure to listen to how may rings occur before the fax answers. You should hear between 0 and 2 rings.

9.0 Glossary

Listed below are deﬁnitions of words and terms used in the 90si User’s and Reference Guides.

Asynchronous

Async for short, Asynchronous refers to the

way in which data is passed between the 90si and the attached Secure Phone. Speciﬁcally, no physical "clock" signal is generated by the Secure Phone. Instead, the timing data is embedded in the data and must be decoded by the 90si and the far end secure fax.

Broadcast

A signaling option in the Mil-Std-161 mode in

which the transmitting device does not look for any acknowledgements during a fax transmission.

Commercial Fax Device

A Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) “stan

dard” Group III fax machine or computerbased fax device.

An option available in the Mil-Std-161 mode

that can decrease errors in fax transmission over noisy communication lines. Note that STU’s provide “clean” communication lines therefore eliminating the need for FEC.

Handshake

A signaling option in the Mil-Std-161 mode

in which the transmitting fax device looks for acknowledgements during a fax transmission.

KSV-21 The KSV-21 Enhanced Crypto Card contains

the cryptographic engine for the STE. The KSV-21 does not support synchronous modes with the STE connected to the PSTN.

KOV-14 The KOV-14 Fortezza Plus Crypto Card is out

of production, replaced by the KSV-21 and will no longer function after 31 DEC 2009. When

installed in a STE, the KOV-14 allowed the STE to communicate with the installed base of STU-III's.

Conﬁguration

For the purposes of this document, Conﬁgura

tion refers to the various ways in which the 90si can be connected together with the fax, secure telephone and outside phone line to provide differing sets of secure and nonsecure fax and voice functions. See also, Secure Only, 1-Line Dual-Mode and 2-Line Dual-Mode.

Data Port (see also Red Data Port) The term Data Port refers to the RS-232 serial

interface on the crypto device to which the 90si's "STE" cable connects. It is also referred to as a Red Data Port.

Dual Mode

A 90si conﬁguration which allows the local fax

machine to communicate with both secure and commercial fax machines.

ECC

The KSV-21 ECC (Enhanced Crypto Card)

used in the STE, contains the SCIP cryptographic engine.

FEC (Forward Error Correction)

LED

An acronym for Light Emitting Diode, this is

the type of indicator lights used on the 90si.

Mil-Std-188-161

The SECDEF-mandated military standard

protocol for digital data transmission between fax devices. Mil-Std-161 is compatible with NATO’s STANAG 5000 protocols.

Off-Hook

The state created on a telephone line when a

telephone handset is picked up.

One-Line Dual-Mode Conﬁguration This conﬁguration allows the attached fax to

function as BOTH a secure fax AND a nonsecure fax. An operator must be present to receive an unclassiﬁed fax.

One-Touch Key

A feature on a fax machine that allows desig

nated buttons to be programmed to go “OffHook” and automatically dial a telephone number. In the case of the 90si, we recommend that you program one of your fax’s one-touch keys to dial a “1” and designate it the “Secure

Secure Fax is any secure fax system employing the 90si Secure Fax Gateway

Primary Non-Secure Fax

For the purposes of this document, a Primary

Non-Secure Fax is a COTS fax connested to a 90si based system that can automoatically answer incoming non-secure fax call, just like all the other unclassiﬁed faxes you are familiar with.

Protocol

Generally, a protocol is a set of standard rules

used to send data over a communications channel. Speciﬁcally, secure faxes employ a number of protocols including Mil-Std-188161 / STANAG 5000, SCIP Async and some older secure fax protocols referred to Modiﬁed Group 3.

90si).

SCCP An acronym for Skinny Call Control Protocol

which speciﬁes how an IP telephone instrument connects to and operates with a Cisco Systems VoIP call router.

SCIP Secure Communications Interoperability Pro-

tocol (SCIP) is a new US, Allied and NATO cryptographic architecture that is employed i new Secure Telephones such as the STE/ECC.

SCIP Asynchronous Protocol

Commonly called the Async protocol, this rela

tively unused secure fax protocol has become the defacto standard due to the switch from KOV-14 crypto cards to the new KSV-21.

SDD (Secure Data Device)

An SDD is a data only version of secure tele

phone.

PSTN

An acronym for Public Switched Telephone

Network, it refers to the commercial telephone systems that carry the vast majority of non-mobile telephone calls worldwide.

Public Fax

A document that does not contain sensitive or

secret information and, therefore, need not be transmitted in a secure manner.

Red Data Port

The term Red Data Port refers to the RS-232

serial interface on the crypto device to which the 90si's "STE" cable connects. It is also referred to simply as Data Port.

Ricoh / Compatibility Protocols

A set of digital protocols for communication

between secure fax devices. These protocols allow the 90si to be backwards compatible with older secure fax machines. Also referred to as Modiﬁed Group 3.

Secondary Fax

Secure Data Mode

A STU-III or STE’s secure data mode encrypts

conﬁdential or classiﬁed information to be transmitted and received over standard telephone lines. It is this mode that secure faxes are transmitted using.

Secure Fax

A secure fax is a document that contains con

ﬁdential or classiﬁed information that must be transmitted in a secure manner. This term is alternately used to describe the equipment used to transmit and receive classiﬁed documents. See Secure Fax Device below.

Secure Fax Device

sion A. US Secure telephone that can connect with a STU-IIB.

Synchronous

Synchronous refers to the way in which data

is passed between the 90si and the attached Secure Telephone. Speciﬁcally, in synchronous communications each data bit is "clocked" between the 90si and the Secure Phone using clock signals generated by the Secure Phone. The clock signal tells the 90si what "data rate" the Secure Phone is using.

Two-Line Dual-Mode Conﬁguration

This 90si conﬁguration allows the attached fax

to function as BOTH a secure fax AND a nonsecure fax. Unclassiﬁed faxes can be received aoutomatically (unattended).
