How it works Each FCT monitors and validates all usage of the machine to which it is connected and stores this transaction data locally in the terminal. Controlled facsimile machines are prevented from sending faxes until the user enters a series of codes tailored to meet the exact needs of the station. Data entry can be performed at the FCT or at the fax machine itself.
Codes can be numeric or alphabetic.
Entries are checked instantaneously for validity - then displayed at the terminal with text conformation. After all data has been entered and validated, the fax is allowed to be sent. Inbound calls are passed through, and incoming fax transactions can be captured in the FCT for client cost recovery processing. A sophisticated error-checking protocol ensured data transmission accuracy. Copyright 2001 Equitrac Corporation.
