Fax Security

The CSD 3700 enables highly secure and automatic transmission of fax messages. Once received the messages can be stored securely in optional non-volatile memory until the authorized recipient enters their PIN code. Compact and easy to use, the CSD 3700 operates with any Group 3 fax machine.


Key Management

Under public key exchange, a new random key is produced with each fax transmission. This session key is unique to the two communicating parties. No other unit can generate this key.

The CSD 3700 supports both 'Open' and 'Closed' fax networks. Open networks allow any two people with the CSD 3700 system to send secure faxes. No previous keying relationship is required. Open networks are ideal for industrial use, where an ever changing number of companies need to communicate with each other.

Closed networks support government and other high security applications, where only specified people are allowed to send and receive sensitive information. The CSD 3700 adds a network (private) key to the public key exchange to form a closed network. Only machines with the same network key can communicate, and each unit can store up to 20 network keys.


Touch-Screen Configuration

The CSD 3700 is easily configured to meet each organization's preferences via a touch-screen display. A password is required for administrator entry and all configuration settings are protected by this password.

A wide variety of send and receive configuration options are available.

Send Modes

Secure Send. Send in secure mode only.

Secure Send/By-Pass Clear. A user can bypass the secure setting and send a clear fax.

Auto Secure Send/Clear. Automatically sends securely to a receiving CSD 3700. Otherwise it sends in the clear.

Receive Modes

Secure Receive. Receive in secure mode only.

Auto Secure Receive/Clear. Automatically receives in secure mode if communicating with another CSD 3700. Otherwise it receives in the clear.

Regardless of the setting, the CSD 3700 prints a status icon, indicating Clear or Secure, on all received fax messages.


Ease of Use/Installation

Sending a secure fax with the CSD 3700 is as easy as sending an unprotected one. In fact, the CSD 3700 can send faxes without being touched. It operates automatically and in realtime, avoiding the need for operator training and intervention.

The CSD 3700 is also compatible with all Group 3 fax machines. It simply attaches between the fax machine and the wall telephone jack. Once the power supply is connected and the administrator sets basic configuration options, secure faxing is possible.


CSD 3710

The CSD 3710 has all the security, power, and automation of the CSD 3700, but with another level of protection - a Secure Electronic Mailbox. The electronic mailbox provides internal security by eliminating the danger of unattended, confidential fax messages in the fax output tray.

The sender or receiver of an encrypted fax message can direct the fax to be stored in encrypted form in the receiving unit's mailbox. Stored messages are released (deciphered and printed) only after the entry of a valid Personal Identification Number (PIN).

The CSD 3710 supports up to 50 mailboxes and 120 pages of text. A high-capacity memory upgrade is also available. Mailbox memory is protected and retained in the event of power outages.
