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 se-
cure fax using STE, OMNI, Sectera and other SCIP capable cryptos in Async Secure Data Mode. We also elimi-
nated the DIP switches (on the bottom of the old units) used for setting the transmit protocol and conguration.
Now, the user sets the default conguration and protocol using the attached fax's dial pad. The last major change
is the addition of a remote software/rmware upgrade mechanism.
General Description and Benets 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-function 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. Be-
ing 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.
