CSI: Called Station Identification. This is your
fax number, programmed in your machine for
identification purposes. During a
communication, it appears on the other party’s
display, and vice versa. By international law,
the CSI must be programmed in your machine
before you connect it to the public phone
network. The CSI consists of your fax number,
and should include the country and area
codes, but not hyphens.
TTI: Transmitting Terminal Identification. This
is the identification printed at the header of
every page you send. It should be identical to
the RTI (see below). By American law, a TTI
must appear on every page sent from, to, or
within the USA.
RTI: Receiving Terminal Identification This is a
20 character identification, such as your name
or company name. The RTI replaces the CSI
during a communication if the other party’s
machine is compatible with this function. (This
is legal).
TCR: Transmission Confirmation Report. A
report generated by your fax machine to attest
to the success or failure of all
communications, including receptions.
Wild cards: A wild card is a partial RTI or CSI.
A caller whose RTI or CSI contains the wild
card will be treated differently (e.g. for
authorized reception, see page 53).
