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 transac-
tions 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 Configura-
tion" for others.
Transmitting a Secure Fax

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 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-vol-
ume, 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.
1.2 What in the Box

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.

www.gwfs.com, 877-951-9800, [email protected] help line: 877-951-9814 page 7
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 Cho-
sen 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 differienta-
tion 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 un-
trained 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.

2.4 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 config-
uration. 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 il-
luminated. 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 Telep-
none / 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.
