OKIFAX 5750/5950112
What is an Alias?
Your T.38 Internet fax allows real-time communication
between T.38-capable devices.
The devices locate each other using their IP Addresses.
Here is an example IP Address: 192.168.1.1
The IP Address must be programmed into the Address Table
of the Console Software by your Network Administrator.
Your Network Administrator will then assign an alias to the IP
Address. The alias is the number you will use at your T.38
facsimile machine to contact the remote T.38 device. The
alias is usually a shorter number used as a label (alias) for the
longer IP Address.
Example
Here is an example of aliases.
You work at the home office of a bank. You have eight
branch offices that you communicate with. All nine locations
have T.38 Internet facsimile machines. Each of the nine
locations has a unique IP Address. When your Network
Administrator set up the machines, an alias was assigned to
each of the nine IP Addresses.
The alias assigned to the home office was 01.
The branches were assigned aliases 02 through 09.
When you fax to each other using T.38, you use #01 to
connect to the home office, and #02 through #09 for the
branches.
