transmission connections via the Internet.
Global vs. Private IP Addresses
There are two types of IP Addresses.
· Global
· Private
A global IP Address can be contacted by anyone with access
to the Internet.
A Private IP Address is usually part of a corporate Intranet.
Private IP Addresses are usually “behind” a firewall (security
mechanism).
Private IP Addresses are not easily contacted via the Internet.
This document covers the installation and use of private IP
Addresses with a T.38 facsimile machine. For information on
working with global IP Addresses, contact your Authorized
Service Dealer.
Programming One-Touch Keys
When you program a One-Touch key with the alias for an IP
Address, program the alternate (back-up) number with a
standard PSTN (regular phone fax) number (if applicable).
If the T.38 connection does not work, your fax will be sent
using the “regular” fax method, PSTN.
