Relayed Transmission
182
This Feature saves you time and long distance phone line costs when sending an Internet Fax directly from
your machine to the end receiving station(s).
A Relay Network is basically composed of an Originating Station, which can be an Internet Fax Machine
(your machine) or a PC, a Relaying Internet Fax Machine (another machine), and End-receiving station(s),
which can be regular G3 Fax machines.
By simply sending a Document(s) from your machine or an email message from a PC, to the Relay
Machine, which is then transmitted by your machine to the end receiving station(s) using regular phone lines
as a normal G3 Fax message. (PC can have TIFF-F or text (.txt) file attachment)
The end receiving station(s) are usually local in relation to the Relay Station, which incurs a local telephone
charge for the Fax Transmission.
After the Relay Station completes its transmission to the end receiving station(s), a Communication Journal
is sent back to the originator from the Relaying Internet Fax confirming whether the Internet Relayed
Transmission was successful. Any Relay activity information is sent by email from the Relaying Internet Fax
to its Manager’s Email Address, which is programmed in the Relaying Internet Fax machine’s User
Parameters. (See page 49)
To use the Internet Relayed Transmission, just follow the set up procedure described on pages 184 to 193
and obtain certain information provided by the Relaying machine operator. A sample network is shown in
Figure 1.
Figure 1 shows a sample network as seen from New York (Initiating Station), London and Singapore are
(Relay Stations) connected to New York, and the (End Receiving Stations) are Stockholm, Rome,
Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
With this simple network using two Relay Stations, you can send a document with one operation to any
combination of stations in the network via the London Relay Station and/or Singapore Relay Station.
