Chapter 5 Internet Fax
Setting up a Relayed Transmission Network
This section explains how to set up a relayed broadcasting network.
What is the Hardware Configuration?
A relay network needs the following kinds of equipment:
• Internet Fax or computer (Initial Sending Station)
• Internet Fax supporting the relayed transmission feature (Relay Station)
• G3 fax station connected to the telephone line (End Receiving Station)
What is the Communication Charge?
• Email is transmitted from the initial sending station to the relay station via Internet, saving both the
time and charges on long-distance calls.
• A telephone charge accrues on the fax transmission from the relay station to the end receiving
station.
How can I confirm the completion of a transmission?
• When the relay station completes a transmission to the receiving station, it transmits a Relayed
Transmission Report (Communication Journal) to the initial sending station to report the
completion of a fax transmission.
• The relay station also Emails a Fax Relay Log to the administrator’s computer at the relay station.
How to Program?
• Program required network parameters in your machine. (See page 104)
• To use the relayed transmission feature, program the required function parameters in Function
Parameters for Relay Stations (see page 146), and Settings for Initial Sending Station (see
page 147).
A sample network is shown on the next page.
• Add Relay Station and End Receiving Station to Address Book by referring Sample Entries in
Address Book (see page 144, and 145) and Adding End Receiving Stations for Relayed
Transmission (see page 148, and 149). To set up relayed transmission network properly, consult
authorized Panasonic dealer.
