Introduction
The Ringdale ModuLAN ® FaxReceiver 200 is designed to receive a fax and convert it
into an email to allow distribution that is more convenient and unwanted faxes can
be electronically deleted. The Ringdale Fax-Receiver receives the fax and puts it into
a mail-server mailbox. From there, you or an administrator can read and re-
distribute the fax to the appropriate email recipient on the network or print it if
necessary. This reduces paper waste, speeds up the communication and distribution
of information, allows automatic backup of received faxes and eliminates the need to
maintain a fax machine solely for the purpose of receiving faxes.
Easy Configuration
The setup is done using Telnet, which allows configuration in any network
environment like Windows, Unix or Apple. Any Workstation or PC with Telnet
capabilities and access to the network can be used to configure the unit.

System Architecture
