Setting up is achieved using the Telnet protocol and a telnet application is available for any

A fax is received, a connection with the mail server is established, the fax is decoded and sent
to the mail server as a TIFF file for each page embedded in the email.
If you are private individual use your email account and password as you use for your existing
mail client on your computer, this is all you need.
If you are a corporate user we recommend to set up a dedicated email account for the fax
receiver i.e. [email protected] and then copy the people to be informed of incoming faxes
from this account. This allows you to keep a copy of every received fax in this account for
recording purposes. It is up to you if you want to give each fax receiver its own mail account
or if you want to use the Location Name to distinguish which device actually received the fax.
Since the device only relies on TCP/IP and SMTP it will work in any common network
environment.
