Mailbox Communication 85
Mailbox Communication
This function is used to communicate between Fax machines compatible with a mailbox function
(ITU-T compatible). The owners of these Fax machines can input or retrieve the data of originals
in the mailbox. There are 3 types of mailbox; confidential mailbox, bulletin board mailbox and
multi-address relay mailbox. To perform mailbox communication, the mailboxes must be set in
advance. Total 300 mailboxes can be set for the 3 types listed below, and an individual pass-
word for each box can be set for security protection.
This equipment also supports the Inbound FAX routing by TSI function that designates a
sender’s fax number for a mailbox number. “Forward Mailbox” setting on TopAccess makes this
function available, and the received document is forwarded to the specified destination (file/
Email/e-Filing) according to the sender’s fax number. If a mailbox has been created as “Confi-
dential”, “Bulletin Board” or “Relay”, the received document is not forwarded even when the
mailbox number matches the sender’s fax number. For details, see the TopAccess Guide.
y Confidential mailbox:
Once the data of an original is retrieved from this box, this data will be deleted. If a new data
is input in this box under the same box number where another data exists, the new data will
be added to the existing data.
y Bulletin board mailbox:
Even if the data of an original is retrieved from this box, this data will not be deleted. If a new
data is input in this box under the same box number where another data exists, the new data
will overwrite the existing data.
y Multi-address relay mailbox:
A Fax machine with mailbox function transmits a Fax specifying a certain mailbox as a relay
mailbox, and then the relay station forwards the Fax to the destination previously registered
in the relay mailbox. In this case, the Fax machine of the original sender is called a relay
originator, the Fax machine which forwards the Fax is called a relay station and the Fax
machine which receives the Fax at the last stage is called a relay destination. A relay station
can send a report (relay destination transmission report) to a specified Fax machine involved
in the multi-address relay transmission after completing the transmission. A relay station can
also print out the Fax from a relay originator always or only when the relay transmission has
failed.
