■ Relay Network
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 53)
To use the Internet Relayed Transmission, just follow the set up procedure described on pages 119 to 127 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 (Relay
Stations) are 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.
