What Networking Features Does This Machine Have?

The machine’s networking features are summarized below.
Transfer Request: This allows you to send a fax message to a number of

destinations via a single Transfer Station (see page 87). Transfer Request can
be combined with Broadcasting to set up more complex networks (see page
90).

Two-step Transfer: This process adds a Relaying Terminal between you and

the Transfer Station. The Relaying Terminal could be a machine in your area
that has access to a long-distance high-speed digital link, which would pass on
your fax message to the Transfer Station, which would then distribute your fax
message over low-speed local lines. See page 91 for details on this feature.

Multi-step Transfer: This allows you to set up a string of Transfer Stations in

different areas. The Transfer Station in each area would distribute your
message to destinations in the same area, and pass on your message to the
next Transfer Station in the chain. See page 93 for more on this feature.

When you look at these procedures later in this section, they may seem rather
complex. However, once you have decided upon a certain operation, and if you
plan to use it frequently, program it as a Keystroke Program. Next time, this will
allow you to start the operation with only one keystroke.

Note
Your sales or service representative will be able to help make all the necessary group and
transfer station number programming in the various broadcasting terminals throughout your
proposed network. Please co-ordinate with your sales representative to obtain correct
programming at the time of installation.
