Relay broadcasting and relay broadcast initiation

Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote Muratec “hub” fax machine’s memory to reduce your total communication costs.

A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, so the “hub” can relay it to other machines which you don’t actually call. The “hub” performs a relay broadcast, and the machine which sends the original document to the “hub” has performed a relay broadcast initiation. Your fax machine can perform either operation; in other words, your machine can either send to a “hub” unit or be a “hub” unit.

How it works

Let’s say you’re in Los Angeles and need to fax the same document to four locations in the Chicago area. You could send four normal fax transmissions, but that would be four long-distance calls. However, with relay broadcast initiation, you send the document once to your Chicago office’s “hub” fax, which then sends it on to each of the four locations.

Beyond the basics

Setting it up, or initiating the initiation

For you to perform relay broadcast initiation, three things must be true:

• The remote fax machine must be a Muratec fax machine with “hub” capability.

Note: If you’re not sure whether the unit to which you want to transmit is a true “hub” unit, please consult your authorized Muratec dealer or call the Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

The call group(s) must exist on the remote fax machine.

You must know each call group’s two-digit identifier number. To set up a relay broadcast initiation:

1 Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.

2 Press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS three times and then press ENTER. The LCD

will show:

Relay Tx

Group No. _

3 Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit identifier of each applicable call group in the remote “hub” fax machine you’ll be calling. You may specify up to 10 groups for each relay broadcast initiation. Do not press START.

To add each group after the first one, press GROUP DIAL to add a comma. Below, we’ve entered 2, GROUP DIAL, 4.

Now, let’s be a little more specific about what happens when you perform relay broadcast initiation:

You use your fax machine to send a document to at least one call group in a remote “hub” machine’s autodialer. This can occur either immediately or as a delayed command (see pages 2.21–2.23).

The remote “hub” unit receives your document and stores it in memory.

The remote machine retransmits — relays — the document to each fax number in each call group you specified. This is the relay broadcast you initiated.

5 Enter the fax number for the remote “hub” unit. You may either press a one- touch key, enter a speed-dial number or just use the numeric keypad as usual. Do not press START.

6 What you do now depends upon when you wish to begin initiating the relay broadcast.

If you want it to begin now, skip to step 8.

If you want to delay it, press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, ENTER.

Note: For more information on delayed transmission, see pages 2.21–2.23.
