IF-200 from Muratec
1. Introduction
1.1. The Muratec Office Bridge IF-200 IP Fax System
The Muratec Office Bridge IF-200 captures the power of the Internet for fax users by sending fax documents over the Internet and corporate Intranets. The product converts fax documents into an e-mail format and sends them to any e-mail address, for both PC e- mail users and fax machines. The IF-200 allows you to take advantage of the vast reach and cost savings of the Internet for fax and e-mail capability.
The IF-200 is simple to use. It connects in-line between the fax machine and the telephone line and directly to the LAN. A document is placed in the fax machine, the recipient's number is dialed on the fax machine, and the fax machine sends the document. The IF-200 intercepts the fax document, converts it into an e-mail format, and sends the e-mail document over an IP network or the Internet, to the recipient's e-mail address. The IF-200 also checks for e-mail messages you have received and downloads the messages to the fax machine for printing.
The IF-200 is compatible with all ITU Group 3 fax and multi-function devices. It automatically sends a fax over the public switched telephone network if it is unable to send it over an IP network or the Internet.
