Before you send a document to another fax for relay broadcasting,
contact the other party and confirm the following points about their fax:
❏The relay unit must support ITU-T subaddress/password transac-
tions.
❏If you want a relay transmission report sent back to your fax from
the relay unit, instruct the relay unit to turn this feature on when
they set up the relay function on their fax.
❏Make sure the relay unit has registered the telephone numbers of all
destinations for the speed dialing buttons of the relay unit.
❏Make sure you have the correct subaddress for the other party’s fax.
❏Confirm that the subaddress you have been given has been used to
set up the other party’s fax as a relay station. Your fax cannot confirm
whether or not the other party’s fax has been set up properly as a
relay unit.
❏If an ITU-T password is set on the other party’s fax you must send
the document with a password. Otherwise, the other fax will not
receive your document.
After the relay fax is set up to participate in a relay network, it should
receive and relay documents automatically. By following the initial setup
procedures in the previous section, the relay fax unit can be set to
confirm the identity of the originator before sending and to send a relay
transmission report to the originator after your fax unit requests the
other unit to relay a document.
When your fax unit is the originator of a relay transmission with this
method, it does not check to ensure that the fax to receive and relay the
transmission is set up properly for relay transmission. Even when the fax
is not set up to relay your documents, your fax unit reports such a
transmission as a successful relay transmission. Make sure the relay unit
is set up correctly to relay documents that it receives from your fax unit.
