1.OutlineThis specifications describes the addition and modification caused to mount functions using FAX2NET service (that is a facsimile service via internet) in the FX-051.
2.FAX2NET Services2.1Service Types
The FAX2NET service is a facsimile communication service using the FAX2NET-supplied internet. The FAX2NET server distributed in each country transfers facsimile data via the internet. A user facsimile can use internet functions by communicating with the neighboring FAX2NET server.
Of the FAX2NET-supplied functions, the following five functions are mounted in the FX-051
(1)FAX over IP
Route: FAX(A) -> FAX2NET server (P) -> FAX2NET server (Q) -> FAX(B)
A general telephone line is connected between the FAX(A) and server and between the server (Q) and FAX(B). Servers (P) and (Q) are connected via internet.
The FAX(A), that is connected to server (P) via a telephone line, reports informa- tion, e.g., remote-subscriber’s facsimile number and user account, to the server using DTMF tone. The FAX(A) then sends facsimile data using a normal T.30 protocol. Server (P) searches for a server (server (Q)) nearest the received remote-subscriber’s facsimile number (FAX(B)) and sends facsimile data via internet. Server (P) that received facsimile data sends it to the FAX(B) through a telephone line. Communication between server (Q) and FAX(B) is performed by normal facsimile sending.
(2)FAX to E-mail
Route: FAX(A) -> FAX2NET server(P) -> Internet mail server (Q) -> PC(B)
A general telephone line is connected between the FAX(A) and server (P) and between the server (Q) and FAX(B). Servers (P) and (Q) are connected via internet.
The FAX(A), that is connected to server (P) via a telephone line, reports informa- tion, e.g., remote-E-mail address and user account, to the server using DTMF tone. The FAX(A) then sends facsimile data using a normal T.30 protocol. Server
(P)searches for a server (server (Q)) nearest the received remote-E-mail address (PC(B)) and sends facsimile data via internet. Server (P) that received facsimile data sends an E-mail to the remote address as an attached file of the mail. The PC(B) receives the E-mail attached to the facsimile data via mail server (Q).
(3)Virtual E-mail
Route: PC(A) -> FAX2NET server (P) -> FAX(B)
The FAX(B) is allocated to a virtual E-mail address by the FAX2NET server. An E-mail issued from the PC(A) is converted to facsimile data by the FAX2NET server (P). The FAX2NET server (P) then sends the facsimile data to the FAX(B) using the T.30 protocol.
