Appendix B - Mail Server Settings

To use the gateway service of e-mail to Internet Fax to G3/G4 fax machine, the mail server and the DNS server must be configured to for- ward e-mail to the Internet Fax. This document gives some examples of settings for forwarding mail to the Internet Fax.

The settings given here are only examples. Servers do not necessarily have to be configured as shown in order to use the gateway service.

The domain name, host names and IP addresses given in this text are for example only. These values must be set in accordance with the network setup being used.

The setting changes explained here can be made only by a network admin- istrator.

DNS server

Firstly, register the Internet Fax onto the DNS server. In this example, the settings for a type of DNS server called BIND run on UNIX are explained.

Assume that there is an existing network of the following setup:

1.Network domain name:abc.com

2.Host name of the mail server in this domain:mail.abc.com

3.IP address of this mail server:192.168.001.100

4.Host name of the DNS server in this domain:dns.abc.com

5.IP address of this DNS server:192.168.001.101

6.IP address of the client PC:192.168.001.050

7.Host name of the client PC:user.abc.com

Now, install the Internet Fax on this network.

1.Host name of the Internet Fax: fax.abc.com

2.IP address of the Internet Fax:192.168.001.105

Add a record of the Internet Fax on the zone file of the DNS server (dns.abc.com).
