Fax Internet 5 Chapter

Setting up a Relayed Transmission Network

This section explains how to set up a relayed broadcasting network.

„What is the Hardware Configuration?

A relay network needs the following kinds of equipment:

Internet Fax or computer (Initial Sending Station)

Internet Fax supporting the Relayed Transmission feature (Relay Station)

G3 fax station connected to the telephone line (End Receiving Station)

„What is the Communication Charge?

Email is transmitted from the initial sending station to the relay station via Internet, saving both the time and charges on long-distance calls.

A telephone charge accrues on the Fax transmission from the relay station to the end receiving station.

„How can I confirm the completion of a transmission?

When the relay station completes a transmission to the receiving station, it transmits a Relayed Transmission Report (Communication Journal) to the initial sending station to report the completion of a Fax transmission.

The relay station also emails a Fax Relay log to the administrator’s computer at the relay station.

„How to Program?

Program required network parameters in your machine. (See page 108)

To use the Relayed Transmission feature, program the required function parameters in Function Parameters for Relay Stations (see page 150) and Settings for Initial Sending Station (see page 151).

A sample network is shown on the next page.

Add relay station and end receiving station to Address Book by referring Sample Entries in Address Book (see pages 148 and 149) and Adding End Receiving Stations for Relayed Transmission (see pages 152 and 153). To set up Relayed transmission network properly, consult authorized Panasonic dealer.
