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 109)
• 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

A sample network is shown on the next page.
• Add relay station and end receiving station to Address Book by referring
