Internet Communication Features

Internet Fax Transmission

Your machine allows you to transmit documents over the Internet to another Internet Fax or a PC. The document is first scanned and converted into a TIFF-F formatted image file, and then transmitted to the remote location as an attachment file to an email using MIME encoding.
The email system at the receiving end must support MIME. Otherwise, the attachment file will be detached and lost.
When you send an email message to someone, your machine uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to transfer your outgoing mail to your SMTP mail server, which in turn uses SMTP to send your mail to the Internet.
Internet Fax Delivery Notice (MDN)
If the sender (Internet Fax) desires a processing confirmation, it must request a Message Disposition Notification when sending the message itself to a device supporting this notification function.
Several email applications such as Eudora and Outlook Express support and are able to respond to the delivery confirmation notification sent from the Internet Fax. As well as send a request for notification to the Internet Fax by email applications that support MDN (Message Disposition Notification) function.
Getting to Know
For additional details on MDN, consult a suitable reference such as the Help file and the User's guide of each respective email application.

Internet Communication Features

Direct SMTP (Direct IFAX XMT)

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to transfer mail reliably and efficiently. An important feature of SMTP is its capability to transport mail across networks, usually referred to as SMTP mail relay by employing SMTP server.
Direct SMTP allows you to transmit documents to another Internet Fax directly without using an SMTP server. For this feature to work reliably, the IP Address should remain unchanged (ask your Network Administrator to reserve the IP Address). The Domain Name of the machines and other record information must be properly registered in the DNS server.
Further more, in common cases only email and web service from the Internet are permitted into the corporate intranet, and corporate network administrators are extremely unwilling to open the firewall for other, incoming services, since each opened path represents additional, potential security threats.
This makes Direct SMTP attractive because it can operate throughout the organization's Intranet.
Capability exchanges and content negotiations are also available to take advantageous communication between Internet Fax communications.

Inbound Routing

Using the Inbound Routing feature, your machine can route documents received from a G3 fax machine to email address(s) or to Internet Fax machine(s) connected to a LAN as an email, as well as to other G3 fax machine(s) over the telephone line.
When an incoming Internet Fax, email or a regular fax document is received, your machine, checks for the following:
1. First, your machine checks whether a sub-address is included. If it is, it will look for a sub-address match within its auto dialler and will route the documents to the corresponding stations email address(s) and/or fax telephone number(s).
2. If no sub-address is specified, then your machine tries to match the originating fax machine’s Numeric ID (TSI) with the TSI routing information within its auto dialler and will route the documents to the corresponding stations email address(s) and/or fax telephone number(s).

Relayed Transmission

Your machine allows you to transmit an email received from an Internet Fax or PC connected to the LAN to multiple fax machines via a telephone line. You can attach files with the TIFF-F format to this email.
Using the Sub-address specified by the originating fax machine, your machine can then route the received documents to the remote machine via an email, which can then relay these documents to final destinations where the final recipient is a regular G3 fax machine.
Your machine also allows you to convert a data file from various application programs such as spreadsheet into a TIFF-F format file and then transmit this file attached to an email.
To convert applications into a TIFF-F formatted file, however, requires you to first download the software (TIFF Converter and MAPI Mail Linking program) from the web site listed below or install the software from the CD-ROM included with the machine. (Saved under the English\Extra\Tiff Converter folder) The second part requires you to install the software on your PC. (See the web site for details about the software installation and operation.)

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP is a protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses to Internet Fax and client PCs. With DHCP, an Internet Fax can automatically acquire a unique IP address each time it connects to a network making IP address management an easier task for network administrators. When an Internet Fax logs on to the network, the DHCP server selects an IP address from a master list and assigns it to the system. If you wish to enable the following options on your Internet Fax, a static (reserved by a Network Administrator) IP address and configurations must be used instead of the DHCP operation.
SMTP Receiving G3 Gateway Direct SMTP (Direct IFAX XMT)

SMTP Authentication

The Internet's emergence as a worldwide digital infrastructure has dramatically encouraged a market for communications-oriented appliances. However, the no object security technique has gained widespread and dominant use over the Internet due to several reasons.
1. Internet mail is a multi-hop store and forward architecture, and use of channel-based security is generally difficult.
2. No single technique is recommended by the Internet Fax standard.
To improve and robust the system, Authentication through encryption based techniques are provided as a typical solution. The techniques may be associated with the transmission channel, such as by using Simple Authentication and Security layer (SASL). Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) take advantage of Internet mail service by providing an Authentication feature. Your Internet Fax provides the following three Authentication options.
1. SMTP Service Extension for Authentication (SMTP AUTH) -- while sending
2. Lightweight challenge-response mechanism POP (APOP) -- while receiving
3. POP before SMTP -- performs POP procedure prior to every SMTP transaction

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

For convenience, your Internet Fax has an LDAP client feature to enable the search for recipient's email addresses from the LDAP server, which assists the entering of long email addresses. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol for accessing online directory services. An LDAP client connects to an LDAP server and asks a question. The server responds with an answer. Your Internet Fax indicates the search result from the LDAP server on the LCD display. This enables you to easily choose the recipients you wish to send to and saves you time from entering long and intricate email addresses.

Important Information

Your machine uses the same communication protocols as email: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The differences from a standard G3 fax communication using the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) are as follows.
Differences between Internet Fax and Regular Fax
A regular Fax machine goes off-hook, dials, and the phone network completes a circuit over phone lines to the receiving fax. You pay for the circuit. The two faxes negotiate a connection, synchronize and exchange image data. The Internet Fax works like an email, the image data is broken down into packets and transmitted through your Local Area Network (LAN) to the Internet or Intranet instead of using a telephone company’s network, thus saving you long distance costs.
Transmitted Document Confirmation
1. Your machine does not directly connect to the final destination (see Note below), but rather connects to a Mail Server via LAN. Therefore, if a document cannot be correctly transmitted due to an error, the erroneous mail may be returned from the Mail Server to your machine.
2. The erroneous mail may take a long time to return (20 to 30 minutes) depending on the destination location, traffic on the network or LAN system configuration.
3. Depending on the Mail Server, it is also possible that erroneous mail is not returned at all. Therefore, when transmitting important or time sensitive documents, it is recommended that you follow up with a telephone call to confirm reception.
4. Documents cannot be transmitted correctly if the destination Mail Server does not conform to the MIME protocol. Erroneous mail may not be returned depending on the Mail Server.
Note:
1) Fax Parameter 172 (DIRECT IFAX XMT), if set to "Valid," allows you to configure One-Touch/ABBR so
that you can directly send to the destination without medium of SMTP.
2) Your machine supports the Delivery Notice feature (see page 101).
Getting to Know
Your machine Cannot Make a Phone Call via LAN
Your machine can only make a phone call using a regular telephone line (PSTN).
Dual Port Communication
Your machine's dual port capability, allows simultaneous G3 Fax Communication over regular telephone line (PSTN) and LAN Communication.
Transmission Resolution
In view of PC transmission, the factory default setting for the resolution is set to FINE mode. If required, this setting can be changed to Normal.
Internet Mail Reception
1. Your machine can receive text email from a PC and print ANSI characters. It will print a "" symbol if an unrecognized character is received.
2. Received email font and character size are fixed and cannot be changed.
3. Text email will be printed at about 72 lines per page. It is recommended that you use A4/Letter size recording paper.
4. If the received text email includes a file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such as Word, Excel, Power Point, your machine prints an error message instead.
5. If the received email includes attached TIFF-F formatted image files, the text and TIFF-F formatted image file will be printed on separate pages.
