10 Using IP Fax (SIP)
IP Fax (SIP) Overview
IP Fax (SIP) is a fax feature that sends and receives document data via the IP network
of a corporation (the intranet). The IP Fax (SIP) complies with ITU-T Resolution T.38.
Because the IP Fax (SIP) uses the existing IP network for communications, you can
reduce the telecommunications costs compared to a conventional G3 fax machine that
uses the public telephone line.
