Combining Transfer Request with Broadcasting

If you wish to complex set up fax message distribution networks, you can make
a Transfer Request using more than one Transfer Station. When you do this, you
can send the same message to up to 30 Transfer Stations, and each Transfer Sta-
tion can pass the message on to 30 End Receivers.

Assume that your machine is in San Francisco and you wish to send the same
message to various locations in the U.S.A. Of course, doing a simple broadcast,
sending to each terminal directly from your machine, would get the job done,
but you would not be taking advantage of the cost-cutting features of the ma-
chine.
However, If you incorporate Transfer Request, as shown below, your machine
would only make 4 calls, instead of the 10 that would be necessary if Transfer
Request was not used. This saves costs.
• Your machine can play any part in a Transfer Request network of this type,
provided that you have programmed all the required features as explained
earlier in this station.
• The ID codes of the requester (San Francisco) and the Transfer Stations
(NewYork and Houston) must be the same. The requester must have its own
fax number programmed.
• The model used by the requester (San Francisco) must be able to make Trans-
fer Requests through more than one Transfer Station.
• Report indicating success of failure will be returned to San Francisco from ter-
minals fin Houston and NewYork.
