How It Works; Mail Server Settings For E-Mail-To-Fax Gateway Service - Oki OF5750 Options Manual

How it Works

1 The client sends a message to the mail server using the
address format FAX=123@fax.abc.com.
A client can be a computer or an Internet Fax.
2 The mail server makes an enquiry to the DNS server about
fax.abc.com
3 The DNS server replies to the mail server with the IP
address of fax.abc.com.
4 The mail server forwards the message to the Internet Fax.
5 The Internet Fax then forwards the message to an F-Code
fax machine with the telephone number of 123.
It is also possible for an e-mail client to communicate
directly with this machine. To do this, specify the IP address
of this Internet Fax instead of the e-mail client's SMTP server
address. Specify a recipient using the above address format
and attach a TIFF file in a format supported by this Internet
Fax, and you can have the TIFF file forwarded by fax on
reception.
Please note that it may not be possible to establish a
connection between this Internet Fax and some types of e-
mail clients.
