TRANSFER BROADCASTING

3. TRANSFER BROADCASTING
This machine uses a new algorithm to identify the requester's fax number to
send back the transfer result report. Previously, the transfer result report did
not sometimes reach the requester with the old algorithm.
In a transfer broadcasting operation, the transfer requester informs its own
fax number to the transfer station. The transfer station uses that number to
identify the requester's fax number, which the transfer station must dial to
send the transfer result report back to the requester.
Transmission of the transfer result report and selection of the number to dial
depends on the following three settings.
Setting
Conditions required for transfer result report
transmission
Action when there is no fax number in the
programmed Quick/Speed dials which
matches the requester's own fax number
Number of digits compared to find the
requester's fax number from the
programmed Quick/Speed dials.
The requester's fax number format is normally as follows.
[ International access code ] [ Country code ] [ Area code ] - [ Local tel. no.]
A pause (''-'') must be programmed between area code and local tel. no.
Before the machine transfers the message, the machine compares the last
few digits of the requester's own fax number with all the programmed
Quick/Speed Dials as shown in the following diagram. Starting from Quick
Dial 01 to the end of the Speed Dial codes. (The default setting for the
number of digits compared is 5; see the above table.)
If the machine finds a number in which the compared digits match those of
the requester's own fax number, the machine chooses the number as the
destination for sending the report back. However, depending on the number
of digits compared, the machine may choose the wrong destination, as
shown in the example diagram on the next page.
Note that the machine does not compare the following:
Pause (''-'')
•
ISDN sub-address ( ''/aaaa'', ''aaaa'' is a sub-address number)
•
With a G4 transfer request, the G4 and G3 own fax numbers are informed
from the requester, then the machine compares the G4 number first, then the
G3 number second.
