existing corporate intranets, the transmission is less expensive than G3 fax transmission
using public telephone network.
Note •The communication between IP Fax (SIP) devices are available for our compatible machines in a
corporate intranet. (Able 1407 is not available.) Hereinafter, IP Fax (SIP) device is referred to as our
IP Fax (SIP) compatible machine.
IP Fax (SIP) can be configured with SIP server and VoIP Gateway. The functions of the
devices are as follows:

the public telephone network. A VoIP gateway is required for communicating with a G3 Fax
device.
