SETUP FLOW FOR FAX FEATURES 79
Setup Flow for Offramp Gateway
This equipment can be used as a Hub Station to forward E-mails — from your client computer or
Internet Fax device — to any facsimile on the public switched telephone network.
For example, the document can be sent to this equipment from out of the country through the
Internet, then the document can be sent from this equipment to the designated fax number
through the local public telephone line.
The Offramp Gateway feature is available only when the optional Fax unit is installed.
When enabling the Offramp Gateway, this equipment works as an SMTP server to receive E-
mails from the Internet. To enable the SMTP transmission in this equipment, the hostname (or
specific domain) that relates to this equipment must be designated using the DNS server. Then
designate the MX record and configure the SMTP server to route the E-mails received. If the
hostname of this equipment is designated as “host1.ifax.com”, it is set to transfer the E-mails to
this machine when an E-mail to “<account name>@host1.ifax.com” is delivered.
