42 Network Administrator’s Guide — Setup Flow for Fax Features
When enabling the Offramp Gateway, this equipment works as an SMTP server to receive
Emails from the Internet.
To enable the STMP transmission in this equipment, designate the hostname (or specific
domain) that relates to this equipment in the DNS server, and designate the MX record to receive
the Emails that are sent to the equipment’s domain in the SMTP server in your local area net-
work. Then the SMTP server should be configured to transmit the received Emails to the equip-
ment in the SMTP transmission.
For example, if the hostname of this equipment is designated as “host1.ifax.com”, the SMTP
server receives an Email whose forwarding address is “<account name>@host1.ifax.com”, and
the SMTP server transmits the received Email to the equipment. Then this equipment will send
the received Email as a facsimile document to the fax number that is specified in the <account
name> part.
Setup Procedure
Step 1: Setting up the DNS server and SMTP server.
To enable the transfer of Emails to this equipment through SMTP, you must designate the
domain name of this equipment and the MX record and configure the SMTP server to route
the received documents.
