This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over the Internet, and then relay it to other fax machines through conventional telephone lines.
If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust at the machine, in other words, the portion of the name after the “@” sign.
A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if the other party’s address is bob@brother.com, then we identify the domain as brother.com. If the E-mail address is jack@brother.co.uk, then we identify the domain as brother.co.uk.
Use care in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a trusted domain will be able to send a relay broadcast. You can register up to 10 domain names.
Relay broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a maximum of 48 fax machines through conventional telephone lines.
Relay broadcast from a machine
In this example, your machine has an E-mail address of FAX@brother.com, you wish to send a document from this machine to another machine in England with an E-mail address of UKFAX@brother.co.uk, this machine will then forward the document to a standard fax machine using a conventional telephone line. If your E-mail address is FAX@brother.com, you must configure a trusted domain name of brother.com on the machine in England that will broadcast the document to the conventional fax machine. If you do not enter the domain name information, then the machine in the middle (the machine that will broadcast the document) will not trust any internet jobs that it receives from the machine in the @brother.com domain.
After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your machine [e.g. FAX@brother.com] by entering the E-mail address of the machine [e.g. UKFAX@brother.co.uk] that will forward the document followed by the phone number of the fax that will receive the document. The following is an example of how to enter the E-mail address and phone number.
Sending to multiple phone numbers:
If you want to have the document relayed to more than one standard fax machine the address can be entered using the following method:
| 1 | Enter the phone number of the first Fax machine UKFAX@brother.co.uk(fax#123). |
| 2 | Press OK. |
| 3 | Enter the phone number of the second Fax machine UKFAX@brother.co.uk(fax#456). |
| 4 | Press Start. |
Relay broadcast from a computer
You can also send E-mail from your computer and have it relayed to a conventional fax machine. The method of entering the phone number of the conventional fax machine that will receive the relayed E-mail will vary depending on the mail application you are using. The following are some examples of different mail applications:
Some E-mail applications do not support sending to multiple phone numbers. If your E-mail application cannot support multiple phone numbers you will only be able to relay to one fax machine at a time.
Enter the address of the relay machine and phone number of the fax in the “TO” box using the same method used when sending from a machine.
