Tips of Setting up the DNS and Mail Servers for Internet Fax

The Internet Fax transmission enables sending an Internet Fax and receiving an Inter-
net Fax from other Internet Fax devices.
Because the Internet Fax transmission is same as the Email transmission, you are
ready to use this feature if you have already configured the Email system in your net-
work.
In order to configure the Email system, you must have the DNS, SMTP, and POP3 serv-
ers.
In the DNS server, you must additionally create the MX record of the server that the
SMTP server is activated (i.e. "mxhost.ifax.com"), and the host name of the server to
add the host name of the SMTP server (i.e. "mxhost"). This enables to receive all
Emails that are sent to "@ifax.com" to the SMTP server and stored in the mailboxes.
Then this equipment requests to the POP3 server to retrieve new Internet Faxes from
the mailbox.

Tips of Setting up the DNS and Mail Servers for Offramp Gateway

When you enable the Offramp Gateway transmission, this equipment must be config-
ured to receive Emails in the SMTP transmission.
However this equipment does not have full SMTP server functionality so it cannot
retrieve Emails from the Internet by itself. For this equipment to receive Emails in
SMTP transmission from the Internet, the Emails must be retrieved by the another
SMTP server first and then routed to this equipment.
In order to enable the transmission, you must additionally create the MX record of the
server that the SMTP server is activated (i.e. "mxhost.ifax.com"), and the host name of
the server to add the host name of the SMTP server (i.e. "mxhost"). In addition, create
the host name of this equipment (i.e. "mfp00c67861"). Then, you must configure the
SMTP server to route Emails, whose domain name is "mfp00c67861.ifax.com," to this
equipment so that this equipment can receive Emails using the SMTP protocol.
