Konica T37 Internet Fax Users Manual

							|T.37Internet FAX User’s Guide39
Domain Name Restrictions
You must register the domain names that your machine
will communicate with (receive data from) when
forwarding e-mail-to-fax.
This is intended to prevent unauthorized access of the
e-mail forwarding function.
·up to five (5) domain names may be registered.
·each domain name may be up to 64 characters long.
Your machine will only accept data from a sender when
·the sender’s domain name matches one of the
registered domain names
or
·the sender’s domain name is a sub-domain of one of
the registered domain names.
You can make a broadcast transmission to up to 10
recipients by specifying each telephone number in the
above mail address format.How it Works
1The client sends a message to the mail server using the
address format [email protected].
A client can be a computer or an Internet Fax.
2The mail server makes an enquiry to the DNS server about
fax.abc.com
3The DNS server replies to the mail server with the IP
address of fax.abc.com.
4The mail server forwards the message to the Internet Fax.
5The Internet Fax then forwards the message to an F-Code
fax machine with the telephone number of 123.
It is also possible for an e-mail client to communicate
directly with this machine. To do this, specify the IP address
of this Internet Fax instead of the e-mail client’s SMTP server
address. Specify a recipient using the above address format
and attach a TIFF file in a format supported by this Internet
Fax, and you can have the TIFF file forwarded by fax on
reception.
Please note that it may not be possible to establish a
connection between this Internet Fax and some types of e-
mail clients.

Mail Server Settings for E-mail-to-FAX
Gateway Service
The setting changes explained here can only be made by a
network administrator.
To use gateway service 1 (e-mail-to-KonicaFAX-to-G3 FAX),
the mail server and the DNS server must be configured to
forward e-mail to the your fax machine.
Here are some examples of settings for forwarding mail to the
your fax machine.
The settings given here are only examples.  Servers do not
have to be configured as shown in order to use the gateway
service.
The domain name, host names and IP addresses given in this
text are for example only.  You must set these values
according to your own network setup.
You will need to adjust settings in these categories.
·DNS Server
·Mail ServerDNS Server
First, register your fax machine onto the DNS server.
In this example, the settings for a type of DNS server called
BIND run on UNIX are explained.
You will need to know or set the following items.
·Network Setup
·Install the fax machine as a device on the network
·Add a record to the zone file
·Add a PTR record to the reverse zone file
·Restart the Server
Network Setup
The network in our example has this setup.
Network domain name:
abc.com
Host name of the mail server in this domain:
mail.abc.com
IP address of this mail server:
192.168.1.100
Host name of the DNS server in this domain:
dns.abc.com
IP address of this DNS server:
192.168.1.101

Network Scanner
Your fax machine can be used as a network scanner.
Remember the following when using your fax machine as a
network scanner:
·you can adjust the resolution of the scanned images
·turn off the IFAX Sender ID (User Function 90), or it
will appear on your scanned images
Example
Here is an example of using your fax machine as a network
scanner.
You have a hard copy document that you would like to
have on file as a digital copy.
You can use your fax machine to scan the document and
send the scan version (digital copy) to your e-mail address.
The scan version of the document is a TIFF file.
How it Works
The document is scanned as if it were being sent as an
Internet Fax, but the document is actually sent to an e-mail
address on the network.
The recipient (destination e-mail address) receives the
document on their PC as a TIFF file.Image Resolution
The setting for User Function 89:  Ex.Fine Mode adjusts
the resolution of the scanned image.
The resolution may be set between 300 and 600 dpi.
IFAX Sender ID
User Function 90:  IFAX Sender ID must be set to ON when
you are using your fax machine for faxing using the Internet.
This places the IFAX Sender ID on the top of any documents
you send.
However, when you are using your fax machine as a network
scanner, you do not want this information to appear on your
scanned documents.
!
Set User Function 90: IFAX SENDER ID to OFF while
using your fax machine as a network scanner.
The IFAX Sender ID will not appear at the top of
scanned documents.
Be sure to set IFAX Sender ID to ON when sending
faxes.
