What is Relay Broadcasting?
In a relay broadcast, the originator fax unit sends a document over a long
distance to another fax called the relay unit. After the relay unit receives
your document, it automatically sends the document to several other fax
units in the local area. In this way you can send a document to several
fax units in the same locality with only one long distance transmission.
Originator
Relay Unit
In a relay network your fax unit can function as both an originator and a
relay unit. When your fax unit is the originator, it sends a document to a
relay unit from which the document is relayed to several destination in
the same locality. When your fax unit is the relay unit it receives a docu-
ment from another party and relays it to one or several other faxes in
your own locality.
