Relay Broadcasting
Relay broadcasting is where one fax machine, which is the relay
initiating station, sends a document to another fax machine. The
receiving fax machine, which is the relay key station, then re-
sends (broadcasts) the document to a number of other locations.
Relay Initiating Station
Your fax machine can act as the relay initiating station which
starts the relay broadcast by sending the original documents.
Before programming your fax machine to initiate a relay
broadcast, you need to obtain the following information from
the operator of the fax machine you intend to use as a relay key
station:
Relay Password: This is the 4-digit relay key word which is
programmed into the relay key station.
Relay List Numbers: These 2-digit numbers are the code
numbers of locations or groups of locations programmed into
the relay key station.
Relay Key Station
The relay key station is the fax machine which receives the
original fax message and then automatically relays or broadcasts
the message to other fax machines. For this feature to be
available, the relay key station must be an OKIFAX OF-27,
OKIFAX OF-38, or OKIFAX 2600 fax machine.
Relay Broadcast Report
After a relay broadcast is completed, it is possible for the relay
key station to send a message back to your fax machine
confirming the success of the relay broadcast. For this function
to work, the telephone number of your fax machine must be
programmed into the AUTO DIAL list of your fax machine with
the AUTO DIAL code number 70.
