Configuring the IP Fax (SIP) Operating Environment
Setting flow
IP fax (SIP) is a function that enables the real-time sending/receiving via the intranet and Internet. It is possible to send and receive with less delay compared to Internet fax that spools jobs in the mail server. Also, this function provides a lower communication costs than a fax using a telephone line.
IP fax (SIP) uses the SIP server to call a destination. The SIP server centrally manages the association between the identifiers (SIP-URI) and IP addresses of SIP-compatible devices, and intermediates the establishment of a connection between devices.
Tips
- To use the IP fax (SIP) function, an option is required. For details on the required option, refer to "List of Functions with Options Required" in [User's Guide [About This Machine]].
- To use the IP fax (SIP) function, ask your service representative to configure settings. For details, contact your service representative.
