Relay Broadcast Function

Before you can successfully use the machine as a network fax solution you need to switch the feature 

Relay 

Broadcasting

 ON at the machine. In addition you also need to set a 

Trusted Domain

 at the machine.

The easiest way to achieve this is to logon to the machine using Web Based Management. Open you favorite 
web browser and enter the IP address of the network machine. Enter the password of the print server to 
access the configuration settings. Then browse to Internet Settings and Relay Function. For more 
information, see 

Web Based Management on page 53.

Note

If you do not know the password contact you Network Administrator.

In order for the machine to receive data from the desktop and then send this information (network fax) to other 
fax machines the 

Relay Broadcast Function

 must be switched â€śON”. Also you must tell the networked 

machine which networks can relay faxes through your machine. This is known as setting the 

Trusted 

Domain

. For instance, if a network machine has an E-mail address of fax@brother.com and users of this 

machine also have E-mail addresses with the same domain name then the machine must be told to allow 
these users to send network faxes through the machine. This is known as the 

Relay Function

 and 

Trusted 

Domains

. So we set the trusted domain as brother.com

Note

Trusted Domains provide security for your machine. In that only users from a particular domain can send 
faxes through your network connected machine.
