What is an Alias?

Your T.38 Internet fax allows real-time communication

between T.38-capable devices.

The devices locate each other using their IP Addresses.

Here is an example IP Address: 192.168.1.1

The IP Address must be programmed into the Address Table

of the Console Software by your Network Administrator.

Your Network Administrator will then assign an alias to the IP

Address. The alias is the number you will use at your T.38

facsimile machine to contact the remote T.38 device. The

alias is usually a shorter number used as a label (alias) for the

longer IP Address.

Example

Here is an example of aliases.

You work at the home office of a bank. You have eight

branch offices that you communicate with. All nine locations

have T.38 Internet facsimile machines. Each of the nine

locations has a unique IP Address. When your Network

Administrator set up the machines, an alias was assigned to

each of the nine IP Addresses.

The alias assigned to the home office was 01.

The branches were assigned aliases 02 through 09.

When you fax to each other using T.38, you use #01 to

connect to the home office, and #02 through #09 for the

branches.
