Operational overview
FAX Adapter - FX2600
What is it?
The fax adapter is located next to a standard Group 3 fax machine and connects to it through an RJ-11 phone cord and, in turn, connects to the Iridium phone through a standard serial port. During transmission the fax machine sends the fax to the adapter which buffers it before sending it over the Iridium network to the Iridium U.S. gateway. From there the fax is sent to the recipient. For mobile-terminating faxes the call flow is reversed, with the server buffering the fax before it is sent over the Iridium network to the fax adapter.
Why do you need it?
The adapter is designed for worldwide service in the same rugged and remote conditions in which Iridium users typically find themselves and supports multiple languages including: Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. It supports buffering faxes up to 10 pages and operates cost-effectively at high resolution to ensure that character-based scripts are accurately transmitted.
