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.

The Fax Adapter can be easily connected to any of the Beam communication terminals for sending and receiving faxes anywhere on earth. Dropped Calls: In the event a fax call is dropped during the middle of transmission, the Iridium fax service is designed to re-establish the transmission at the point where the connection was lost, versus starting at the beginning of the entire fax or even the beginning of the page where the connection was lost. For example, if a 10 page fax is interrupted in the middle of sending the 5th page, when the call is reconnected, the adapter will begin retransmission in the middle of the 5th page, instead of starting at the beginning of page 5.
