The SETU Fax Dialer (SFD) is an add-on peripheral to a Fax machine, which allows the Fax machine to send/Receive/Forward Faxes through the Internet either to an Email address or to a Fax machine.

The above results in huge savings in communication costs to any one sending either long distance or International Faxes. Though few Fax machines are already available with this function, the SFD enables this new technology function even in older, conventional Fax machines at a fraction of the cost of the New Internet Enabled Fax machines.

The SFD is connected in between the Telephone line and the Fax machine and does not interfere with the sending / receiving of normal Faxes.

When a user wishes to send a Fax through the Internet, the procedure again is as normal, but the number dialed starts with a special character such as '*'. The dialed number now may either be a speed dial number which has a corresponding email address stored in the SFD or a normal destination Fax number. Now, the SFD receives the Fax from the Fax machine and then starts dialing the Internet. Once connected it sends the Fax received as an email with a file attachment. Faxing to a distant Fax machine requires the services of a Fax Service provider who will deliver this file attachment to the destination Fax machine like a normal Fax. If the Fax was sent to an email address then the receiver of that email can view or print the Fax from his computer.

The SFD can also download a Fax (send by another SFD) from an Email box and print to the local fax machine. This valuable feature enables two users to send Faxes as normal (Fax to Fax) using just thier email address.

Fax forwarding is another new technology feature offered by the SFD which brings in all new dimension to Fax communications. The SFD can also be instructed to receive Faxes like a normal Fax machine and then forward this Fax to a pre configured email address. This means that irrespective of where you are, you will always be able to view your Faxes received at your office or home through your email box.

The SFD is a high technology product brought to you at a low cost by using some of the latest components available in the world.
