The test was held on the 28th June 2000 in Japan. The following independently implemented and jointly tested RFC2304. Matsushita Graphic Communication Systems Inc. TOYOCOM Inc. This report is organized in 2 sections. Section 1 describes the method and results of RFC2304 interoperability testing. Section 2 describes the independent RFC2304 implementations, by implementor. RFC2304 is the application of RFC2303 generic specification to FAX addresses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 1: RFC2304 INTEROPERABILITY TESTING ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Testing Method 1-1. TOYOCOM sends the data to Internet Fax (IFAX) of M.G.C.S. (figure 1) . --------- ------------ ---------- ------ | Gateway | | IFAX | |Onramp GW | | | | TOYOCOM | ------->| M.G.C.S. |------>| DX-2000 |----->| PC | |_________| Internet|____________| PSTN |__________| LAN |______| figure 1 1)OnRamp Gateway of TOYOCOM sends the data with the following address formula. FAX=+81312345677@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp FAX=+81312345677/T33S=1234@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp FAX=+81312345677/T33S=5678@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp FAX+81-3-12345677@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp FAX=+81312345677/T33S=1234@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp and FAX=+81312345677/T33S=5678@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp /FAX=+81-3-12345677/T33S=1234/@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp and /FAX=+81.3.12345677/T33S=5678/@ifax.mgcs.mei.co.jp 2)IFax of M.G.C.S. sends the fax to DX-2000 with the addresss 03-12345677 including sub-address 1234 and/or 5678. 3)DX-2000(IFAX made by Panafax) sends e-mail to PC which has the corresponding e-mail address of the sub address. DX-2000 is used for verification method of sub address field in FIF. 1-2. M.G.C.S. sends the data to the OffRamp Gateway of TOYOCOM (figure 2) . --------- ------------ ---------- ------ | IFAX | | Gateway | |Onramp GW | | | | M.G.C.S | ------->| TOYOCOM |------>| DX-2000 |----->| PC | |_________| Internet|____________| PSTN |__________| LAN |______| figure 2 1)M.G.C.S. sends the data to the OffRamp Gateway of TOYOCOM (figure 2). FAX=+81312345677@ifax.toyocom.co.jp FAX=+81312345677/T33S=1234@ifax.toyocom.co.jp etc. 2),3) repeat same procedure as article 2-1. 3. Results We satisfied the items of "RFC2304 Interworking Configuration Matrix" which has deliverd to Fax Connect II. (https://www.imc.org/imc-faxconnect/) The items are below. 1) Minimum Specification (MUST) All implementations supporting this FAX over e-mail address format MUST supports as a minimum the specification described in this document(RFC 2304) 2) qualif-type1 element (REQUIRED) The minimal addressing for the fax service also requires support for a "qualif-type1" elment. This element is an OPTIONAL element of the fax address, but its support, when present, is REQUIRED. 3) Fax address minimum specification (REQUIRED) The minimal specification of a fax in e-mail address is: fax-address = fax-mbox["T33S="sub-addr] fax-mbox = "FAX="global-phone 4) Multiple T.33 Subaddresses (MUST) In case a particular service requires multiple T.33 subaddresses, and these subaddresses need to be given on the same "fax-mbox", multiple "fax-email" elements will be used. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 2: RFC2304 IMPLEMENTATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of implementation: MGCS Internet Fax Organization: Matsushita Graphic Communication Systems Inc.
