Image Handling for High Throughput Fax Applications |
|
An advanced image handling capability, called forms overlay, has been developed by Brooktrout Technology for the TR114 which allows efficient and flexible transmission of similarly formatted faxes. Forms overlay, an exclusive capability of the TR114, overcomes the limitations of traditional methods for fax image handling in high throughput applications. (MSWord - Size 49K) |

T1 Digital Trunks

Implementing T1 in the LAN Fax Environment |
|
With a T1 subscriber line you get up to 24 virtual phone lines or "channels" on a single physical line made up of two pairs of twisted copper wires. There are three clear advantages to using a T1 line over analog loop start or DID lines: cost, inbound routing flexibility, and channel density.

Utilizing Basic Rate ISDN in a LAN Fax Application |
|
The advantages of using ISDN lines (as opposed to analog telephone lines) for fax applications is fast call set-up and use of Called Party Number (CPN) information for inbound fax routing. Brooktrout integrated Basic Rate Interfaces allow a 2- or 4-channel TR114 Universal Port Fax and Voice board to be directly connected to an ISDN BRI line.

Guide to Least Cost Routing with RightFax |
|
Least cost routing (LCR) allows you to route data using the least expensive path. The fax industry has adapted LCR to include the process of routing faxes among fax servers on a network, to reduce traffic over the public phone lines. By using an organization's Internet or intranet connections, faxes can be routed to the server closest to the fax destination, potentially converting a fax transmission from a long distance call to a local call.
