Agenda Different types of fax applications –Occasional fax –Fax server Architectures of such applications Resource management tools –dspcalc563xx.xls –PikaSetup.exe PIKA’s fax features Overview of PK_FAX_* API functions Benchmarks
5
Fax on all PIKA cards The content of this webinar applies to all PIKA MM-series cards –InLine MM, Daytona MM, PrimeNet MM –Equipped with Motorola 56303 DSPs to support PIKA’s “All-on-Board” features including fax
6
Types of fax applications Occasional fax PC-PBX with fax Unified messaging system Fax on demand Fax server Fax broadcasting Email / fax gateway
7
Example: PC-PBX with 2 fax ports
9
Example: Fax on demand Call in and request a fax of a real estate listing
10
Occasional fax Few fax ports supporting many trunks Resource pooling / management Uses advanced tone detection (ATD) to conserve DSP processing power No additional DSPs required
11
Fax server Fax broadcasting Always fax on all ports Additional DSPs are usually required for high density applications Rule of thumb: –Rx 4 fax channels per DSP (Rx/Tx) –Tx 6 fax channels per DSP
12
Fax server example Financial institution must fax time- sensitive information to subscribers 9:00 am broadcast fax on 10,000 channels –“Stock Tip of the Day” before markets open 10:00 am broadcast audio on 9,000 channels –Quarterly earnings report
13
Fax broadcasting time- sensitive info to subscribers
14
Resource management Occasional fax –Few DSP resources required Fax server –Many DSP resources required –Add V-Engines if necessary dspcalc563xx.xls PikaSetup.exe
15
Resource estimation: Occasional PC-PBX with fax capabilities 24 trunks to PSTN with IVR, auto attendant capabilities, voicemail, etc. Want to add fax capability on all trunks, any 2 simultaneous max. dspcalc563xx.xls shows we can add 2 channels of fax Tx and Rx No additional DSPs required

PIKA: high density fax solution Fully loaded PrimeNet MM quad span 6 Tx channels x 22 DSPs = 132 Tx Maximum transmit density on market 4 Rx channels x 22 DSPs = 88 Rx 22 DSPs = 4 onboard DSPs + 3 VE-6 Compare to 92 / 96 / 120 –T1 ISDN / T1 RBS / E1 ISDN or CAS
30
PIKA’s fax features Supports ITU-T V.21, V.27ter, V.29 and V.17 modems for send and receive data rates up to 14.4 Kbps. ITU-T T.30 ECM (error correction mode) Automatic detection of incoming calls Header and footers added by senders and receivers
31
PIKA’s fax features (cont’d) Subscriber ID T.4 and T.6 formats including: –Metric- and inch-based page sizes –All resolutions including 100x100, 200x200, 300x300 and 400x400 –MH, MR and MMR encoding TIFF-F format

PIKA’s fax APIs PK_FAX_AddDocument PK_FAX_ClearDocuments PK_FAX_GetStatus PK_FAX_RxStart PK_FAX_SetPageHeaderAndFooter PK_FAX_Stop PK_FAX_TxStart
35
PK_FAX_AddDocument Syntax PK_STATUS PK_FAX_AddDocument ( IN TResourceHandle hPort, IN PK_INT TxOrRxDocument, IN PK_CHAR *Filename, IN TFaxDocumentParameters *Parameters );
36
Parameters for PK_FAX_AddDocument hPort:Valid DSP port handle from PK_DSP_DEVICE_GetPortHandle or PK_DSP_DEVICE_SeizePort TxOrRxDocument:Indicates if the document has to be queued for sending or receiving. Valid values include: PK_FAX_TX_DOCUMENT, PK_FAX_RX_DOCUMENT FileName:Pointer to the path and filename of an existing file to send or a file to create when receiving. Parameters:Pointer to a TFaxDocumentParameters structure. Default values are: PK_FAX_RESOLUTION_HIGH, PK_FAX_ENCODING_MMR, PK_FAX_WIDTH_A4 | PK_FAX_WIDTH_B4 | PK_FAX_WIDTH_
