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
• 900 am broadcast fax on 10,000 channels
• Stock Tip of the Day before markets open
• 1000 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
