  1. Welcome! Today’s Webinar: Facts about PIKA Fax • Irene Crosby • Head of Marketing • PIKA Technologies

  2. Your Webinar Leader Eric Pretlac Technical Support Specialist Customer Care Department

  3. Familiarization with MShow • Audio streaming • Sending us questions

  4. 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. Occasional fax PC-PBX with fax Unified messaging system Fax on demand Fax server Fax broadcasting Email / fax gateway Types of fax applications

  7. Example: PC-PBX with 2 fax ports

  8. 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. Faxserver • 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

  17. Timeslot assignment: Incorrect

  18. Timeslot assignment: Correct

  19. PikaSetup: Modem fax tones

  20. Resource estimation: Server • Fax server application • dspcalc563xx.xls shows that we can transmit 6 channels of fax per DSP • More DSPs required for high density applications

  21. 1 2 3 Resource estimation: Server

  22. Resource estimation: Server

  23. Resource estimation: Server

  24. Resource estimation: Server

  25. Fax server

  26. 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

  27. 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

  28. 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

  29. MonteCarlo API reference

  30. MonteCarlo fax API

  31. 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

  32. PK_FAX_AddDocument Syntax PK_STATUS PK_FAX_AddDocument ( IN TResourceHandle hPort, IN PK_INT TxOrRxDocument, IN PK_CHAR *Filename, IN TFaxDocumentParameters *Parameters );

  33. 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_ Parameters for PK_FAX_AddDocument

  34. Concept: Document queue • Fax on demand for real estate listings

  35. PK_FAX_TxStart Syntax PK_STATUS PK_FAX_TxStart ( IN TResourceHandle hPort, IN TFaxTxParameters *Parameters );

  36. hPort: Valid DSP port handle from PK_DSP_DEVICE_GetPortHandle or PK_DSP_DEVICE_SeizePort Parameters: Pointer to a TFAXTxParameters structure. Defaults values: minimumRate PK_FAX_RATE_2400 modemType PK_FAX_MODEM_V27 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V29 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V33 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V17 encoding PK_FAX_ENCODING_MMR resolution PK_FAX_RESOLUTION_HIGH pageWidth PK_FAX_WIDTH_A3 IDRequired PK_FALSE ECMEnabled PK_TRUE printHeaderAndFooter PK_FALSE timeout 40000ms SID “” (empty string) Parameters for PK_FAX_TxStart

  37. PK_FAX_RxStart Syntax PK_STATUS PK_FAX_RxStart ( IN TResourceHandle hPort, IN TFaxRxParameters *Parameters );

  38. hPort: Valid DSP port handle from PK_DSP_DEVICE_GetPortHandle or PK_DSP_DEVICE_SeizePort Parameters: Pointer to a TFAXRxParameters structure. Defaults values: minimumRate PK_FAX_RATE_2400 modemType PK_FAX_MODEM_V27 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V29 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V33 | PK_FAX_MODEM_V17 encoding PK_FAX_ENCODING_MMR resolution PK_FAX_RESOLUTION_HIGH pageWidth PK_FAX_WIDTH_A3 IDRequired PK_FALSE ECMEnabled PK_TRUE printHeaderAndFooter PK_FALSE timeout 40000ms SID “” (empty string) Parameters for PK_FAX_RxStart

  39. Benchmarks • Load testing • 440 chs continuous back-to-back Tx/Rx • Millions of fax transactions • Conformance testing • Real-world fax modem compatibility • Based on Commetrex fax technology

  40. PikaTest tutorial “how to fax” • PikaTest.exe utility in MonteCarlo 6.2 has a tutorial on how to receive a fax • At command line type: ? how to fax
