Familiarization with MShow

• Audio streaming• Sending us questions

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

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

Types of fax applications

Occasional fax• PC-PBX with fax• Unified messaging

system• Fax on demand

Fax server• Fax broadcasting• Email / fax gateway

Example: PC-PBX with 2 fax ports

Example: Fax on demand

• Call in and request a fax of a real estate listing

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

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

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

Fax broadcasting time-sensitive info to subscribers

Resource management

• Occasional fax– Few DSP resources required

• Fax server– Many DSP resources required– Add V-Engines if necessary

• dspcalc563xx.xls

• PikaSetup.exe

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

• Fax server application

• dspcalc563xx.xls shows that we can transmit 6 channels of fax per DSP

• More DSPs required for high density applications
