Abstract:
A method of analyzing the quality of a communication network for facsimile devices, wherein the communication network comprises at least a first facsimile device communicating through a digital network and a second facsimile device communicating through an analog network. The method comprises establishing a connection between the facsimile devices using the communication network, assessing a configuration of the connection between the facsimile devices, identifying at least one problem in the connection between the facsimile devices, and generating a network diagnostic report of the at least one identified problem. A network diagnostic report may be delivered to a user interface. Bits of the facsimile information fields (FIF) of the digital identification signal (DIS) and non-standard facilities (NSF) signal of the second facsimile device are compared to analyze problems with the communication network.
Abstract:
A facsimile transmission speed setting method, medium, and apparatus. The facsimile transmission speed setting method may include transmitting a DCS signal and a Training Sequence using a transmitting fax unit that receives the DCS signal from a receiving fax unit, checking the Training Sequence at a receiving side of the receiving fax unit, and if there is no transmission error in the received Training Sequence, maintaining a current transmission speed by transmitting a CFR signal to the transmitting fax unit, checking for a transmission error in Training Sequence, and checking whether the transmission error is within a predetermined range. If the transmission error is within the predetermined range the current transmission speed is maintained by transmitting the CFR signal to the transmitting fax unit, and if the transmission error is not within the predetermined range the transmission speed is reduced by transmitting an FTT signal to the transmitting fax unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for a network adaptive error control for selecting an appropriate error control method according to the statue of a network, in transmitting a fax data over the Internet by using a T.38 protocol. The provided method includes receiving a T.38 fax data to recognize errors, transmitting a predetermined statistical information on the T.38 fax data to the media gateway controllers, selecting an error control method by determining the status of a network over which the T.38 fax data is transmitted, based on the statistical information, transmitting the error control method to the gateway that transmits the T.38 fax data, and renewing an existing error control method by receiving the error control method and transmitting the T.38 fax data according to the renewed error control method. According to the provided method, an appropriate error control method can be used according to the status of a network in real time, in transmitting a fax data over the Internet. Therefore, the performance of an error control improves, thereby securing a stable communication and improving a transmission speed. As a result, a communication speed increases so that transmission efficiency improves.
Abstract:
For the purpose of efficiently determining the transmission capacity of a digital relay transmission path, adjusting the phase between commands and responses, and detecting faults, in the case in which a judgment is made that the image information transmission path capacity between communication apparatuses is smaller than or inferior to the performance of the communication apparatuses, when a training signal for the purpose of performing a circuit check is sent from a transmitting-side facsimile machine, the transmitting-side communication apparatus intentionally sends a failed training signal to the receiving-side communication apparatus, this giving notice of an abnormal termination, in response to which the transmitting-side facsimile machine performs a fallback operation so as to reduce the communication speed to a speed at which relaying is possible between the communication apparatuses before sending the image information.
