Brooktrout
Technology is the market leader in Intelligent Fax technology, having
pioneered the category in 1994. Acquired from over a decade of experience,
Brooktrout’s TruFax Series has a built in library of communication
techniques that identify and adapt to the various implementations
of real world fax machines and line conditions. This technical formula,
TruFax’s Adaptive Call Progress ensures unparalleled levels of compatibility,
high rates of connectivity and high overall transmission speeds.
Brooktrout’s TruFax® Series is a line of intelligent fax boards
that offer small to medium-sized businesses and departmental workgroups
dependable fax capabilities for a variety of computer based fax
applications, such as network fax and fax broadcast. The TruFax
Series offers a level of reliability and fax performance that businesses
can depend on at an economical price point for low volume fax traffic.
Unlike Class 1 and Class 2 fax modems, TruFax’s advanced fax algorithms,
dedicated fax processing components, and a single-purpose design
delivers the performance that enterprise fax applications require.
TruFax offers Adaptive Call Progress algorithms to
ensure high connectivity rates and transmissions speeds across a
wide range of fax machines and telephone line conditions. It is
the same Intelligent Fax technology used in Brooktrout’s high-end,
market leading TR114™ and TR1034™ Series. TruFax processes the fax
protocol onboard, thereby lowering the CPU utilization of the server
and improving overall system performance. Designed purposely to
support fax-only modulation, TruFax provides a high level of network
security from unauthorized data call attempts.
The TruFax 100 one-channel fax board is for customers
who have minimal faxing requirements, but still require a highly
reliable and dependable solution. The TruFax 200 two-channel fax
board is recommended for use with a network fax solution. By configuring
the board to send and receive faxes through separate channels, the
fax solution is always prepared to receive faxes in one channel
while the other channel is occupied sending faxes from the outbound
job queue.
Universal PCI (uPCI)
Universal PCI (uPCI) is the ability to
plug a Brooktrout intelligent fax board into either a 3.3V or 5V
bus slot in a server chassis. A board that is uPCI will be physically
‘keyed’ for both 3.3V and 5V bus slots. That is, there will be a
second notch in the PCI connector on the board. The 3.3V notch will
be on the left of the connector, closer to the card bracket than
the 5V notch (which is on the right).
Brooktrout’s TruFax, TR114 Loop Start, TR114 BRI, TR114
DID, TR114 Combo (Loop/DID), and TR1034 fax cards are all Universal
PCI compatible (per PCI-SIG Specification 2.3). All Brooktrout uPCI
cards at present are 32-bit, 33MHz, 3.3V/5V universal connector
cards. These cards will work in servers that have the following
PCI bus slot characteristics up to and including:
- 64-bit connector
- 133MHz bus clock speed
- 3.3V-only bus slots
- 3.3V-only slot signaling
