Avaya Integration for Fax over IP
Organizations transitioning from traditional fax communications to Fax over IP (FoIP) services can maximize cost savings and increase productivity. How can organizations take advantage of the financial and productivity benefits gained by implementing FoIP?
Organizations can realize the advantages of implementing Fax over IP (FoIP) by deploying a FAXCOM Fax Server that is equipped with the Dialogic BrookTrout SR140 Virtual Fax Board. Faxes can then be routed over an IP network without any need to invest expensive new infrastructure. FAXCOM® FoIP Servers transmit fax messages via the T.38 protocol and integrate with Avaya Communication Manager to complete the transmission through the H.323 and SIP trunk interface.
Integrating the FAXCOM FoIP Fax Server with Avaya Communication Manager enables organizations to leverage the investment in their existing VoIP network, helping reduce costs and improve productivity. Avaya Communication Manager is an open, scalable, and highly reliable telephony solution that provides centralized call control for a resilient, distributed network of media gateways and a wide range of analog, digital, and IP-based communication devices.
As a “boardless” implementation, the FAXCOM Server T.38 FoIP model uses only fax server software license keys to route faxes over the VoIP network, meaning organizations can increase the number of channels simply by adding license keys. One FAXCOM FoIP Server can support from 2 to 96 channels.
