GL Communications (News - Alert) has released its Enhanced Fax Emulation software, which is available with user-friendly GUI for Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.

2-wire FXO and 4-wire analogs are the interfaces supported for fax generation. Fax Emulation is fully automated using VQuad scripts and can be initiated remotely so that one VQuad can control both sides of the fax. With proper time sequences, VQuad Fax provides all pertinent real-time fax messaging. On both the send and receive sides, one can follow the fax session from start to finish, the company stated in a press release.

Robert Bichefsky, senior manager at GL Communications said, “Fax emulation has never been easier using GL's products. Now – low cost, easy to use fax emulation is available with our VQuad and Dual UTA 2-wire and 4-wire hardware platforms. GL's VQuad has been enhanced to support sending and receiving of up to 4 independent and simultaneous T.30 faxes over the Dual UTA hardware platform. The user can configure the TX and RX fax rate from 2400 bps to 33,600 bps.”

VQuad Fax provides the ability to automatically save the fax session (both east and west directions) to a PCM file in order to fully support GL's Fax Analysis products. For further analysis of the fax session, this file can be exported to GLInsight or GL’s Fax Demodulator/Decoder analysis software packages. For fully automated analysis, GL's Fax Demodulator/Decoder can be configured.

Recently, the company announced the launch of its product PPP and ML-PPP Packet Data Analyzer (PDA) software. For VoIP calls (SIP/H323/Megaco/MGCP/T.38 Fax) the new software segregates, captures, and collects statistics.

The software provides graphical presentation of analysis, including ladder diagrams of protocols and monitors QoS (quality of service) on voice and video calls. Apart from offering long-term traffic statistics gathering, its real-time nature makes it an outstanding tool for live monitoring of VoIP traffic.
