Fax test tool
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2006
FaxLab 6, the latest upgrade of QualityLogic’s fax interoperability test tool, adds 12 V.34 profiles and 12 V.17 profiles for emulating multifunction peripherals from a variety of manufacturers at various resolutions and compressions. With this release, FaxLab now emulates 151 V.17 and 27 V.34 fax machines, multifunction peripherals, fax modems, and PC-based fax software.
Using detailed statistical profiles and a comprehensive set of test calls, FaxLab plays back the behavior of real-world devices, allowing you to replace a room full of fax devices with software. FaxLab uses QualityLogic’s ChannelTrap, an external hardware device that generates and receives facsimile traffic. With additional ChannelTraps, FaxLab can execute up to 32 fax calls simultaneously.
Other enhancements that can be found in Release 6.0 include improved V.34 to V.17 fall-back and analysis capabilities, plus automation features that let you remotely select, start, and stop ChannelTraps; select and execute test calls using specified emulations; load and execute saved ChannelTrap test configurations, including call lists; log execution of test calls; and retrieve pass/fail and ITU Figure of Merit test call results.
