Fax High Reliable Method - Panasonic KX-TDA0484 Programming Manual

2.2 Programming

FAX High Reliable Method

If ECM-capable fax machines are not available, it is necessary to use the "FAX High Reliable
Method" (a proprietary feature of the card). This feature is used to multiplex the packets when
sending them over the network for protection against packet loss. Hence it is possible to achieve
reliable fax communications without using ECM-capable fax machines.
However, keep in mind that this feature does not entirely guarantee error-free fax communications.
Also, more bandwidth is required for one VoIP channel when using this feature. The tables below
show the amount of bandwidth required for one VoIP channel when this feature is in use and not in
use:
