FaxLab®

Features

  • Emulates 163 V.17 and 39 V.34 fax machines, MFPs, fax modems and PC-based fax software
  • End-to-end capabilities automate testing of communication networks and facilitate T.38 testing
  • Real-world fax traffic generation
  • NEW! FaxLab Viewer application

Benefits

  • No need to purchase, operate and monitor dozens of fax devices
  • Automates communication network testing
  • Reduces test time while increasing thoroughness and test coverage
  • Reduces support costs by verifying interoperability prior to product release
  • Share results with others who do not own FaxLab

Testing interoperability and compatibility is an essential step in bringing new fax devices or technologies to market. In the past, the only way to perform this testing was to purchase large numbers of fax devices and manually test dozens of such devices with as many feature combinations as could be accessed from their front panels.

FaxLab is used by MFP manufacturers to simplify fax device interoperability and compatibility testing. 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 saves time, reduces costs and helps you get your product to market faster, and the level of testing provided by FaxLab is significantly deeper than can be accomplished manually.

FaxLab Viewer

The FaxLab Viewer application included with FaxLab lets you open and view an existing FaxLab database without a full copy of the FaxLab 7 software, so you can share results of FaxLab sessions with others who need to review results.
