2. General Test Approach and Test Results

This section describes the general test approach us ed to verify the interoperability of Sagemcom

XMediusFAX SP Edition with the Avaya SIP infrastructure (S ession Manager and

Communication Manager). This section also covers th e test results.

The general test approach was to make intra-site and i nter-site fax calls to and from the

XMediusFAX fax server. The compliance tested configurati on contained two sites. Site 2 served

as the main enterprise site and Site 1 served as a simulated PST N or a remote enterprise site.

Inter-site calls and simulated PSTN calls were made using SI P trunks and ISDN-PRI trunks

between the sites. By using two Communication Managers an d two port networks at Site 1, fax

calls across multiple TDM/IP hops were able to be tested. Faxe s were sent with various page

lengths, resolutions, and at various fax data speeds. For ca pacity testing, 100 2-page faxes were

continuously sent between the two XMediusFAX fax servers. Serviceability testing included

verifying proper operation/recovery from network outa ges, unavailable resources, and

Communication Manager and XMediusFAX restarts. Fax calls were also tested with different

Avaya Media Gateway media resources to process the fax data. T his included the TN2302

MedPro circuit pack, the TN2602 MedPro circuit pack in th e Avaya G650 Media Gateway; and

the integrated VoIP engine of the Avaya G450 Media Gate way.

XMediusFAX successfully passed compliance testi ng.
