Fax Quality Parameters & Real-Time Fax Progress Status in ICTFax

Sending a fax is no longer just “hit send and hope it works.” Enterprises need confidence that each transmission meets quality standards and visibility into the progress of every fax. ICTFax open source fax server software introduces Fax Quality Parameters and Real-Time Fax Progress Status, giving administrators and users the tools to monitor, control, and optimize every fax job.

These features ensure reliability, transparency, and professionalism across all fax communications.

    Enable or disable ECM to reduce transmission errors over unstable lines.
  • Retry and Timeout Settings
    Configure the number of automatic retries, wait times, and timeout thresholds to prevent failed transmissions.
