It is intended for use on Zetafax 2014 systems, which included version 6.6.0 of the Brooktrout drivers, and also Zetafax 2014 systems with the Brooktrout driver version 6.7.0 update installed.

The update is required for any Zetafax Server using the LP03 PCI Express low profile TR1034 Analog boards.

More information

The release includes the following changes:

• Support for LP03 PCI Express low profile TR1034 Analog boards
• The Brooktrout drivers have now been certified by Dialogic for use with the LP03 PCI Express low profile TR1034 Analog boards.
• Improved G.711 Performance – SR140
• When using G.711 for faxing in deployments with network impairments, performance has been improved. If a T.38 re-invite is rejected by the remote end-point, a re-invite can be re-attempted using G.711 if configured from the Brooktrout Configuration Utility. Additionally, the G.711 RTP jitter buffer has been expanded to support a longer time period.
• Fixes to the following issues:
• Under rare conditions, a TR1034 digital board configured as E1 may have difficulty synchronizing with the remote device after the Boston Host Service is started.
• On occasion, the Boston Host Service would crash when a SIP 200 OK message was received immediately after a SIP Provisional (e.g.  180 RINGING) message with Early Media specified.
• If a T.38 re-invite is received with the max datagram size set greater than 1024, the SR140 would not send a 200 OK response to continue the fax session.
• Some pages of incoming faxes with multiple page resolutions appear squashed or stretched.
