Abstract:
Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.

Claim (Index 2):
A faxing system, comprising:\n a data store storing one or more destination entries, each destination entry including a destination on a publicly switched telephone network (PSTN) and one or more communication parameters, each communication parameter having an associated a value; a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for: receiving a request to transmit a document to a specified destination on the PSTN, wherein the request is received over a computer network from a sender;\n determining that a destination entry corresponding to the specified destination exists in the data store; \n determining the one or more communication parameters with associated values associated with the destination entry corresponding to the specified destination; \n initiating a first transmission of the document over the PSTN using the associated values associated with the destination entry corresponding to the specified destination as initial values for the one or more communication parameters; \n determining a failure associated with the first transmission of the document over the PSTN according to the initial values for the one or more communication parameters; \n in response to determining the failure associated with the first transmission, determining updated values for the one or more communication parameters to use for transmitting the document by replacing the initial value of the one or more communication parameters with an updated value for the each of the one or more communication parameters, wherein the updated value for a corresponding communication parameter that replaces the initial value for that communication parameter is determined based on a parameter selection rule and the initial value for the communication parameter; and \n initiating a second transmission of the document over the PSTN according to the updated values for the one or more communication parameters.
