Design Flexibility Speeds System Introduction
for the Widest Range of Fax Machines

Conexant offers the industry's largest selection of fax engines.

A FaxEngine, which combines a fax controller and fax modem,

provides the center of a complete standalone fax solution. For

decades Conexant has led facsimile technology migration,

enabling OEMs to quickly bring to market fax-ready products

with an optimized balance of features and price.

Today, Conexant's expertise in data communications and its

unique capabilities in system integration allow OEMs to support

a broad range of applications in a variety of markets, from

high-performance office products to low-cost consumer

appliances. Recognizing that a major challenge for OEMs is to

develop products with an optimal balance between enhanced

features and cost, Conexant provides a wide range of FaxEngine

solutions permitting OEMs flexibility in features while maintaining

production efficiencies.

Conexant has committed to a strong product roadmap that

aggressively addresses the importance of fax communications

and the market drivers -- a growing SOHO segment, increasing

popularity of telecommuting and inkjet printing capability.

FE100/200 eXtended FaxEngine

Device Set

Every FaxEngine packs a complete fax solution in

a compact two-device set. Rockwell's FE100/200

FaxEngine adds error diffusion, dark level correction

(DLC), and flash memory support to create a new family

of comprehensive fax communication products. Plus,

the FE100/200 FaxEngine supports a variety of optional

advanced features, including digital answering machine,

automatic speech recognition (ASR) and full-duplex

speakerphone. The FE100/200 is backward compatible

with Conexant's popular XFE FaxEngine device set.The

pin-to-pin and software compatibility within the XFE

and FE100/200 FaxEngine families offers easy and quick

upgrades for higher performance and feature flexibility.

Single-Chip FaxEngine (SCE100)

Conexant's newest and most advanced FaxEngine

solution offers all of the features and performance of

the FE100/200 product line with the addition of many

cost-saving features, such as low power mode and

power-on detection circuitry. These new capabilities

and enhancements along with the integration of the

fax controller and modem into one chip continue to

push the envelope for highly integrated, low-cost

FaxEngine solutions.

What is a Fax Engine?

Fax technology is diverging into two separate classes

of devices: multifunction peripherals (MFPs) and

fax phones. MFPs are fax-enabled products that are

connected to a host PC, while fax phones are the

traditional standalone fax machines. As fax technology

improves, features and capabilities that were once found

only on high-end and mid-volume machines are migrating

downward. Multiple features including speakerphone,

answering machine, Caller ID, cordless phones and

Automatic Speech Recognition will become a part of

every standalone fax machine -- evolving into the fax

phone. And the fax phone is here to stay.

Despite all the various new document-messaging methods

-- email, Internet, intranets -- market research confirms

that the fax machine remains the key communications

tool in Fortune 500 and mid-size companies. The stand-

alone fax machine continues to be extremely popular

because of reliability, familiarity and ease of use, universal

compatibility and speed in delivering information and

generating responses.

Within a standalone fax machine, Conexant offers a

complete system solution referred to as the FaxEngineTM

-- including a fax controller and a fax modem. The fax

controller acts as the "brain" managing and directing the

appropriate processing for fax, copy, print and scan activi-

ties. Fax modems are similar to data modems in structure,

but implement different algorithms to optimize performance,

and are governed by different ITU standards. Conventional

fax modems support ITU V.27ter,V.29 and V.17. In addi-

tion, fax modems support ITU standard V.21 Ch2 for

standard G3 fax handshaking (connections) as well as the

tone generation required to complete the handshake.

FE100/200 system block diagram

The FaxEngine controller performs all common facsimile machine

control, monitor and interface functions. Additionally, it contains

scanner, printer, keyboard, stepper motor and line interfaces.

These programmable functions support a wide range of peripherals

including inkjet and thermal transfer plain paper print engines.

FM209 and FM214 MONOFAX

Modem

Conexant's MONOFAX modem family offers the most voice

and speech features integrated into a single fax modem device

available for OEMs today. Plus, this MONOFAX family is the

first to offer ASR in fax modems for applications addressing

a range of markets. The ASR technology demonstrates high

speech-recognition accuracy, as well as a flexible vocabulary

for menu functions. The software can be customized for individual

OEM requirements.
