Welcome to the Brooktrout Bfv API SDK

Introduction

Welcome to the Brooktrout Technology Bfv API Software Development Kit (SDK) Release 4.1.0. Brooktrout computer telephony products provide a wide range of reliable, high-performance PCI models for both voice and fax applications in the enterprise market and for the service provider.

 

The Brooktrout products consist of the following:

• TR1000: High-performance voice, speech and fax resource platform
• TR1034: Advanced 33.6 kilobit per second intelligent fax boards for TDM and T.38 for IP networks
• SR140: High-performance host-based T.38 fax for IP networks

 

Brooktrout products are scalable from two-channel analog or BRI up to multiple T1/E1 digital boards across a wide range of line protocols, densities and geographical environments. Although these products offer varying voice and fax capabilities and densities, all share a common development environment that provides high- and low-level access to a comprehensive suite of functional components. The Brooktrout Fax and Voice (Bfv) API family provides a complete set of C language libraries of telephony, fax, and voice function calls, including:    

• Fax and Voice Media Processing
• Call Control
• Switching
• Call Progress
• Conferencing

 

The Bfv API family covers high- and low-level access to features, allowing system developers to perform low-level call control and switching and to integrate directly with their choice of third party IP call control stacks and speech recognition systems.

 

The Bfv API SDK provides all of the software, documentation, and common APIs needed to support any of the Brooktrout fax products and the TruFax BRI products.
