Image Processing

CAD/CAE and medical imaging applications may require the transmittal of an image cross-country. These
applications can use either public, switched (

ACCUNET

Switched Digital Service or Software-Defined

Digital Network) or private, nonswitched (

ACCUNET

T1.5 or

ACCUNET

Spectrum) facilities for image

transmission from site to site. Figure 9-5 shows a typical configuration.

FAX Transmittal

Group 3 facsimile is used for stand-alone and person-to-person communication; while Group 4 — whose
applications include electronic mail, optical character recognition, and document transmittal and storage —
is better suited for computer-controlled network communication. Group 3 FAX is typically sent over the
public voice network and provides analog transmission at speed up to 9.6 kbps; while Group 4 demands
64-kbps ISDN-PRI facilities. The

ACCUNET

Switched Digital Service or the Software-Defined Digital

Network can provide Group 4 FAX transmittals through their SW64 service. The

ACCUNET

Packet Service

can be used for these transmittals if a packet assembler/disassembler in inserted in the communications
stream immediately before and after the transmissions are processed through the network. Private,
nonswitched

ACCUNET

T1.5 or

ACCUNET

Spectrum facilities can also be used.
