Concept of the Partner Fax solution for Exchange 2010
The following graphic shows, how incoming fax messages are processed with Exchange 2010 in combination
with a partner solution (T.38 based fax server):

Internal Fax solution vs external provider
Partner fax solutions can either be installed directly at the customer or provided by an external third-party pro -
vider. If all fax features including dispatching are required, an installation on site is usually the best way to go. The
applied UM-Gateway should for this be compatible with this fax solution.
With external fax solutions, usually only the receiving of fax solutions (which is enough for most users especial -
ly in the USA) is supported. In this case T.38 fax data is routed via the normal internet connection, which results
in lowered service quality (rate of successful fax messages). The translation of T.38 to connection with Jitter and
packet-loss on the internet as well as several different sending fax devices can lead to a decrease in the success rate
from 100% (with direct TDM/ISDN connection) down to 90%.
