Femail® 2000 Telex integration

Even though the volume of telex messages is decreasing, it still remains a critical communications medium in many environments such as banking, finance, brokering and the shipping industry. Critical, because of legal reasons but also because – to some destinations or in some situations – it still remains the only reliable means of communication available. Therefore telex continues to play a role in many companies.
That is why there can still be a need to integrate telex with all the other forms of communication used in your company. This is where most Unified Messaging packages stop, but Femail® 2000 continues. Based on over two decades of experience with telex, today we still offer a reliable, secure and seamless integration with your mail system for both your outgoing and incoming telex traffic through Telex over IP even withouth use of a physical telex connection.

Indepent of which of our telex solutions you choose you will always benefit from the same high power common features such as:

• Intelligent retry schemas which will automatically adjust retry times and retry delays based on the detected fail condition such as OCC, NP etc.
• For incoming traffic, the system can be configured to route messages directly to one or multiple mailboxes, network printers, applications, etc. An incoming telex message will be scanned (with the possibility of using a soundex algoritm) for keywords which can be linked to a mailbox, network printer, applications, etc. The inbound routing can be configured using the native Femail® 2000 routing lists or stored in your Active Directory.
• Automatic text conversion of non-telex characters to the Baudot telex character set.

Femail® 2000 Telex over IP Service

With this service you can still send and be accessible via telex using your own telex number and answerback just like through any traditional telex machine but withouth the need for physical telex hardware and telex lines. The Femail® 2000 Telex over IP Service communicates directly with the telex exchange servers of a US based telex provider offering the possiblity of sending and receiving telex messages via store and forward and in real-time. When communication in real-time there is an end-to-end connection between the sender and receiver where the sender is in direct contact with the telex device of the other party.

When KPN decided that it would stop servicing the telex network in The Netherlands as of January 2007, we worked closely toghether with KPN to migrate their customers to the Telex over IP solution. Through agrements made with KPN customers could keep their existing Dutch telex numbers and answerbacks and maintain telex as an integrated part of their automated messaging infrastructure even withouth the existance of a local telex network.

Security
Next to the security through answerback exchange, embedded on the telex protocol level, Femail® 2000 Telex over IP uses the latest SSL/TLS encryption algorithms, which makes it a very secure form of communications via the Internet. Femail® 2000 Telex over IP complies with Open SSL 0.9.7 standards supporting the AES (US Advanced Encryption Standard) symmetric algorithm known as RiJndael (256-bit keys.)

Speed
Femail® 2000 Telex over IP communicates with the telex exchange with the speed that is supported by your Internet connection. When sending even the longest store and forward message it can take literally seconds to transmit. However, due to the standards required by the ITU, real-time telex communications are maintained at the standard 50 Baud speed despite the speed of your internet connection.

Femail® 2000 Telex Service

Next to Telex over IP we also still support the classic telex connection using a telex box. The telex box is an intelligent modem that provides the interface between the Femail® 2000 Telex service and the telex line. It has been designed for ease of operation and connection to any computer that has RS232C capability.

The following telex line interfaces are supported: SCVF-V21/ R20. SCVF-ED1000. SCVF-Bell 108. Double Current Polar. Single Current Neutral.
