Intelligent Retry

“Intelligent Retry” is a method that resumes a partially successful fax from
where it left off. If a fax fails in the middle, on a retry the first page will be resent
(usually the cover sheet), and then the remaining pages will be sent. This
prevents resending of successful pages and reduces the call time of the retries.

For example, a 10-page fax is sent, and it fails while sending page 7. On a retry,
the fax server will send page 1, then pages 7 through 10. If it fails again on
page 9, the fax server will send page 1, then pages 9 through 10.

2.6.1.3

Retry Interval

“Busy” errors are retried after 60 seconds. All other retryable errors are retried
after 15 seconds. These values can be customized with the

busy_call_send_retry_seconds

and

send_retry_seconds

respectively, see

4.2.1.1 ICANFax Global

.

2.6.1.4

Which Errors are Retried

In general, all normal “call progress” errors are retryable, such as “busy” and
“no answer.” Also all transmission errors are retryable.

The exact error codes that are retried are driver-specific. See the appropriate
section in

4.1) Error Code Reference

for a list of all error codes and whether they

are retryable.
