In a communication apparatus corresponding to a voice-band analog communication path and a network communication path, high-speed and high-reliability data communication is achieved by selecting the appropriate communication path without any complicated user operation. The communication apparatus which performs IP communication and analog communication through an ADSL gateway obtains a communication partner IP address from an SIP proxy when a communication partner telephone number corresponds to a VoIP network, and transmits/receives communication data to/from the communication partner on an IP network based on a file transmission/reception protocol such as FTP, HTTP, or the like. The communication apparatus performs analog facsimile communication on a line switching network when the communication partner telephone number does not correspond to the VoIP network, and performs the analog facsimile communication when the communication partner corresponds to the VoIP network but does not have any digital communication means.
A communication apparatus including a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol, the apparatus comprising:
A control method performed by a communication apparatus that includes a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol and an Internet Protocol (IP) communication unit configured to communicate image data to a communication partner station via an IP network using a file transmission protocol that is one of a plurality of predetermined file transmission protocols, the control method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program that, when executed, causes a communication apparatus to perform a control method, wherein the communication apparatus includes a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol and an Internet Protocol (IP) communication unit configured to communicate image data to a communication partner station via an IP network using a file transmission protocol, the control method comprising:
A communication apparatus including a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol, the apparatus comprising:
A control method performed by a communication apparatus that includes a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol and an Internet Protocol (IP) communication unit configured to communicate image data to a communication partner station via an IP network using a file transmission protocol that is one of a plurality of predetermined file transmission protocols, the control method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program that, when executed, causes a communication apparatus to perform a control method, wherein the communication apparatus includes a facsimile communication unit configured to communicate using a facsimile protocol and an Internet Protocol (IP) communication unit configured to communicate image data to a communication partner station via an IP network using a file transmission protocol, the control method comprising:
