Notes on the FXS port in Telephony / Fax mode
If you connect a multifunction device (fax/telephone) to the FAX port, you must
note the following:
uFor incoming calls, the phone number of the caller is not displayed.
uIf the answering machine takes a call on the device's receive connection, it con-
tinues to ring.
uIf a receive connection is only assigned to the fax machine/phone, then calls to
the corresponding number will not be entered in the call lists (it is not possible
to delete the entries from the base or a handset).
uTo call an internal subscriber or to make an internal consultation call during an
external call enter an „R“ in front of the corresponding internal number.
uOther internal functions such as "internal transfer" are not supported.
uFor external calls, you cannot use your provider's features/network services (e.g.
external consultation call, three-party conferences, display external waiting
calls).
Notes on the FXS port in Doorline mode
uIf one of the participants of the internal call is a doorline device, an incoming
external or internal call is not signalled (as call waiting) to any of the participants.
If no other handset can present the call, the caller hears the busy tone.
uAn incoming call from the doorline device during an internal or external call is
presented as regular internal call waiting. Before you can accept the call from the
doorline device you have to end the external/internal call.
