SAME NUMBER FAX RECEPTION
Faxability Switch 2 will also allow you to redirect incoming Fax calls
sent to your normal number, to your Fax machine or Fax device.
If you have been sharing your normal number with your Fax Machine in
the past, then you may occasionally receive Fax Calls on your main
number .
If you require this facility, please set Dip Switch 1 to the ON position
and refer to the following information:
FAX RECEPTION WHEN OFFICE IS ATTENDED
Answer all incoming calls as normal, on any telephone connected to
your line. If the incoming call is a Fax Call, you will hear a 'beep'
(known as a Fax Calling tone or CNG tone) shortly after you answer.
This Fax Call can be transferred to your Fax Machine, by hanging up
immediately. Providing you hang up this call within 6 seconds of
answering, Faxability Switch 2 will redirect this call to your Fax Device.
Note - It will do this regardless of whether the call is from a Fax or not
and regardless of which telephone on your line as been answered. It
will even work with cordless telephones. However if you do not hang up
in time, the call will be lost and you will need to wait until it calls back.
The 6 second period will provide you with enough time to determine if
the call is a Fax, and then to hang up. It is also short enough to prevent
false switching to your Fax Device whenever you have a very short
voice call. However if for any reason you do hang up on an incoming call
voice call within 6 seconds of answering the call, then the call will be
redirected and your line will be engaged for approximately 30 seconds
while your Fax Device has the call.
Other than the inconvenience of having to wait, it will not cause any
problem with your FAX Device.
If SW1 is set to ON - The 6 second hang-up timer is ENABLED
If SW1 is set to OFF - The 6 second hang-up timer is NOT REQUIRED
