Using the Fax Management Feature 9
On any system telephone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax Management
button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine is in use, available, or not
answering (see Ta ble 9-1). You can also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the
fax machine with a single touch.
Programming for Fax Management Button 9
To program a Fax Management button:
1. Assign the fax machine extension by using Fax Machine Extensions (#601).
2. Program the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button (see “Auto Dialing” on
page 8-5).
Fax CNG Detection (#505, Group 8)—Release 3.0 or
Later 9
Use this feature to allow voice calls and fax calls to be received on the same line, which eliminates
the need for a dedicated fax line.
When the start button on a fax machine is pressed, the fax machine sets up to send a fax. The
sending fax machine sends a special tone called a calling tone or CNG tone. This tone is sent until
the call is answered. If another fax machine answers, the appropriate signals are sent back to the
calling fax machine to send the fax transmission.

of paper, refill the paper. The light clears the next time the machine
transmits or receives a call. If the machine takes longer than four rings to
answer, the light shows fax trouble; when the machine does answer, the
light changes to fax busy (red steady).

fax machine to answer in less than four rings.
