■ If there are no touch-tone receivers capable of detecting a CNG tone, the call is treated as an
incoming voice call.
■ It can take up to eight seconds after a call is answered before the system determines that the
incoming call is a fax call. The voice messaging system message should be at least this long
so that the CNG tone can be detected before the message ends and the call can be
transferred.
■ You may use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions with the same
line from joining a fax call at the extension and interrupting it.

Considerations 9
■ If you want to monitor fax machine status and make one-touch transfers to the fax machine,
program a Fax Management button (see “Using the Fax Management Feature” on page
9-23).
■ To prevent other extensions from interrupting a fax call, program the fax extension for
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304).
■ Remove voice messaging system mailboxes from extensions before assigning them as fax
extensions.
■ If an automatic fax call comes in on a line covered by PARTNER Messaging or the PARTNER
MAIL system, the Automated Attendant Service of that system can be programmed to
automatically transfer the call to a fax extension or to the extension Hunt Group for the fax
machines (if you have multiple fax machines). For PARTNER Messaging, see the PARTNER
Messaging Installation, Programming, and Troubleshooting Online Guide or the PARTNER
Messaging System Manager’s Quick Reference for instructions. For PARTNER Mail, see the
PARTNER MAIL documentation for instructions.
