How Does FaxAbility Work? 7
Your telephone number will have the standard
ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new
number will have a ring pattern of long,
silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is
On
, you
will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls
on the fax machine. Extension telephones will
ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes
the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax
machine will answer and automatically receive
the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the
extension telephones and the fax machine
continue to ring. The fax machine always
listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so
do not pick up the telephone during that time.
You will quickly learn to recognize the ring
pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to
answer that number. Either you or a telephone
answering device can answer the main
number(s).
After you have set the FaxAbility feature to
On, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the call yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to the other
mode while the FaxAbility is set to on.
