Using Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is the
most efficient way to receive both fax and
telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all telephones (extension
and external) and the fax machine will ring to
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,
the fax machine will answer automatically
without ringing, whereas the extension and
external telephones will ring twice with a
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more
efficient way of operating a Fax machine with
an extension telephone as you do not have to
use the remote activation codes. It gives you
two independent numbers without the higher
cost of a second line.
