An answering
machine and a shared
voice and fax line.
Enabled
The EasyShare AiO will not automatically answer calls.
Instead, the answering machine will answer the call and
the EasyShare AiO will monitor the line. If the
EasyShare AiO detects fax tones, the EasyShare AiO
will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the
EasyShare AiO ignores the call.
This is the recommended default setting if you have an
answering machine. Make sure the answering machine
is set up properly with the EasyShare AiO.
Also, set your EasyShare AiO to answer the phone after
the answering machine. The number of rings to answer
for the EasyShare AiO should be greater than the
number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
You want the answering machine to answer before your
EasyShare AiO.
