How Does FaxAbility Work? 6
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 phones 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 phones
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 phone
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.
How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON 6
