Fax switch
If your fax machine is unable to recognise older
fax machine models, which do not transmit those
signals that are commonly used in today’s tech-
nology, you should advise your callers in your
answering message to press * and 5 followed
by START to commence the fax reception.
If the automatic fax reception is impossible, press
START to manually begin receiving the fax.
If your answering machine provides an “econo-
my function” (e.g. a function which changes the
number of ringing signals as soon as a message
was recorded), you should preferably switch this
function off.
It is possible that the answering machine not
only counts the messages received, but also the
number of fax calls.
Please ensure that the code for starting the fax
reception from other telephones (factory setting
* and 5) is not the same as for remote access
to recorded messages. Where necessary the code
for function 34 may be changed (see Hints and
Tips / Easylink).
If your answering machine accepts the call but
your fax machine does not stop ringing, try and
install your answering machine by serial connec-
tion, for example by connecting it to the same
telephone socket or to the EXT. socket of your
fax machine (see chapter Installation / Addi-
tional devices).
If your answering machine cannot accept calls,
your fax machine will automatically start to re-
ceive faxes after the number of ringing signals set
in TOTAL RINGS has been received.
If your external answering machine records fax
signals, but your fax machine cannot receive any
faxes, check the connection of your external an-
swering machine. Connect the external answering
machine to the same telephone socket or to the
EXT. socket of your fax machine (see chapter
Installation / Additional devices).
