FaxAbility 7

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom

that allows you to have an additional number

on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring

pattern. This way, when you get an incoming

call, you can identify the number being called

by its ring.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All

Other Numbers?

7

FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine

will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary)

number. When a call comes in to your main

number, all the phones will ring. You can set

an external answering device (TAD) to

answer calls on the other number(s).

(See the chart in the following page.)

What is the Advantage of Using the

FaxAbility Function?

7

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to

receive both fax and telephone calls on the

same line. It is much easier for your callers

who dial manually. The fax machine will

answer with receiving tones so they will not

have to press an activation code. And the

people who call to talk on your main number

will not have to talk to your fax machine.

Basically, it gives you two independent

numbers without the higher cost of a second

line.

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 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).

Note

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.
