Fax Machine with Its Own Fax Line
In this setup, which is good for heavy fax traffic, line B is the fax line, the number
of which is published as the fax number (figure 6-1). (This fax line can also be
used by other phones when all other lines are busy.) The fax machine is con-
nected to its own extension (extension X).

Figure 6-1 Fax Machine with Its Own Line
To set up:
1.
Set the Line Ringing for line B on extension X to “ring.”
2.
Set Line Ringing for all other lines on extension X to “no ring.”
3.
Set the Line Ringing for line B on all other extensions to “no ring.”
4.
Set the Automatic Line Selection for extension X so that line B is the first
line in the selection sequence. (When the fax machine makes a call, it
automatically connects to the fax line.)
5.
Set the Automatic Line Select for all other extensions so that line B is the
last line in the select sequence. That way, the fax line is used for outgoing
calls only when all other lines are busy.
See instructions for Line Ringing on p. 3-4 and Automatic Line Selection on
p. 3-3.
To use: All fax calls that come in on the fax line are automatically answered by
the fax machine. When you send a fax, the fax line is automatically selected
when you lift the handset on the fax machine. If a fax call comes in on a line
other than the fax line, you can transfer the call to the fax extension (see in this
section, “Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine,” p. 6-6).
