Adjusting the MultiPASS L90 for Different Types of
Answering Machines
Some answering machines listen for a pause and disconnect the line after a
certain period of silence. When used with an answering machine, your unit also
listens for a pause to determine if a fax is being received.
If your answering machine disconnects before the unit has a chance to switch to
receive mode, the caller may not be able to send a fax on the same call.
If you experience this problem, adjust the ANS/FAX SW TIME setting in the
RECEIVE (RX) SETUP, (
Q
p. A-9). Adjust so that the required time for the
unit to switch occurs prior to the time when your answering machine disconnects
automatically.
