8.1 Auto Answer
CimFAX fax server supports auto answer mode. If the administrator set the server to answer incoming
call after 2 (or less) rings (See 5.4 Fax Options), when there’s an incoming fax call, the server will play
voice to auto answer after two rings: Hello, this is auto fax system. Please dial the extension number or
press Start/Initial button. If the caller presses tart/Initial button, the server will receive and route the fax
to public inbox which is only accessible to the distributor at this time. if the caller presses extension
number like “601”, the server will generate fax signal, receive the fax and route it to the extension
number user. Other users including the administrator cannot see the fax.
Note: fax extension number and users are assigned by the administrator on the server. If you have a
PBX in your office, please note that the fax extension number on CimFAX server is not the telephone
extension number of yours. However, the administrator can set the telephone extension number as the
respective user’s fax number in case of confusion.
8.2 Manual Answer
The server also supports manual answer mode which helps a lot when the caller doesn’t know the
extension number. If the administrator set the server to answer incoming call after 6 (or more) rings (See
5.4 Fax Options) and connect a telephone to the server through the PHONE port, when there’s an
incoming fax call, the receptor can talk with the caller and press * and the extension number such as
“*601”. Then the server will generate signal to receive fax and route the fax to the recipient.
