5.3 Faxing (optional)
If you would like to use your Fonality Phone System for faxing, there are a couple of important
points you need to know:
1.
In order to fax, you must have an Analog card
a.
T1/PRI card
b.
Analog card with
GREEN
lighted ports (when powered)
2.
You must specify in the Options
cards page which analog ports are ‘fax’ ports.
3.
Each fax machine must be configured on your Fonality Phone System as an extension.
4.
You must configure ‘go to submenu/extension by number dialed’ to point your fax number
at your fax port via the appropriate extension.
Fax ports will light up green on the back of your Fonality Phone System. Do not connect any
other type of analog device to green ports.
Reliable faxing requires a very efficient timing source. Your Fonality Phone System gets internal
timing from the T1/PRI card. The analog card installed for faxing has been specially configured to
connect to the T1/PRI card via a jumper cable. For this reason, the T1/PRI card must be installed in
the first PCI/PCIe slot and the analog card installed in the second PCI/PCIe slot. Fax ports are
unique and cannot be configured as any other type of port (e.g. analog phone or overhead paging
system).
