Most FAX machines have the capability to dial the

receiving FAX number from memory. When the

number is dialed, an identification tone is produced

every 3-1/2 seconds that allows call processing
equipment, like your ATX-300, to identify the call as
originating from a FAX. When auto FAX tone
detection is turned on, your ATX-300 will transfer

these calls to 

DEVICE 2, 

where your FAX machine is

normally connected.

NOTE: Many FAX machines allow both voice and
FAX calls to be dialed manually from their keyboard.

Also, some older FAX machines do not have 

dialing capability. These machines may not always

produce the necessary identification tone for
automatic transfer. Manual dialed FAX calls will ring

through to your telephone system and are easily
transferred to your FAX by dialing 

* 2

It is possible for female voices to produce sounds of

the same pitch as the FAX identification (CNG) tone.

To avoid inadvertant transfers, your ATX-300 only

monitors the initial stage of incoming calls for CNG

tones. Also, in 

SEMI 

mode, your ATX-300 requires

two CNG tones at the proper interval before it
transfers the call automatically.
