VERSA-LINK ATX-250
The CALL OPTI-MIZER feature will count the number of times the telephone (attached to
DEVICE 1
) rings, after an incoming call has been screened for Auto-dial FAX tones and
device codes . If the phone is not answered in 5 rings (this number is selectable - see section
6 .2), your ATX-250 will assume that the office is unattended, and that this call and all future
calls should go to the FAX .
Your ATX-250 will immediately begin ringing this call to the FAX . (If your FAX has adjustable
ring selection, set it to answer on the earliest possible ring) .
At this time, your ATX-250 begins to operate in NIGHT FUNCTION . Now, incoming calls will
ring your telephone system only 2 times (this number is selectable - see section 6 .2), and
then immediately ring the FAX . This will allow future incoming calls to go to the FAX sooner,
with less chance of the caller hanging up before the FAX answers .
NIGHT FUNCTION is de-activated when you answer an incoming telephone call on this line
within 2 rings or make an outgoing call on this line . Your ATX-250 will now operate in normal
daytime function . This method of determining day/night/weekend is much simpler than using
a clock or calendar which must continually be updated .
In the above example, a telephone system was connected to
DEVICE 1
, and a FAX to
DE-
VICE 2
. Of course, other devices may be substituted to fit your application .
