TROUBLE SHOOTING
FAX DEVICE WILL NOT DIAL
FaxSwitch 2 in its default configuration is programmed to remove your Fax
Device from the telephone line and only connect your Fax Device to the
telephone line when you are sending or receiving a Fax Transmission.
By doing so, FaxSwitch 2 can ENSURE that your Fax Device will NEVER
INTERFERE with an incoming or outgoing telephone call.
A small number of Fax Devices have recently introduced a new ‘ Line In
Use’ facility which is designed to prevent Barge-In by your Fax when a
telephone call is taking place. This would normally prevent your Fax
Machine from Dialing Out from a telephone line switch.
Should your Fax Device NOT DIAL out when connected to FaxSwitch 2 ,
then you should set Dip Switch 2 to the ON position. When Dip Switch 2 is
set to the ON position,
FaxSwitch 2 will leave your Fax Device connected
to your telephone line when your line is not in use.
It will then remove it from the telephone line whenever you pick up a
telephone to make an outgoing call or whenever you receive an incoming
call.
If you require Dip Switch 2 to be set to the ON position, you MUST set your
Fax Device to answer on TWO or MORE RINGS. This will ensure that your
Fax Device does not interfere with incoming telephone calls. Providing you
do so, this setting will not interfere with your Line Sharing requirements.
