Step by Step
Fax/DID Module
HiPath 1100 systems can be equipped with an optional
Fax/DID Module (direct dialing to extensions) for
answering external calls automatically, playing
announcements and detecting fax signals. A caller can
dial any extension or enter any digit configured in the
Answering Menu and be transferred to another exten-
sion or group.
For HiPath 1120 systems this module also provides a
RTC (Real-Time Clock) feature for displaying the time on
system telephones.
The module has three modes of operation: Fax, DID,
and Fax/DID. If a S
0
or TME1 module is also installed, a
fourth mode of operation is available: a DID for digital
lines.
Announcements stored in this module can be
programmed as a Second Attendant for external calls or
as a forwarding destination for an extension (see Call
Forwarding in the Manual do Usuário).
Fax Mode
In this mode of operation the module detects only fax
signals. A greeting announcement is played for all
incoming external calls. If the caller wants to send a fax,
the transmission can be started at the end of the
announcement. If no fax signal is detected within 10
seconds of the greeting announcement, a second
announcement will be played and the call will be trans-
ferred to an Attendant.
DID Mode
In this mode of operation the module detects exten-
sions or digits dialed and then transfers the call accord-
ingly. When an external call is answered, a greeting
announcement is played to guide the caller. An example
of a recorded announcement would be: "You have
reached Siemens. Dial the extension number you would
like to reach 22 for Sales Department or 23 for Technical
Support." If no valid MF signal is detected within 10
seconds of the greeting announcement, a second
announcement will be played and the call will be trans-
ferred to an Attendant.
