Incoming Calls Answer
By default the card is set to answer all calls as voice
calls. To receive a fax or data call, you must set this
field accordingly before the call is answered. This
means that anyone wanting to send a fax, or
establish a data connection with the card must
notify you in advance so that you can change this
field before the call is made.
If you select “next call as Fax” or “next call as Data”,
the card maintains the setting for one call, or until
the PCS Connection Manager Software is restarted.
If you select “all calls as Fax” or “all calls as Data”,
the card maintains the setting until you select
another option.

outgoing and incoming calls in the Call Log. (The
Call Log is displayed when you select
