Telstra FaxStream™ Duet service (Australia only)
In Australia, Telstra offers the FaxStream™ Duet capability. This service allows you to assign two
numbers to your line: one for fax and one for telephone. When the fax number is called, the network
sends a specific ring tone which your machine recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call.
If the telephone number is called, a different ring tone is sent out from the network so that the call
is handled as a voice call. This means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.
• Triple ring (short-short-short) for fax receiving. Three short rings, at regular intervals.
• Any ring except triple ring (depending on your switchboard) for telephone conversation.
Contact Telstra for connection information.

over a normal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the machine will respond slightly
