OPERATING PROCEDURE
The operation of your EXISTING TELEPHONE NUMBER will remain
unchanged.
When your NEW FAX NUMBER is called, your telephone exchange will
send a NEW RING PATTERN down your line, which is different to your
normal ring pattern.
This new DISTINCTIVE RING pattern will be detected by your DUET
SWITCH 1 device at the completion of the first ring.
DUET SWITCH 1 will then allow the incoming Fax call to connect your
FAX DEVICE, so that it can answer the incoming Fax call.
Your unit has been programmed so that the first incoming ring for all
incoming calls does not pass through and ring any telephone(s) connected
to the PRIMARY NUMBER PORT of DUET SWITCH 1
By doing so, any or all telephones connected to the PRIMARY NUMBER
PORT of your device will not ring whenever a Facsimile Transmission is
being received.
Your extension telephones (telephones in other rooms) which are not
connected to DUET SWITCH 1 will ring until your FAX DEVICE has
answered.
If you wish to receive Fax transmissions without your ‘extension
telephones’ ringing, they can be wired so that they all connect direct to
the PRIMARY NUMBER PORT of your device.
This procedure should be carried out by an ACA approved telephone
cabling technician. Please refer to your Yellow Pages section ‘Telephones
& Systems - Installation &/or Maintenance’ to contact a telephone
technician.
