Preliminary
Fax Sharing the Landline with Tel-Lynx
In this method, both
Tel-Lynx
and the fax machine are attached to your landline.
You must have a separate fax phone number using a service like RingMaster
®
.
Fax calls will have a different ring pattern than normal calls.
Set up
Tel-Lynx
to
ignore the ring pattern
for calls to the fax number, and set up your fax machine to
answer calls with that ring pattern (or to not answer a call for several rings).
Fax Attached to one of Tel-Lynx’s
Inside Lines
In this method, the fax machine is connected to one of
Tel-Lynx
's inside lines
(just like your telephones are).
Set up a user on
Tel-Lynx
with the name "
Fax
"
(case insensitive) and set up the fax user as follows:
Set
Ring Pattern
to two rings
15
,
Set
Ring Mode
to ring only the inside line attached to the fax machine, and
Set
Select Outside Lines
to be the landline only.
Set up your fax machine to only answer a two-ring pattern. When a call from
another fax machine comes in and
Tel-Lynx
hears the fax Tone (beep sound), it
will skip the qualification process and immediately ring the inside line for the fax
machine with the two-ring pattern. When the fax machine answers, it will be
immediately connected to the calling fax machine. In this method, you do not
need a service like Ring Master
®
or a separate phone number for your fax
machine.
When sending a fax,
Tel-Lynx
will bypass the
Auto Create Contact
option (if
enabled) as soon as it hears the fax tone.
Timed Functions
Do-Not-Disturb
Tel-Lynx
uses the Do-Not-Disturb feature to send selected calls to voice mail
without ringing your telephones. There are two ways to set up Do-Not-Disturb:
set a
schedule
or
temporarily override the schedule
. The override feature always
takes precedence over the schedule. If the schedule is not enabled, the override
simply sets a Do-Not-Disturb period.
15
No other
TLC
user should have a two-ring pattern when using this method, as the fax machine will most
likely not distinguish between short and long rings in a given pattern.
