2.2.6 Fax information
TalkSwitch provides you with different options to configure your office for
fax calls. The advantages and disadvantages of each option are described
below, so that you can choose the best solution for your office.
Dedicated fax line
You may already have an incoming dedicated fax line. For more information,
see
2.2.6.1 Dedicated fax line
on page 50.
Advantages
: It is easy to set up and you don’t need to change the way your
fax handles calls.
Disadvantages:
The dedicated fax line cannot be shared with the other
phone devices (i.e. You cannot make an outbound voice call on your fax
line). The dedicated fax line costs money and may not often be used.
Distinctive Ring fax detection
Distinctive ring is a service provided by your phone company. A second
phone number is added to the same physical telephone line. For more
information, see
2.2.6.2 Distinctive ring fax detection
on page 52.
Advantages
: It does not require a second physical line for faxes. More
telephone lines can be added as you grow and you can keep the same fax
arrangement.
