TAD Operation with a Fax Machine/Fax Modem
When the TAD answers a call, the AFX-300 listens during the
outgoing message for either fax alert tones or touch-tone com-
mands.
If the AFX-300 detects fax alert tones, it automatically dis-
connects the TAD and directs the call to your fax machine/fax
modem.
If the AFX-300 detects a preset sequence of touch-tone
commands, it either switches the call directly to your fax ma-
chine/fax modem or data modem, or is set to accept further
commands (see “Switching Fax Calls Manually” on Page 24
and “Special Features” on Page 26).
If the call is a voice call, the TAD records the caller’s mes-
sage as usual.
Notes:
• If the touch-tone sequence detected by the AFX-300
does not match one of its preset sequences, the TAD
simply records the touch-tone sounds.
• If no fax alert or touch-tones are detected and the caller
is silent, the TAD records the silence and/or hangs up.
