Mode Selection
Description
FAX
Do not use for this configuration.
TEL
To receive faxes manually, press START twice on 
the A1500 or press *9* on the telephone. 
Also use this mode if you wish to receive faxes 
through the computer modem instead of the A1500. 
ANS/FAX
Receives faxes automatically. The answering 
machine will answer the call and the A1500 will 
listen for fax tones. It will intercept the call if fax 
tones are detected. Set the answering machine to 
answer in 1 or less rings. The A1500 will pick up 
after 6 rings. The computer modem should be 
disabled from answering calls. 
DRPD
The A1500 answers the learned ring pattern on 2 
rings. Make sure that the computer modem is set to 
answer after 4 or more rings if it does not recognize 
DRPD patterns. Also make sure that the answering 
machine is set to answer after more rings than both 
the A1500 and computer modem if it does not 
recognize DRPD patterns.
