Setting Up Fax/Tel Mode
You can control precisely how your MultiPASS C70 handles incoming
calls by adjusting the settings described below.
n
The options described below can also be set from the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager. (
1 MultiPASS Suite Software User’s Guide)
❏
RING START TIME
When a call comes in, the unit checks to see if it is a person wishing
to speak to you or a fax machine trying to send a document. If your
unit does not have enough time to detect the fax tone, it assumes the
call is from a telephone. Use the
RING START TIME
setting to
increase the time the unit takes to check whether a call is from a fax
machine or a telephone. You can select a time between 0 and 30
seconds. The default setting is eight seconds.
❏
F/T RING TIME
When your unit is set to receive both fax and telephone calls
automatically, it rings to alert you to pick up the handset or the
handset of the telephone or extension phone if the call is from a
person. If you do not pick up the handset within a certain amount of
time, the unit stops ringing. Use this option to change the length of
time the unit rings, from 10 to 60 seconds. The default setting is 22
seconds.
❏
DEFAULT ACTION
Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG
tone that warns the receiving fax machine that a fax is coming). In
those cases the unit may think that the call coming in is a voice call
and rings to alert you of the call (the amount of time it is going to
ring is determined by the
F/T RING TIME
setting above). If you do
not answer the call, one of two things can happen:
1. If you set the
DEFAULT ACTION
setting to
RECEIVE
, the unit
will switch to fax receive mode automatically at that point and
start to receive the document. If no document comes in, it
disconnects the call after approximately 55 seconds. The default
setting is
RECEIVE
.
2. If you set the
DEFAULT ACTION
to
DISCONNECT
, the unit will
disconnect the telephone call immediately freeing up your
telephone line at this point.
