10. Change the number of rings to wait on the product to the maximum number of
rings supported by your product. (The maximum number of rings varies by
country/region.)
11. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
12. Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings
you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The product monitors the call
during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the
product will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the
product stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice
message.
