Fax Switch
The active fax switch allows you to use and control addi-
tional devices (e.g. external answering machines or tele-
phones) that are connected to the same telephone line
as your multifunction machine. The fax switch checks
whether an incoming call is a fax transmission or a call,
independently forwards the call to the respective device
and determines the ringing behaviour of the additional
devices. While the multifunction machine is checking
the call, it continues to ring.
With the modes S (day) and M (night), you can speci-
fy how often your multifunction machine should ring
in the respective mode before it picks up and receives
faxes (e.g. you can receive faxes silently (= without ring)
to avoid being disturbed).
With activated timer function U, your multifunction
machine automatically switches between modes
S (day) and M (night).
Setting SM Modes
With the following functions, you can set the number
and volume of rings for the modes S (day) and
M (night).
