Fax Extension for MSN (081)
After the detection of a fax signal, the Fax/DID Module can transfer a call to a precon-
figured MSN number. The DID Mode does not need to be configured for this feature.
Fax/DID Release after a Timeout (094)
When a Fax/DID Module is answering four simultaneous calls (or 2 calls for the Hi-
Path 1120), a fifth call will hear a ring signal generated by the local carrier, which
means that the HiPath 1100 has not answered the call yet. If the timeout specified
for this feature is shorter than the local carrier's timeout, the call can be routed in two
different ways, depending whether the PABX received it over an analog or a digital
line:
In the case of an external analog line, the PABX must bypass the Fax/DID module
●
and forward the call to an analog line attendant (in the event that there is no at-
tendant, the call is forwarded to an overflow extension). Of course, if a channel
becomes available in the meantime, the call will be answered as usual and the
timeout will be ignored.
However, if the time specified for this setting is longer than the local carrier's
timeout (1.5 minute for Brazil), the call will be disconnected by the local carrier
before the PABX can forward it to an attendant.
In the case of an external digital line (CAS or ISDN) the PABX sends a "discon-
●
nect" signal to the line upon receiving the call. This means that the time specified
for this setting is ignored in the case of digital lines. When the Fax/DID module
is busy answering four simultaneous calls (2 calls, for a HiPath 1120), the exter-
nal user hears a busy signal.
When the Fax/DID module is busy answering calls, it means that it is playing one of
the 12 programmed messages or waiting for the user to press a key (in the case of
a DID). If the Fax/DID module has answered a call and forwarded it to an extension
(the call is ringing somewhere), that call will no longer considered one of the four
calls that is being answered by the Fax/DID module keeping it busy. In summary,
once the Fax/DID module has forwarded a call to an extension, the channel is avail-
able for another call.
