Enabling Fax Features - Siemens Hicom Office PhoneMail Installation And System Administrator's Manual

Plug the other end of the second modular cable into any digital station connector lo-
5.
cated on the same Hicom digital card to which you connected the first modular cable
6. Turn on the Office PhoneMail system by re-inserting the power cord.
The status indicator will begin to blink on and off in the Cadence 1 pattern described
in Appendix E, "Status Indicator Cadences." It will continue to blink at this rate until
initialization is complete, and will then turn to a flicker state, indicating that Office
PhoneMail is operating normally.
Expect initialization to take between three and five minutes; Office PhoneMail uses
this time to initialize or check all of its configuration and mailbox data tables, so the
precise length of this period will vary depending on your system's exact configura-
tion.
Caution
!
In the process of self-checking, Office PhoneMail always looks for the presence of a
card. If a new card is found, Office PhoneMail will initialize the card. If a card is in-
serted that has previously been initialized on another system — or if the card insert-
ed is not the one most recently installed on the system — Office PhoneMail will re-
initialize the card, erasing all information on the card and wiping out all reference to
the most recently used card.

Enabling Fax Features

The standard Office PhoneMail unit supports up to two fax extensions; once you have defined
these extensions, Office PhoneMail will automatically detect and transfer incoming fax calls to
these fax machines. No other fax features are provided by the standard Office PhoneMail sys-
tem.
You can purchase an optional fax enabling expansion card, which adds the following fax fea-
tures:
Storage of fax messages (with or without voice introduction) in subscriber mailboxes (refer
to Section 6.8, "Enabling Fax Overflow Mailbox(es)", on page 6-10 for an explanation of lim-
its on fax storage capacity)
Retrieval (printing) of fax messages from subscriber mailboxes to any fax destination spec-
ified by the subscriber
Sending or forwarding of fax messages from one subscriber's mailbox to another, or to all
mailboxes on the system
Fax-on-demand mailboxes, allowing callers to route themselves to up to commonly-re-
quested documentation (such as sales brochures or order forms) and to direct Office Pho-
neMail to fax that information to a specified phone number
