Automatic fax detection with the auto attendant
An auto attendant can detect incoming fax calls and route them
accordingly. For more information, see 2.2.6.3 Automatic fax detection on
page 53.

service and no listening to ring patterns are required. Incoming phone lines
are shared between all phones and faxes, making better use of your
resources.

attendant cannot detect them.

2.2.6.1 Dedicated fax line

If you have a dedicated fax line or number, your fax machine should be
connected to an extension jack on the same unit as the fax line. Leave this
line directly connected to your fax machine. Connect the remaining
incoming telephone lines to your unit. Incoming telephone lines will be
handled by the unit and your fax will work the way it has always worked.
