Fax Machine Line Saver - AT&T PARTNER Installation And Use Manual

Fax Machine Line Saver

If you do not use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside
line, you can put the machine on its own extension (shown in Figure 4-2). With
this setup, you must transfer calls to the machine manually.

To Use
When a person at a system extension (for example, extension Y) answers a call
and hears a fax machine signaling on the other end, the person can transfer the
call to extension X—the fax extension. (See "Transferring a Call to the Fax
Machine" earlier in this chapter.)
To send a fax transmission with this setup, simply lift the handset on the fax
machine—an outside line will be selected automatically.
To Set Up
1. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
2.
Set Line Ringing for all lines on extension X to No Ring.
3.
Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to the order in which you want
the fax machine to select outside lines.
