Fax And Telephone Combination - AT&T PARTNER Installation And Use Manual

Fax and Telephone Combination

If you want to connect a fax machine but cannot spare an extra extension, or if
your fax machine does not have a built-in telephone, you can connect a
telephone and a fax machine to a single extension (Figure 4-3). (See
"Combination Extensions" in Appendix C for information on connecting two
devices on one extension.)

To Use
When anyone in the system hears a fax call coming in, they can transfer the call
to extension X, the fax extension. If the fax machine is not set up to
automatically answer a call, you must press the fax machine's Start button. (See
"Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine" earlier in this chapter.)
To send a fax, simply lift the handset on the fax machine. Or, if your fax
machine does not have a built-in telephone, use the phone to dial the call. An
outside line will be selected automatically.
When the fax machine is idle, you can use the phone at the extension to make or
receive calls.
To Set Up
1.
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
2. Set Line Ringing and Automatic Line Selection for all lines at extension X
as desired. The fax machine will use the same settings as the phone.
3.
Set up the fax machine to answer calls automatically. Refer to the fax
machine's documentation for instructions.
