5-2 Using Auxiliary Equipment
The single fax machine setup (see Figure 5-1) is good for moderate traffic. The
fax machine has its own line (Line A), the number of which is published as the
fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines are
busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).
To use:
The fax machine automatically answers all calls that come in on the fax line. If a
call comes in on another line, you can transfer the call to the fax extension (see
"Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine").
When you pick up the handset to send a fax, the system automatically selects
the fax line.
If you don't use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside
line, you can put the fax on its own extension. With this setup, you must transfer
calls to it manually. Figure 5-2 shows the setup.
To use:
The person at extension X answers a call and hears a fax machine signaling on
the other end. Realizing that a fax call is coming in, this person transfers the
call to extension Y—the fax machine extension. To send a fax transmission in
this setup, simply lift the handset on the fax machine—an outside line will be
automatically selected.
If your business has high volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines,
one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 5-3,
there are two fax machines. Fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive
machine. Line B is the fax line, the number of which is published as the fax
number. If fax 2 doesn't answer line B, fax 1 will.
To use:
When you want to send a fax, just lift the handset of fax 1 and an outside line will
be automatically selected. Incoming fax calls on the fax line are answered
automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in on a line other than line B, you can
transfer the call to fax 2 (see "Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine"). If fax 1
is set for delayed ring on line B, fax 1 can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2
does not answer.
