FaxAbility

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom
that allows you to have an additional number
on one telephone line, with its own distinctive
ring pattern. This way, when you get an
incoming call, you can identify the number
being called by its ring.
How Will the Fax Machine Treat All
Other Numbers?
FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine
will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary)
number. When a call comes in to your main
7
number, all the telephones will ring. You can
set an external answering device (TAD) to
answer calls on the other number(s). (See the
chart in the following page.)
What is the Advantage of Using the
FaxAbility Function?
Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to
receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. It is much easier for your callers
who dial manually. The fax machine will
answer with receiving tones so they will not
have to press an activation code. And the
people who call to talk on your main number
will not have to talk to your fax machine.
Basically, it gives you two independent
numbers without the higher cost of a second
line.
