Avoiding Conflict Between Fax and Data
Communications
When you are using your data modem for communications, the
MultiPASS 1000 recognizes that the line is busy and does not
attempt to use the line to start fax communication. However, when
the MultiPASS 1000 is in a fax communication, the data modem
cannot recognize that the line is being used by the MultiPASS 1000.
Before starting data communication with your modem, you must
check the LCD display on the MultiPASS 1000 to see if it is in the
standby mode. Only start data communications when the
MultiPASS 1000 is in standby mode.
N
Only share the phone line attached to the MultiPASS 1000 with
your data modem if you will use the modem to initiate calls. If you
would like to have others access your computer by calling you, or
if you use your modem very frequently, you will need a dedicated
telephone line for your modem.
