Aastra 9617 Online User's Manual page 388

You must subscribe to your telephone company for
Distinctive Ringing on line 2. The telephone company
will then provide you with an additional telephone
number for line 2 which will ring with a slightly dif-
ferent ring tone. (The name of the Distinctive Ringing
service varies from area to area. Contact your tele-
phone company for more information.) This addi-
tional telephone number is your fax number.
You must turn on the Fax Switch feature. For more
information, refer to
page 390.
The Fax Switch peripheral should be set to answer
after three or more rings.
Note: Do not subscribe to Call Waiting on Line 2 if you
are using the Fax Switch feature. If Line 2 of your 9617
telephone has Call Waiting enabled, your Fax Switch
peripheral may lose data or be disconnected if you get a
Call Waiting caller on line 2.
How it works
The first ring of an incoming call on line 2 rings at both
the 9617 telephone and the Fax Switch peripheral. The
9617 telephone uses this ring to identify which device the
call is intended for.
If it is a normal ring, the call is routed to the 9617 and the
Fax Switch peripheral stops ringing.
If it is a distinctive ring, the call is routed to the Fax Switch
peripheral and the 9617 stops ringing.
