Description
The Fax Extension feature provides special treatment for single-line ports (ports
on 012 or 016 modules) when used with a facsimile machine or fax modem. This
special treatment disables those features normally provided to single-line ports
but not suitable for fax machines, such as:
Distinctive ringing
Call Waiting
Transfer, Hold, and Conference
In addition to the above, the Fax Extension feature also provides the ability to
notify certain extensions when a fax is received by turning on the Message LED
(fax message-waiting extension).
The Fax Message Threshold setting is the length of time (0–30 seconds) before
the system assumes that a fax has arrived. When a fax extension answers a call,
the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System waits until the fax message
threshold is exceeded and then sends a message-waiting indication to the
designated message-waiting extensions(s). If the message-waiting telephone has
