Feature Reference 555-670-110
Features
Fax Extension
Considerations and Constraints
A fax extension can send a message-waiting indication, but it cannot be assigned
as a message-waiting receiver for another fax or for a calling group.
If a fax message-waiting indication is deleted by one of the four message-waiting
receivers, the message is deleted from all of the telephones programmed as
message-waiting receivers for the fax.
This feature should not be used for fax machines connected to analog multiline
telephones with a General Purpose Adapter (GPA). In a GPA configuration,
features cannot be assigned to the fax independently of the telephone.
A maximum of 16 fax machines (tip/ring ports) can be assigned the Fax
Extensions feature. Additional fax machines can be installed, but these additional
fax machines cannot use the Fax Extension feature.

If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the Conference feature
cannot be used.
On MLX and ETR display telephones, message-waiting indications
received by a fax message-waiting receiver are identified as FAX. On
MLS and analog multiline telephones, messages are indicated by Call
plus the extension or caller's name.
The type of message indicated does not allow a calling group
message-waiting receiver to distinguish between a message left for the
calling group and a fax or personal message.
The calling group receives fax message-waiting indications directed to
the calling group. The message-waiting receiver cannot distinguish
between messages left for the calling group and fax or personal
messages.
If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the Hold feature cannot
be used.
Return Call is not operable for messages received from a fax machine
and cannot be used to make a call to the fax.
A single-line telephone with a Message LED connected to an MFM can
receive message-waiting indications, but not stutter dial tone.
The Fax Extension feature overrides the distinctive ringing pattern for
transferred calls. When a call is transferred to a fax extension, one long
ring sounds (similar to an inside call), instead of three short rings.
If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the Transfer button
cannot be used.
