PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use
When the start button on a fax machine is pressed, the fax machine sets up to send a fax. The
sending fax machine sends a special tone called a calling tone or CNG tone. This tone is sent until
the call is answered. If another fax machine answers, the appropriate signals are sent back to the
calling fax machine to send the fax transmission.
If you are using this feature on a T1 line with Direct Inward Dialing (DID), set your
fax machine to answer in less than four rings.
When an incoming call is answered by PVM, PMVS, PARTNER MAIL, or ASA/DXD, the system
determines if the incoming call is a fax. If the system is set up to automatically route incoming fax
calls to fax machine(s), it automatically transfers the call to Hunt Group 8.
If your voice messaging system is PARTNER Messaging and you use the Fax CNG
Detection feature, do not program PARTNER Messaging to assign a fax extension to
an Automated Attendant. For more information, see the PARTNER Messaging
System Manager's Quick Reference.
Considerations
To use Fax CNG Detection, you must have a voice messaging system or ASA/DXD. You must
also have your system configured in one of these ways:
— PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 as a stand-alone module.
— T1 module in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in center slot; any modules in remaining
slots.
— 1600 DSL module in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in center slot; any modules in
remaining slots.
— 012E/362EC module in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in center slot; any modules in
remaining slots.
— 308EC Release 3.0 or later/200/206/400 module in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in
center slot; any modules in remaining slots.
— 308EC module prior to Release 3.0 in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in center slot; at
least one 308EC Release 3.0 or later in remaining slots.
— 308EC module prior to Release 3.0 in slot 1; PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 in center slot; at
least one 308EC/012E/362EC in remaining slots.
When lines appear on a fax extension, make sure that the fax machine does not automatically
answer outside calls on these lines. There are three ways you can do this:
— Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
— Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either delayed ring or
no ring.
— Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines from the fax extension (this is
the recommended way).
Incoming fax detection is activated automatically by assigning extensions to Hunt Group 8.
If a PARTNER MAIL system is connected to the system and fax detection is being done via
PARTNER MAIL, no extensions should be assigned to Hunt Group 8.
