on the device's receive connection, it
continues to ring.
u

Connecting/using other devices
You do not explicitly have to register the fax
machine to the base. It is automatically "reg-
istered", once you activate the FAX port on
¢
the base ( page 140, default setting is
"off").
Once the FAX port is switched on, the fax
machine is added to the list of internal par-
ties with the internal name INT 8.
The fax machine is assigned all of the base's
ISDN numbers as receive connections.
The first number from the configuration is
assigned as a send connection. You can
change the assignment
Please note
If a number is only assigned to the fax
machine as a receive connection, then
calls to this number will not be entered in
the call lists (it is not possible to read the
entries from the base or a handset).
