Set fax reception
The built-in fax switch separates fax transmissions
from telephone calls. This means for example
that the machine can receive faxes silently (with-
out ringing signals) so you are not disturbed. The
fax switch also monitors other connected devices.

2 Enter the number of ringing signals with
/ after which the faxswitch should accept

high (see points 2 and 5). Set both ringing
signal numbers to values lower than fi ve.
If you are using other devices apart from
the multifunctional machine (telephones,
answering machines), which are not con-
nected by serial links, the ringing pattern
may change as follows: Other devices ring
as often as set under FAX RINGS. Your
cordless handset will ring as often as set
under TOTAL RINGS.
Special settings
Silent fax reception
To receive faxes immediately, set the number of
fax rings to 0 (zero). Your cordless handset
will ring with a short delay because the fax switch
has to check whether a fax is to be received.
Completely silent operation
If, for example, you do not wish to be disturbed
by calls or faxes arriving at night, you may set the
number of both ringing signals (TOTAL RINGS
and FAX RINGS) to 0. In this setting your ma-
chine will switch immediately to fax reception

and the cordless handset will not ring for incom-
ing calls (the caller hears a whistling tone).
Total rings 5
Manual fax reception
If you select MANUAL RECEPTION then the fax
will not be received automatically by your multi-
functional machine, except you activate the fax
reception by pressing Y (on the cordless hand-
set: *5). This may be sensible for example, if
you wish to receive your faxes by modem at your
computer.
External answering
machine
Connect your answering machine as described in
chapter Installation / Additional devices.
To provide for the optimum performance of an
external answering machine, set this device to
ring once or twice. To avoid the automatic ac-
ceptance of calls by the faxswitch, you must set
FAX RINGS and TOTAL RINGS to a value at
least two ringing signals higher than the setting
of the external answering machine.
If you switch off the external answering machine,
calls are accepted by the faxswitch (see Set fax
reception).
Settings example:

v In this setting you cannot be reached by
phone. You can only receive faxes. No
messages will be recorded on your exter-
nal answering machine.
