What is the Advantage of using
®
Telstra FaxStream
®
Using Telstra FaxStream
most efficient way to receive both fax and
telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all phones (extension
and external) and the fax machine will ring to
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,
the fax machine will answer automatically
without ringing, whereas the extension and
external phones will ring twice with a
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more
efficient way of operating a Fax machine with
an extension phone as you do not have to use
the remote activation codes. It gives you two
independent numbers without the higher cost
of a second line.
