How Does FaxAbility Work?

Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, 
long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, 
silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is 

On

, you will not hear the first 

ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will 
ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all 
ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically 
receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension 
phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine 
always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up 
the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the 
ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that 
number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the 
main number(s).

After you have set the FaxAbility feature to 

On

, the receive mode 

is set to 

Manual

 automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice 

Mail set up on the FaxAbility number, Manual mode means you 
must answer all the call yourself. You can not change the 
receive mode to the other mode while the FaxAbility is set to on.

All extension phones ring,
