Telstra

 FaxStream

®

 Duet

®

 is an enhanced 

Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS) 
offered by Telstra

®

 that allows you to have an 

additional number on one phone line, with its 
own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra

®

 

FaxStream

®

 Duet

®

 is a call handling feature 

that helps users distinguish voice and 
facsimile calls. With FaxStream

®

 Duet

®

incoming calls to a fax number are 
announced by a different, distinctive ring 
signal. Only one call can be answered (or 
made) at any one time and while this call is in 
progress, incoming calls to either number will 
be presented with a busy tone.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, 
allowing you to dedicate one phone number 
just for receiving faxes.

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring 
feature to 

On

, the receive mode is set to 

Manual

 automatically. If you don’t have a 

TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive 
Ring number, 

Manual

 mode means you 

must answer all the voice calls yourself. 
You can not change the receive mode 
from 

Manual

 mode while the Distinctive 

Ring is set to on.

Using Telstra

®

 FaxStream

®

 Duet

®

 is the 

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.
