How Does FaxAbility Work?

7

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).

 

Note

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.

Caller ID

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows 
the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s 
phone number and name if available as the 
telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your 
calls. You can respond quickly to calls you 
missed, because Caller IDs are received and 
stored in your machine memory.

Note

To get the Caller ID Service, apply for the 
Caller ID service at your local telephone 
company, if available.
