the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, 
followed by a pause, repeated, while the new 
fax number will have a different ring pattern of 
three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular 
intervals.

®

 is

 and you 

receive a voice call all extension and external 
phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. 
The fax machine will ring on the third ring with 
a standard ring pattern. All external and the 
extension phones will continue to ring, until 
you or a telephone answering device can 
answer the voice number.

When FaxStream

 and you 

receive a fax call on the Duet
