TAD Operation with a Fax Machine/Fax Modem and a Data Modem
When the TAD answers a call, the AFX-300 listens during the first 20 seconds of the outgoing message for either fax alert tones or touch-tone commands.
If the AFX-300 detects fax alert tones, it automatically dis- connects the TAD and directs the call to your fax machine/fax modem.
If the AFX-300 detects a preset sequence of touch-tone
commands, it either switches the call directly to your fax ma- chine/fax modem or data modem, or is set to accept further commands (see “Switching Fax Calls Manually” on Page 24 and “Special Features” on Page 26).
If the call is a voice call, the caller must enter a touch-tone command within 20 seconds after the TAD answers to have the call directed to the TAD so it can record the caller’s mes- sage as usual.
If no fax alert or touch-tones are detected within 20 sec- onds after the TAD answers, the AFX-300 automatically
switches the call to your data modem.
