LETTING THE AFX-300 ANSWER CALLS
If you did not connect a TAD, or if you turned off the connected TAD or the AFX-300’s TAD jack (see “Special Features” on Page 26), and you do not answer the call in person, the AFX- 300 automatically answers the call after the preset number of rings.
Note: The AFX-300 is preset to answer incoming calls after five rings. To change this setting, see “Special Features” on Page 26.
If the AFX-300 detects fax alert tones or manual fax switching touch-tones within 5 seconds, it automatically di-
rects the call to your fax machine or fax modem.
If the AFX-300 detects a preset sequence of touch-tone
commands within 5 seconds, it either switches the call di- rectly to your fax machine/fax modem or data modem, or is set to accept further commands (see “Switching Fax Calls Manu- ally” on Page 24 and “Special Features” on Page 26).
If the AFX-300 does not detect fax alert tones or touch-
tone commands within 5 seconds, it automatically switches the call to its MODEM jack, even if you did not connect a data modem.
Note: If you did not connect a data modem, be sure to pro- gram the AFX-300 so it routes data modem calls to the FAX jack (see “Special Features” on Page 26). Otherwise, some fax calls might be disconnected.
