Ericsson F221m manual Using fax machines, Sending a fax, Receiving a fax

Using fax machines

The FCT terminal allows the connection of Group 3 analog faxes to the FCT telephone line, in the same way as a telephone.

Warning!: the fax communication service has to be registered with your network operator. Otherwise, the network will not allow faxes to be sent or received. Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive other calls while a fax communication is established

Sending a fax

The FCT terminal is programmed to automatically detect outgoing calls made by an analog fax, meaning that the user simply has to use the fax in the same way as a conventional telephone line.

Warning!: if your fax is an old model and is not able to send the fax identification, CNG tone, you should include *01* before the destination number (B-number) in order to inform the FCT that the next call is a fax call (Example: *01*B-number). This is not usually necessary, as most faxes automatically send the CNG tone so that the fax call is made automatically by the FCT.

Receiving a fax

Incoming faxes are received in the same way as using the fixed line.

Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support separate voice and fax numbers, the FCT does not recognize the type of incoming call. This means that the calling party will have to inform you each time a fax is about to be sent. In this case, dial *9901# to prepare your FCT to receive a fax call.
