Troubleshooting

Trouble Indication

The FAX Attendant fails to accept fax messages via either Fax Mail or Fax Call Answer.

Calls to the FAX Attendant are not answered.

User Response

This is much the same problem as the previous one, except that the make/model of a fax machine is not likely the cause. (Fax machines must be Group 3 machines.)

1.The voice system is not turned on.

2.Be sure all voice channels that are to receive calls are assigned a service.

3.Call each voice channel directly (not through a calling group) to determine if the problem is restricted to a specific channel or card.

a.One or more channels on a voice card may be defective.

b.One or more of the lines connected to the voice channels is dead.

c.Ensure each voice channel is associated with the correct extension number. This information is administered through Voice Equipment under Configuration Management.

4.If the problem only occurs when calls are made to a calling group (as opposed to calling each voice line directly), the problem is likely to be incorrect administration of the calling group (i.e., switch administration).
