AT&T manual FAX Machine Extensions #601, Write Transfer Return Ext. No. #306

Form B1: System Extensions

PARTNER MAIL

For PARTNER II Release 3 systems, this column heading is VMS.

The extensions to which the mail system unit is to be connected are identified in this column. Two extensions should be checked for a two-port mail system, 4 extensions for a four-port mail system, or 6 extensions for a six-port mail system.

Also, the extension to which the Remote Maintenance Device is to be connected should be checked.

NOTE:

The first extension jack on 206 modules should not be used as a PARTNER MAIL extension. These jacks should be reserved for use during a power failure.

FAX Machine Extensions (#601)

The extensions to which fax machines are connected are identified in this column.

If VMS Hunt Delay is set to Immediate and a fax call comes in on a line covered by Automated Attendant Service that is implemented using Group Call Distribution (#206) Setting 1 for Hunt Group 7, the call will be transferred automatically to the fax extension (or to a fax Hunt Group if there are multiple fax machines). Also, a Fax Message Receiver can be identified; this extension is notified when a fax arrives. For more information, see the Description for mail system Planning Form C.

If the mail system will automatically transfer fax calls, Line Ringing for the fax extension should be set to No Ring. Line Ringing is specified on communications system Form B2.

Write Transfer Return Ext. No. (#306)

By default, a transferred call returns to the originating extension if the call is not answered. This must be changed for all extensions to which the mail system unit is connected.

IMPORTANT:

For the two, four, or six PARTNER MAIL extensions identified above, select a different transfer return extension—usually extension 10—where a person can pick up unanswered calls that are transferred from the mail system.
