Telephone Service for Australia

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® (Distinctive Ringing)
Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced Public Switched
Telephone Service (PSTS) offered by Telstra® that allows you to
have an additional number on one phone line, with its own d istinctive
ring pattern. Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is a call handling feature
that helps users distinguish voice and facsimile calls. With
FaxStream® Duet®, incoming calls to a fax number are an nounced
by a different, distinctive ring signal. Only one call can be answered
(or made) at any one time and while this call is in progress, i ncoming
calls to either number will be presented with a busy tone.
Your MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate one phone number jus t for receiving faxes.
What is the Advantage of using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet®
Function?
Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the most efficient way to receive
both fax and telephone call s on the same line. When the voice ca ll
comes in, all phones (extensio n and external) and the fax machine
will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in, the fax
machine will answer automatically without ringing, whereas the
extension and external phones will ring with a distinctive ring pattern.
It is also a more efficient way of operating a Fax machine with an
extension phone as you do not h ave to use the remote activation
codes. It gives you two inde pendent numbers without the higher cost
of a second line.
