Chapter 7
How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Work?Incoming calls to the voice number, will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, followed by a pause, repeated, while the new fax number will have a different ring pattern of three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular intervals.
When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you receive a voice call all extension and external phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third ring with a standard ring pattern. All external and the extension phones will continue to ring, until you or a telephone answering device can answer the voice number.
When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you
receive a fax call on the Duet® number the Fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message without ringing. On the other hand, all extension and external phones will ring twice with a distinctive ring pattern. Do not answer the phone as you are receiving a fax message.
