Telephone Service for Australia (Telstra® Duet)

Distinctive Ringing (Telstra® FaxStream® Duet)

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by Telstra’s FaxStream® Duet, which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on the one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.

Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.

You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

• In order for Duet to work properly, you must set your receive mode to Manual and set the Distinctive Ringing to ON.

• To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the machine must be in Manual Mode.
