Telephone Service for Australia

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® (Distinctive Ring)

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 distinctive 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 announced 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, incoming calls to either number will be presented with a busy tone.

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

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Your Distinctive Ring Number does not allow Voice calls - only Faxes. You can not change the receive mode from Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Telephone and External devices

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 calls on the same line. When the voice call comes in, all phones (extension 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 twice 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 have to use the remote activation codes. It gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.
