Telephone line services

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one telephone line may create problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the telephone line that you will install your new Machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the Machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the

Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the Machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate telephone number, neither will interfere with the other’s operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your Machine can recognize its incoming calls.

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 telephone 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 Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one telephone 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 cannot change the receive mode from Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to On.
