Setting Up Fax/Tel Mode
You can control precisely how your MultiPASS C70 handles incoming calls by adjusting the settings described below.
n The options described below can also be set from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. (1 MultiPASS Suite Software User’s Guide)
❏RING START TIME
When a call comes in, the unit checks to see if it is a person wishing to speak to you or a fax machine trying to send a document. If your unit does not have enough time to detect the fax tone, it assumes the call is from a telephone. Use the RING START TIME setting to increase the time the unit takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or a telephone. You can select a time between 0 and 30 seconds. The default setting is eight seconds.
❏F/T RING TIME
When your unit is set to receive both fax and telephone calls automatically, it rings to alert you to pick up the handset or the handset of the telephone or extension phone if the call is from a person. If you do not pick up the handset within a certain amount of time, the unit stops ringing. Use this option to change the length of time the unit rings, from 10 to 60 seconds. The default setting is 22 seconds.
❏DEFAULT ACTION
Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG tone that warns the receiving fax machine that a fax is coming). In those cases the unit may think that the call coming in is a voice call and rings to alert you of the call (the amount of time it is going to ring is determined by the F/T RING TIME setting above). If you do not answer the call, one of two things can happen:
1.If you set the DEFAULT ACTION setting to RECEIVE, the unit will switch to fax receive mode automatically at that point and start to receive the document. If no document comes in, it disconnects the call after approximately 55 seconds. The default setting is RECEIVE.
2.If you set the DEFAULT ACTION to DISCONNECT, the unit will disconnect the telephone call immediately freeing up your telephone line at this point.
