Setting the Options for Fax/Tel Mode
If you set Fax/Tel Mode, you can control precisely how the unit handles incoming calls by adjusting the following settings:
•Adjust the time the unit takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or a telephone (RING START TIME setting).
•Adjust the length of time the unit rings when the call is a voice call (F/T RING TIME setting).
•Set whether the unit switches to receive mode after the ring time set in F/T RING TIME has elapsed (DEFAULT ACTION setting).
nYou can also set these options from the MultiPASS Suite. (1 Software User’s Guide)
