Avoiding Conflict Between Fax and Data

Communications

When you are using your data modem for communications, the MultiPASS 1000 recognizes that the line is busy and does not attempt to use the line to start fax communication. However, when the MultiPASS 1000 is in a fax communication, the data modem cannot recognize that the line is being used by the MultiPASS 1000.

Before starting data communication with your modem, you must check the LCD display on the MultiPASS 1000 to see if it is in the standby mode. Only start data communications when the MultiPASS 1000 is in standby mode.

NOnly share the phone line attached to the MultiPASS 1000 with your data modem if you will use the modem to initiate calls. If you would like to have others access your computer by calling you, or if you use your modem very frequently, you will need a dedicated telephone line for your modem.
