Using fax machines
The FCT terminal allows the connection of Group 3
analog faxes to the FCT telephone line, in the same
way as a telephone.
Warning!: the fax communication service has to be
registered with your network operator. Otherwise,
the network will not allow faxes to be sent or received.
Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive
other calls while a fax communication is established
Sending a fax
The FCT terminal is programmed to automatically
detect outgoing calls made by an analog fax, meaning
that the user simply has to use the fax in the same
way as a conventional telephone line.
Warning!: if your fax is an old model and is not
able to send the fax identification, CNG tone, you
should include *01* before the destination number
(B-number) in order to inform the FCT that the
next call is a fax call (Example: *01*B-number).
This is not usually necessary, as most faxes
automatically send the CNG tone so that the fax call
is made automatically by the FCT.
Receiving a fax
Incoming faxes are received in the same way as using
the fixed line.
Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support
separate voice and fax numbers, the FCT does not
recognize the type of incoming call. This means that
the calling party will have to inform you each time a
fax is about to be sent. In this case, dial *9901# to
prepare your FCT to receive a fax call.
