Set the number of rings before answering

If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are automatically answered.

The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line and you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the device does. The number of rings to answer for the device should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine so that the incoming call will be answered by the answering machine before the device answers.

For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the device to answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the device monitors the line. If the device detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
