Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Restricting Dialing from a Fax Machine, Single Fax Machine

Fax Machines

If you are using the PARTNER MAIL system’s Automated Attendant Service, you can program PARTNER MAIL to transfer fax calls to the fax extension or a group of fax extensions automatically. Use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify fax extensions. If you have multiple fax machines, put all of the fax extensions into a single Hunt Group (any group 1–6) using Hunt Group Extensions (#505).

Restricting Dialing from a Fax Machine

You can use dialing restrictions to restrict calling activity on a fax machine. For example, you can use Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to restrict the fax machine to local calls only. For a more detailed discussion of dialing restrictions, see Chapter 2.

Single Fax Machine

The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 4-6) is good for moderate traffic. The fax machine has its own line (line A), the number of which is published as the fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines are busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).

To Use:

The fax machine automatically answers all calls that come in on the fax line. If a call comes in on another line, you can transfer the call to the fax extension (see ‘‘Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine’’ on page 4-12). If you have programmed a Fax Management button, you can transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the status of the fax machine (see ‘‘Using the Fax Management Feature’’ on page 4-11).

When you send a fax, the system automatically selects the fax line.
