Send and Receive Fax Machines

If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines, one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-8, fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line, the number of which is published as the fax number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line A, fax 1 will. The receive fax must be on one of the bottom two ports of the processor or 362EC expansion module.

NOTE:

To receive a fax, fax machines rely on an incoming signal to ring. Fax machines only work on Tip Ring ports, which are the bottom two ports of the PARTNER Endeavor 362 processor or 362EC expansion module. Fax machines that are used for sending only may be used at any port.

To Use:

When you send a fax, an outside line will be automatically selected. Incoming fax calls on the fax line are answered automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in on a line other than line A, you can transfer the call to fax 2 (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). If fax 1 is set for Delayed Ring on line A, fax 1 can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2 does not answer.

To Program Fax 1 (Send—Ext. X)

1.If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign one or more lines to extension X (including line A).

If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove line A from all pools. Then use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign pools to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301) to assign line A and any other individual lines to extension X.
