The voice mail system Pub lic Fax Box provides fax detect, r outing, and
notification for incoming faxe s to elim inate the nee d for a separa te ded icated
telephone line for the fax machine.
The system can send a public not ice when a call is rou ted to the Public Fax
Box, so you can check for fax arr ival. A caller ca n record a voice message
about the fax before sending it, and it is ad ded to the fax notice. The operator,
or anyone with public message access, can then redirect the notice and
attached message to the person who received the fax.
SECTION 1
DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN MANUAL
AND AUTOMATIC
FAXES The voice mail system recognizes two incoming fax types:
Manual faxes
The person sending the fax dials y our telephone number from a f ax
machine telephone keypad, and listens to the pro gress of t he call o n a
speaker or handset. When the voic e mail system answers, the caller
presses the fax extension number and may record a voice message
about the fax. When the fax machine tone is heard, the Send or Start key
is pressed to send the fax.
Automatic faxes
The person sending the fax sets the fax machin e to send a fax
automatically. The caller does not hav e to monitor th e progress of the
call. The voice mail system hears the fax tone on the line when it
answers the call, and automatically de livers it to the fax extension.
