Silent Detection Mode

Enables your Fax machine to switch to the Fax Mode when receiving from units that do not send fax signal (short beep) and prevents your TAM from recording blank (long silence) incoming message.

To activate this feature,

2.Set the time length of the OGM recorded in your TAM with the Fax Parameter No. 19 (OGM LENGTH). (See page 79)

[We recommend to set the time length 5 or 6 seconds longer than the actual time length of the OGM.]
