Setting the TAM Interface Mode

Operation of TAM Interface Mode

1Change Fax Parameter No. 17 (RECEIVE MODE) to 4: TAM / FAX.
(See page 79)
If it is a Fax call,
1When your TAM and Fax receives an incoming call, the
TAM always answers the call first and then the TAM plays
the OGM (Outgoing Message) recorded in your TAM to
the calling station. During the time the TAM is answering
the call, your fax machine will be monitoring the line to
distinguish whether it is a voice or fax call.
2Your machine will switch the line to the fax and then begin
to receive the documents immediately from the calling
station.
If it is a Voice call,
1When your TAM and Fax receives an incoming call, the
TAM always answers the call first and then the TAM plays
the OGM (Outgoing Message) recorded in your TAM to
the calling station. During the time the TAM is answering
the call, your fax machine will be monitoring the line to
distinguish whether it is a voice or fax call.
2Your TAM continues to record a message (ICM) after
playing the OGM.
Sample of OGM
Hello, this is Smith. Sorry I am unable to take your call. Please leave your message after the beep or if you are
calling to send a fax, press the asterisk button twice on your touch tone phone now and start your machine. Thank
you for calling.
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,
1. Change Fax Parameter No. 20 (SILENT DET.) to 2 : Valid. (See page 79)
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.]
