Telstra® FaxStream® Duet®

(Distinctive Ringing)

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced
Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS)
offered by Telstra® that allows you to have an
additional number on one phone line, with its
own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra®
FaxStream® Duet® is a call handling feature
that helps users distinguish voice and
facsimile calls. With FaxStream® Duet®,
incoming calls to a fax number are
announced by a different, distinctive ring
signal. Only one call can be answered (or
made) at any one time and while this call is in
progress, incoming calls to either number will
be presented with a busy tone.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to On, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. If you don’t have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You can not
change the receive mode from Manual mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
