2.2.6 Fax information

TalkSwitch provides you with different options to configure your office for fax calls. The advantages and disadvantages of each option are described below, so that you can choose the best solution for your office.

Dedicated fax line

You may already have an incoming dedicated fax line. For more information, see 2.2.6.1 Dedicated fax line on page 50.

Advantages: It is easy to set up and you don’t need to change the way your fax handles calls.

Disadvantages: The dedicated fax line cannot be shared with the other phone devices (i.e. You cannot make an outbound voice call on your fax line). The dedicated fax line costs money and may not often be used.

Distinctive Ring fax detection

Distinctive ring is a service provided by your phone company. A second phone number is added to the same physical telephone line. For more information, see 2.2.6.2 Distinctive ring fax detection on page 52.

Advantages: It does not require a second physical line for faxes. More telephone lines can be added as you grow and you can keep the same fax arrangement.
