16 TalkSwitch User Guide
2.3.1.4 Fax Information
The information in this tab helps configure TalkSwitch to handle faxes.
If you have a dedicated fax line or a Distinctive Ring number for faxing associated to
a line, please choose this ‘Fax number’ in the list. If you don’t have a line dedicated
for inbound faxing, select ‘none’.
If you do not see your fax number in the list, make sure you have activated the
appropriate line or Distinctive Ring number in the Telephone Lines section under
System Information.
Next, select the extension number where you have your fax device connected. For
example if you have your fax machine connected to E3 on the rear of the TalkSwitch,
then select extension number 113.
By default, when both a dedicated line and fax extension have been selected for the
first time, the software automatically configures the incoming call handling
properties for that line to ring only the fax extension you specified on this page.
