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 MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.
What is the Advantage of using Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
Function?
Using Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is the most efficient way to
receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all phones (extension and external) and the fax
machine will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in, the
fax machine will answer automatically without ringing, whereas the
extension and external phones will ring with a distinctive ring
pattern. It is also a more efficient way of operating a Fax machine
with an extension phone as you do not have to use the remote
activation codes. It gives you two independent numbers without the
higher cost of a second line.
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.
