automatically switches
the facsimile answer
to the
ring
pattern
from the telephone exchange.

to
set up
the facsimile to receive telephone and
facsimile transmissions with
different
numbers on
the
same
line. You
can also, of course,
receive telephone
and
facsimile transmissions to
the
same
number on
one
line.

feature works
together
with
optional
services
provided
by some
local
phone
companies. Using

telephone line, separate
numbers
are
given

voice
calls
based on a designated

dialed,
will ring
at
the
same
telephone
line with its
own distinctive
ring. Therefore,
each call
is answered
properly
as
a
fax
or
voice call.
