Limiting polling access to your fax machine
Your machine’s closed network setting (see page 2.52) works for polling, as well. If a
calling fax doesn’t “present” the proper passcode, it cannot poll from your fax.
Note: However, if you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see pages 2.52–2.54),
even incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from appropri-
ate phone numbers.
OneLine + distinctive ring detection
It used to be that, to have two phone numbers, you had to have two phone lines
(and the more expensive phone equipment that usually involves). But many phone
companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it possible for
one phone line to do the work of two — a real boon in this day of the “
SOHO
” (small
office/home office).
With this service, you physically still have one phone line; but, electronically, you
have two phone numbers. Each number rings your phone in a different way than
the other number does.
This makes it easy for you to have both (for example) a business number and a home
number on one phone line, so you can answer one with “Jane Doe Consulting,” and
the other with “Hello.” You get the idea: this works because you’re smart enough to
tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings.
But what if your fax machine, too, could be smart enough? Then it could ignore one
of the two numbers, “knowing” that it’s supposed to answer only the other one.
Well, as you’ve probably guessed by now, that’s exactly what your fax machine can do.
All you have to do is give it a little help at the beginning and begin to enjoy the benefits
of its OneLine + distinctive ring detection (
DRD
) feature.
