Beyond the basics
• Mode 1 (the display calls it “Mode1”) — Your fax machine checks whether any
phone number in your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s
subscriber
ID
(remember, that’s the phone number part of the
TTI
). If it doesn’t
find such a match, your machine disconnects the call.
• Mode 2 (“Mode2”) — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last eight
digits match any number in the blocked numbers list (we’ll explain).
• Mode 3 (“Mode3”) — This rejects both numbers not in the autodialer and numbers
that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodi-
aler yet still block its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.
So, before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, please consider:
• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber
ID
s. —
With this feature activated, your machine would reject faxes from such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with long-dis-
tance or other codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes (i. e.,
those other fax users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber
ID
s).
