with the assigned ring pattern and automatically start fax
reception.
If the incoming call is for the phone number, the unit will
keep on ringing.

connected, set the ring count of the answering
machine to more than 2.

You may wish to use three or more phone numbers for a

number the call was addressed to, a different ring
pattern must be assigned for each number.
Example: Using three phone numbers
To use one phone number for the fax, program the ring
pattern assigned for the fax (feature #431 on page 52). In
the example, the ring pattern assigned for fax is a triple
ring, so you should program “C” (triple ring).

to all calls with ring tone patterns “B”, “C” and “D”.
