Telstra FaxStream™ Duet
(Australia only)
Telstra offers the FaxStream™ Duet capability. If you subscribe to this service, your line is assigned
two numbers: one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number is called, the network sends a
specific ringing tone which your fax recognises and automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone
number is called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a
voice call. This means that there is no switching delay at the other party’s end.
Contact Telstra for connection information.
Setting the fax for network switch ____________
•When the fax number is called, you will hear a triple-ring* ringing tone.
•When the telephone number is called, you will hear a ringing tone other than the triple-ring
ringing tone. The ringing tone depends on your switchboard.
1 Press [Receive Mode] to select NET SWITCH.
See Setting the receive mode, p. 6-2.

The fax returns to standby mode.
* Three short rings (short-short-short) at regular intervals
Operation for network switch system _________
The procedures for using the network switch system are almost the same as when using the fax over
a normal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the fax will respond slightly differently
as described below.
When you hear the telephone call ring pattern:
Pick up the handset and talk normally. If you hear a slow beep, it means the call is from a fax
machine trying to send a document. Press [Start/Copy] to receive the document. If you do not pick
up the handset, the fax continues to ring until the other party hangs up. If an answering machine is
connected, it takes over the call.
When you hear the fax call ring pattern (triple ring):
After the fax rings, it receives the document automatically.
