Fax Detection |
If you have a fax machine, you can connect it to one of the extension jacks on the VoicePro. Then enable Fax Detection and incoming fax calls will automatically be routed to that extension where you have your fax machine connected.
To enable Fax Detection with the VoicePro you need to do the following...
- Use function 31 to specify which CO lines may receive incoming fax calls. This causes a slight delay when answering, in order to wait for a CNG signal that is sent by the sending fax machine.
- Use function 7 to specify the extension where you connected your fax machine.
If no fax CNG signal is detected, or if the caller makes a regular voice call, then the Automated Attendant will answer the call. In that case the caller can manually dial any extension or select any menu option you programmed into the VoicePro.
How Fax Detection Works
The originating fax machine sends a CNG signal to indicate that this is a fax call. The receiving fax machine will detect the CNG signal and respond with a CED tone to indicate that it is ready to receive the transmission.

I use it for our office fax. Actually I combine it with Voice Mail on one line.
