Setting the Options for Fax/Tel Mode
If you set Fax/Tel Mode, you can control precisely how the unit handles incoming calls
by adjusting the following settings:
–RING START TIME setting: Adjust the time the unit takes to check whether a call is
from a fax machine or from a telephone (default: 8 seconds).
–F/T RING TIME setting: Adjust the length of time the unit rings when the call is from
a telephone (default: 15 seconds).
–DEFAULT ACTION setting: Set whether the unit switches to receive mode or
disconnects the call after the ring time set in F/T RING TIME has elapsed (default:
switches to receive mode).
