Net Switch mode
In this mode, the machine distinguishes between fax and voice calls. This mode is available for certain countries only and requires subscription to a network switch service.
Telstra FaxStream. Duet (Only for Australia)
In Australia, 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 machine recognizes 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 caller's end. Contact Telstra for connection information.
Triple ring (short-short-short) for fax receiving.
Three short rings, at regular intervals.
Any ring except triple ring (depending on your switchboard) for telephone conversation.
Before using this mode
Make sure to do the following:
Subscribe to the FaxStream service.
Connect the optional handset or your external telephone to the machine. (See Starter Guide.)
Set the receive mode to <Net Switch>.
