4 The fax switch

FAX
The intelligent fax switch enables you to phone or fax from the same telephone connection. This smart fax
switch also enables you to make optimal use of additional devices.
Alternatives available with the fax switch—DAY/NIGHT/TIMER
Your fax machine behaves differently during the day and night.
For example, in DAY mode, you may wish to be informed whenever you receive a telephone call or fax, and so the fax
machine will ring. In NIGHT mode you may wish not to be disturbed, faxes will therefore be received silently, i.e. without
the fax machine ringing. When TIMER mode is activated, your fax machine automatically switches between DAY and
NIGHT by the aid of a built-in clock.
Of course you can switch off the TIMER mode and switch over between DAY and NIGHT manually.

The fax switch in use with additional devices

(Cordless telephone, answering machine, etc.)
Your fax switch supports all connections for additional devices. There are two different types of connection (schematic
description):
SERIAL:
Your machine will operate in different ways in the DAY and NIGHT modes, depending on whether it is serial or parallel
connected. Using EASY INSTALL (press the HELP key for at least 2 seconds), your fax machine will always be set to the
ideal mode for your connection.
To find out the type of connection or the configuration selected by your fax machine, print out the function list by pressing
the FUNCTION key three times.

Serial configuration

If your fax machine has automatically set to SERIAL configuration with the aid of EASY INSTALL, the optimal functionality
of your fax machine (especially when used with additional telephones) is given. With this type of connection, all calls are
first transferred to your fax machine and from there to all other telephones. Consequently, the "intelligent fax switch" can
identify telephone and fax calls and transfer them accordingly.
If your connection is SERIAL, with the aid of EASY INSTALL your fax machine will be set to the following optimum mode:
Mode WITHOUT built-in answering device
Day Fax reception mode: QUICK
Night Fax machine: QUIET
Timer activated
PARALLEL:
WITH built-in answering device
Fax reception mode: QUICK
Answering device: ON/LOUD
Answering device: rings 3 times
