TalkSwitch User Manual
If you have a dedicated fax line or a Distinctive Ring number for faxing associated to
a line, please choose this ‘Fax number’ in the list. If you don’t have a line dedicated
for inbound faxing, select ‘none’.
If you do not see your fax number in the list, make sure you have activated the
appropriate line or Distinctive Ring number in the Telephone Lines section under
System Information.
Next, select the extension number where you have your fax device connected. For
example if you have your fax machine connected to E8 on the rear of the TalkSwitch,
then select extension number 118.
If your fax machine is connected to E8 on a TalkSwitch with Unit ID 2, then
the fax extension number is 128. If you have a dedicated fax line or
number, your fax machine should be connected to an extension jack on the
same TalkSwitch unit where the fax line/number is connected.
By default, when both a dedicated line and fax extension have been selected for the
first time, the software automatically configures the incoming call handling
properties for that line to ring only the fax extension you specified on this page.
2.3.1.4 Local Extensions
Local Extensions are phones or devices connected to any of the extension jacks at the
back of TalkSwitch. See sections 1.3 and 1.4 for more details on connectivity.
