Chapter 8 8. Change your Rings to Answer setting on the device to the maximum number of rings supported by the device. NOTE: The maximum number of rings varies by country/region. 9. Run a fax test. When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the device stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message. If you use the same phone line for telephone, fax, and have a computer DSL modem, follow these instructions to set up your fax. Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the device as described in this section. NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing. Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the device, you cannot use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet. There are two different ways to set up the device with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports. • If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)

Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a
computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail
service through your telephone company, set up the device as described in this section.
NOTE:
You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually;
this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you
want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to
subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the device, you cannot
use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use
the device for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail
or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up the device with your computer based on the

If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone
splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front
and a plug on the back.)
