Receiving Documents Automatically-Fax Only Mode When you set up the MultiPASS for a dedicated fax line, the unit is prepared to automatically receive a document whenever a call comes over the fax line. If a voice call comes in, the caller will hear the fax tone. Receiving Both Documents and Telephone Calls Automatically-Fax/Tel Mode In Fax/Tel Mode, the MultiPASS monitors all incoming calls over the telephone line. When the MultiPASS receives an incoming call, it checks to see if the call is from another fax machine trying to send a document or from someone wanting to talk to you. You must have a telephone connected to the MultiPASS to use this mode. How Fax/Tel Mode Works In Fax/Tel Mode, a telephone attached to the MultiPASS will not ring when it receives a call from another fax machine that is trying to send a document. This is so that you are not disturbed when your MultiPASS is communicating with another fax machine. The unit automatically receives the document. If the call is from a person, the MultiPASS rings to alert you to pick up the phone. You must pick up the telephone connected to the MultiPASS. If you do not pick up the telephone connected to the MultiPASS within 15 seconds (set by the Ring Time option in the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility), the unit stops ringing. It checks again to make sure the call is not from a fax machine and then hangs up. N The MultiPASS does not recognize an extension telephone connected to another phone jack (that is, not connected to the MultiPASS). If a call comes in and you pick up an extension phone, the telephone connected to the MultiPASS will continue to ring for 15 seconds, check for a fax, and then hang up. 5-2 Receiving Faxes Chapter 5
