Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is an enhanced
Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS)
offered by Telstra
®
that allows you to have an
additional number on one phone line, with its
own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is a call handling feature
that helps users distinguish voice and
facsimile calls. With FaxStream
®
Duet
®
,
incoming calls to a fax number are
announced by a different, distinctive ring
signal. Only one call can be answered (or
made) at any one time and while this call is in
progress, incoming calls to either number will
be presented with a busy tone.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to
On
, the receive mode is set to
Manual
automatically. If you don’t have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number,
Manual
mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You can not
change the receive mode from
Manual
mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
What is the Advantage of using
Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
Function?
Using Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is the most
efficient way to receive both fax and
telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all phones (extension
and external) and the fax machine will ring to
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,
the fax machine will answer automatically
without ringing, whereas the extension and
external phones will ring with a distinctive ring
pattern. It is also a more efficient way of
operating a Fax machine with an extension
phone as you do not have to use the remote
activation codes. It gives you two
independent numbers without the higher cost
of a second line.
