Fax Call Handling
Programming Fax Call Handling information requires you to:
Identify the extensions associated with fax machines.
●   
Identify the fax machine for each Automated Attendant, if applicable.
●   
Identify the extension that will receive the Message-Waiting indication when a fax is
received.
●   
If more than one fax extension is specified for an Automated Attendant, you must create a Fax
Calling Group for that Automated Attendant. This allows the MERLIN Messaging System to
transfer fax calls immediately to an available fax machine assigned to the fax Calling Group.
Fax Call Handling can be used with Immediate Call Handling only. Fax Call Handling cannot
be used with Delayed Call Handling or Night Only Call Handling.
Programming Required:
Assign the tip/ring extension jacks used to connect the fax machines as fax ports.
●   
If you want more than one fax machine extension to be used for each Automated
Attendant, create a Fax Calling Group and assign the fax extensions as members of the
group.
●   
Identify the extension that will display a Message-Waiting light when a fax is received.
●
