Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This section suggests several ways you can set up fax machines to work with
your system. It includes instructions for programming and using a Fax

Management button on a system phone (in order to monitor the status of a fax
machine and transfer calls to it with a single touch), transferring calls to the fax
machine extension, and using a Lucent Technologies fax machine’s Notify

feature.

On any system phone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax
Management button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine
is in use, available, or not answering (for example, when it is out of paper). You

can also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the fax machine
with a single touch.

To program a Fax Management button, first assign the fax machine extension

using Fax Machine Extensions (#601). (See Chapter 5 for details.) Then
program the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button. For more
information, see “Auto Dialing” in Chapter 5.

The lights next to the Fax Management button show what is happening at the fax

machine—see Table 4-1.

Red broken
flutter

Fax trouble. The fax machine is not answering. If broken

flutter occurs because the fax machine is out of paper,

refill the paper. The light clears the next time the machine

transmits or receives a call. If the machine takes longer
than four rings to answer, the light shows  fax trouble;
when the machine does answer, the light changes to fax

busy (red steady).

Red steady

Fax busy. The fax machine is busy transmitting or
receiving a call.

Green flash

Fax calling. The green flash indicates that the fax
machine extension is calling you. A fax machine with the
“Notify” feature can call you automatically after it receives
a transmission. See “Using the Fax Machine’s Notify
Feature” on the next page.

Green flutter

Fax transfer return. A call you transferred to the fax
machine was not answered and is returning to you.
