Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

If you do not use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside
line, you can put the machine on its own extension. With this setup, you must
transfer calls to it manually. If you have programmed a Fax Management
button, you can transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as
monitor the status of the fax machine (see “Fax Management Feature” earlier in
this chapter). Figure 4-7 shows the setup.

When a person answers a call and hears a fax machine signaling on the other
end, the person can transfer the call to extension X—the fax machine extension.
To send a fax transmission, simply lift the handset on the fax machine—an
outside line will be automatically selected.

assign the pools you want the fax machine to use to extension X. Also use

Line Assignment (#301) to assign any individual lines you want the fax

machine to use to extension X.

If extension X is a key extension, set Automatic Line Selection for extension
X to line A, B, C, . . . .
