Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines,
one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-8,
fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line,
the number of which is published as the fax number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line
A, fax 1 will.

When you send a fax, an outside line will be automatically selected. Incoming
fax calls on the fax line are answered automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in
on a line other than line A, you can transfer the call to fax 2 (see “Transferring a
Call to the Fax Machine” earlier in this chapter). 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). If fax 1 is set for Delayed Ring on line A, fax 1
can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2 does not answer.
