Net Switch mode

In this mode, the machine distinguishes between fax and voice calls. This mode is available for certain countries only and requires subscription to a network switch service.

Telstra FaxStream. Duet (Only for Australia)

In Australia, Telstra offers the FaxStream. Duet capability. If you subscribe to this service, your line is assigned two numbers: one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number is called, the network sends a specific ringing tone which your machine recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone number is called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a voice call. This means that there is no switching delay at the caller's end. Contact Telstra for connection information.

- Triple ring (short-short-short) for fax receiving.

Three short rings, at regular intervals.

- Any ring except triple ring (depending on your switchboard) for telephone conversation.
