8-4 Receiving Faxes Chapter 8Setting the Options for Fax/Tel ModeIf you set Fax/Tel Mode, you can control precisely how the MultiPASS handlesincoming calls by adjusting the following settings:• Adjust the time the unit takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or atelephone (RING START TIME setting).• Adjust the length of time the unit rings when the call is a voice call (F/T RING TIMEsetting).• Set whether the MultiPASS switches to receive mode after the ring time set in F/TRING TIME has elapsed (DEFAULT ACTION setting).nThese options can also be set from the MultiPASS Suite.
