Automatic Fax/Voice Switch
Automatic line sharing: Lets several devices -- such as a phone system, fax and answerer -- share a single phone line.

HOW IT WORKS
1. When a call comes in, FaxSwitch answers the call on the first ring, and listens for a tone ("CNG") that identifies an incoming fax.
2. If FaxSwitch detects the tone, it transfers the call to the FAX/MODEM port.
3. If a CNG tone is not detected within four seconds, the call will be transferred to the PHONE and ANSWERER ports.
4. If FaxSwitch detects an access code for the computer modem after answering a call, it transfers the call to the FAX/MODEM port.


Distinctive ring mode for simple line sharing. When you add a second or third phone number to your single line, the FaxSwitch works smoothly with Distinctive Ring service offered by most local phone companies (different phone companies have different names for this service). It is able to recognize specific ringing patterns assigned to your different phone numbers and route calls to the right device.

Works with phone company Voice Mail and Caller ID.

Remote Message Notification Never miss another important message while you're away. Every time you receive a voice message, fax document or data transmission, the FaxSwitch can automatically send a special tone message to any desired telephone number - local or long distance. (Not compatible with tone pagers.)

Monitoring Our FaxSwitch is so smart it stays on the line during every call, listening for tone commands you send from the keypad of a telephone. So you can talk for a few minutes, push three keys, and transfer the call to your fax machine to receive a document. All on the same call.
