Telstra

FaxStream
®
Duet
®
is an enhanced Public Switched
Telephone Service (PSTS) offered by Telstra
®
that allows you to
have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive
ring pattern. Telstra
® FaxStream ® Duet ® is a call handling feature
that helps users distinguish voice and facsimile calls. With
FaxStream
® Duet ® , incoming calls to a fax number are announced
by a different, distinctive ring signal. Only one call can be answered
(or made) at any one time and while this call is in progress, incoming
calls to either number will be presented with a busy tone.
Your MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.
What is the Advantage of using Telstra
®
FaxStream
®
Duet
®
Function?
Using Telstra ® FaxStream ® Duet ® is the most efficient way to receive
both fax and telephone calls on the same line. When the voice call
comes in all phones* (extension and external) connected to the
same line and the fax machine will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a
fax call comes in, the fax machine will answer automatically without
ringing, whereas the extension and external phones will ring with a
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more efficient way of operating a
Fax machine with an extension phone as you do not have to use the
remote activation codes. It gives you two independent numbers
without the higher cost of a second line.
* standard phones —those phones without ring discrimination features
Appendix A
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On , the receive
mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode
means you must answer all the voice calls yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive
Ring is set to on.
