Fax Answering lets outside callers send faxes to your System Fax Extension. For information on setting up the System Fax Extension go to setting fax properties.
You do not need to purchase a Fax software authorization code to use fax answering. Although the Fax option is not available if you use CallPilot 100/150, fax answering is still available.
If an incoming Auto Attendant or CCR call is a fax, the call transfers to a the System Fax Extension that you set up, usually a fax machine connected by an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) for CallPilot 100/150, an Analog Station Module (ASM) for Business Communications Manager or an ATA, ASM or GASI trunk for BCM50.
If you have the Fax Overflow option installed, you can add a Fax Overflow mailbox to the extension. This ensures that incoming fax calls are always answered, even if the extension is busy or unanswered.
