Fax/Did - Siemens HiPath 1100 Programming Manual

Fax/DID

Step by Step
Fax/DID
systems can be equipped with an optional Fax/DID
Module (direct dialing to extensions) for answering ex-
ternal calls automatically, playing announcements and
detecting fax signals. A caller can dial any extension or
enter any digit configured in the Answering Menu and
be transferred to another extension or group. The max-
imum number of simultaneous conferences supported
by the system is 8.
The feature has five modes of operation: Fax only, DID,
Fax/DID, message and Auto Fax/ If a S or TME1
0
module is also installed, a fourth mode of operation is
available: a DID for digital lines.
Messages stored with this feature can be programmed
for a Second Attendant to answer external calls or for a
Call Forwarding destination for an extension (see Call
Forwarding in the User Manual).
Fax Mode
In this operating mode the Interface detects only sig-
nals Fax. A greeting announcement is played for all in-
coming external calls. If the caller wants to send a fax,
the transmission can be started at the end of the an-
nouncement. If no fax signal is detected within 10 sec-
onds of the greeting announcement, a second an-
nouncement will be played and the call will be
transferred to an Attendant.
DID Mode
In this mode of operation the interface detects exten-
sions or digits dialed and then transfers the call accord-
ingly . When an external call is answered, a greeting an-
nouncement is played to guide the caller. An example of
a recorded announcement would be: "You have reached
Siemens. Dial the extension number you would like to
reach 22 for Sales Department or 23 for Technical Sup-
port." If no valid MF signal is detected within 10 sec-
onds of the greeting announcement, a second an-
nouncement will be played and the call will be
transferred to an Attendant.
