Receive Modes - Dell E515dw User Manual

• Choose the Correct Receive Mode
The correct Receive Mode for you is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice
Mail, Distinctive Ring and so on) you will be using on the same line as the Dell machine.
• Set the Number of Rings Before the Machine Answers (Ring Delay)
When somebody calls your machine, you will hear the normal telephone ring sound. The number of rings is set
in the Ring Delay option.
• Set the F/T Ring Time (Pseudo/Double-ring)
When you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel Mode, if the call is a fax, your machine will automatically receive it.
However, if it is a voice call, the machine will sound the F/T ring (pseudo/double-ring) for the time you set in the
F/T Ring Time option. When you hear the F/T ring, it means that a voice caller is on the line.
