Activation of Fax/DID after a Timeout

When a Fax/DID Module is answering 8 calls simulta-
neously, the next call will receive a ring signal generated
by the local carrier, until the HiPath 1100 answers the
call. If the timeout specified for this feature is shorter
than the local carrier's timeout, the call can be routed in
two different ways, depending whether the PABX re-
ceived it over an analog or a digital line:
• For an external analog line, the switch is required to
bypass the Fax/DID and forward calls to an analog
line Attendant (if there is no Attendant available, the
call is forwarded to an overflow extension). Of
course, if a Fax/DID channel becomes available in
the meantime, the call will be answered as usual
and the timeout will be ignored.
However, if the time specified for this setting is
longer than the local carrier's timeout (1.5 minutes
for Brazil), the call will be disconnected by the local
carrier before the PABX can forward it to an atten-
dant.
• In the case of a digital line (E1 CAS, S2 or S
the PABX sends a "disconnect" signal to the line
upon receiving a call. This means that the time spec-
ified for this setting is ignored in the case of digital
lines. When the Fax/DID is busy answering 8 simul-
taneous calls, the external caller hears a busy signal.

When the Fax/DID module answers a call and
forwards it to an extension (the call is ringing
somewhere), that call is no longer considered
one of the four calls that is keeping the Fax/DID
module busy. In summary, once the Fax/DID
module forwards a call to an extension, the chan-
nel is available for another call.
