To automatically route calls to
your fax machine, and TDD, you must use the phone company's Distinctive Ring Service
(DRS). The DRS from the phone company is a service that uses a single phone line for
multiple phone numbers and assigns a unique ring identity to each phone number. Working in
conjunction with this service, ComSwitch identifies and
individually directs two unique ring types to designated telephone devices (i.e., fax,
modem, and so on).
NOTE: The name Distinctive Ring Service may vary
with each telephone company, as well as the ring types available. This service may not be
available in some locations, but is required for use with this application. Contact your
local telephone company to verify availability in your area.

Your primary phone number will automatically ring
all of your extension phones as well as the TDD. Your second phone number (which is the
DRS number) will route calls to the fax machine. (You can connect a computer modem in
place of the fax machine and obtain the same results.) |
