If you do not see your fax number in the list, make sure you have activated
the line in the TalkSwitch configuration software under
System Information -> Telephone Lines.
2.2.6.2 Distinctive ring fax detection
A single incoming telephone line can have two assigned numbers with a
different ring pattern for each number. Based on the ring pattern, you pick
up the phone or let the fax answer the call.

Here is how TalkSwitch handles incoming calls:
The unit automatically routes faxes to the fax machine and calls to the
telephone.
One of the incoming telephone lines will have a distinctive ring number
assigned to it. The unit recognizes this number as an incoming fax line.
Follow the steps below:
1. Open the TalkSwitch configuration software.
By default, when a dedicated line and a fax extension have been selected
for the first time, the software automatically configures the incoming call
handling properties for that line to ring only the fax extension that you
have specified.
