With Automatic No Answer Transfer turned on, the AFX-500
allows six rings any time it routes a call to the
ANSWERING
MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks. After six rings, it routes the call
back to the
FAX
and
FAX/MODEM
jacks.
With Automatic No Answer Transfer turned off and the AFX-
500 set to automatic mode, the AFX-500 rings the
ANSWER-
ING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks six times, then resets for the
next call (Automatic Ring Reduction is activated).
With Automatic No Answer Transfer turned off and the AFX-
500 set to semiautomatic mode, the AFX-500 rings the
AN-
SWERING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks until the caller hangs up
or you answer the call (Automatic Ring Reduction is
not
acti-
vated).

With the Automatic Answering Machine Transfer feature
turned on, if your answering machine answers a call but dis-
connects within 30 seconds (if its memory is full, for example),
the AFX-500 routes the call to the
FAX
and
FAX/MODEM
jacks.
If the call is on line for more than 30 seconds, the AFX-500 re-
sets for the next call when the answering machine discon-
nects.
Note:
You can change the 30-second setting (see “Automatic
Answering Machine Transfer Timer”).
When the Automatic Answering Machine Transfer feature is
turned off, the AFX-500 resets each time the answering ma-
chine disconnects a call and it does not route calls to the
FAX
and
FAX/MODEM
jacks.
