he Extension Detection feature lets you use an extension
p
hone to answer calls when the AFX-500 is set to automatic
m
ode. (Semiautomatic mode lets you use extension phones
a
s part of its normal operation.)
When Extension Detection is turned on and the AFX-500
routes a call to the
ANSWERING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks,
you can answer the call using any extension phone. After six
rings, the AFX-500 routes the call to the
FAX
and
FAX/MODEM
jacks, and you can no longer answer the call from an exten-
sion phone.
When Extension Detection is turned off, the AFX-500 only lets
you answer a call using a phone connected to its
ANSWERING
MACHINE
or
PHONE
jacks.
Note:
If you have trouble accessing the line from an extension
phone, press . The AFX-500 stops processing the call and
lets the extension phone access the line.

When Outbound Voice Exclusion is turned on, the AFX-500
prevents its connected devices from using the phone line if an

extension phone can be interrupted by any of the phone devic-
es connected to the AFX-500.

When the Answer Any Jack feature is turned on, you can an-
swer an incoming call using a phone connected to any jack on
the AFX-500. This is handy, for example, if you want to an-
swer a call using your fax machine’s handset or your comput-
er’s phone software. After you answer the call, the AFX-500
listens for a fax alert tone, transfer code or modem tone.
The Answer Any Jack feature operates:
• when a call has been routed to the
ANSWERING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks
• after an Automatic No Answer Transfer
• when Distinctive Ring Service Detection is turned on
