Started to receive the faxes and it switches into a "crazy" update mode. Increasingly gets worse from there.
- Check to see if the Sensaphone is properly connected on the same line as the fax machine.
- Make sure that the ringer is set to answer in more rings than the fax machine.
1st
- See how many rings the fax is responding to before faxing.
- To do this | disconnect the equipment | call the number | listen to ring # fax responds to
2nd
- After you are aware of the fax ring amount | reconnect the Sensaphone | program the ring until the answer feature is at a higher ring amount than fax.
Example: fax works at 5 rings – then you would set the Sensaphone to 7 or higher….
Note: The Sensaphone is set at a default of 4 rings.
If power is lost, does the Sensaphone send an alert?
- Use an analog phone line | it’s not affected by power outages | 10hr battery backup should be ready
- 100 series | You can, but you would have to use one of the channels.
