- Gentlemen,
-
- Is there any of you out there who has any experience with ZOOM ComStar 620
- Distinctive Ring feature?
-
- I'm using Bitware ver. 3.30.06 from Cheyenne Software.
-
- I use one single phone line with the following 3 options from my phone company:
-
- - single rings for my main phone number (regular rings).
- - double rings for the interphone at my house entrance.
- - triple rings for my second phone number.
-
- I intend to use my modem as follows:
-
- - my main phone number only for voice calls
- - manual receive for the interphone
- - my second phone number only for fax calls
-
- This will normally require the following settings:
-
- - Answer Mode: Distinctive Rings.
- - Distinctive Ring setup:
- - ring type A voice only.
- - ring type B manual receive.
- - ring type C and D fax only.
-
- However, with these settings, no matter how the phone rings, single, double or triple,
- my Receive Manager answers and plays the greeting message which I want to be played only
- for ring type A(voice calls). What is the most disturbing is that I can not receive any
- faxes automatically on my second number (which is intended for this purpose).
- I tried different other combination and it seems that the modem is not able to
- distinguish among different rings.
-
- Is there any way for this software to distinguish between a fax call and a voice call
- and to play the greeting only for a voice call?
-
- Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
-
- Amanda V.
