FaxSwitch
Many small businesses need a fax, but only use it a few times every month. With a quality fax switch they no longer need to pay the monthly bill for the fax line. The fax switch automatically routes fax calls to the fax machine over an existing voice line, thus eliminating the need for a dedicated fax line.
There are two types of single line-sharing devices. Tone detection immediately answers the phone call, but the caller (if it’s a voice call) doesn’t know it. The caller thinks the phone is ringing, but what the box is doing is listening. It listens and quickly identifies what type of call it is and then routes it to the proper device. This product is called the Stick.
The other way to detect calls is with Distinctive Ringing Service from the phone company. This service is offered by your local telephone company and gives you up to three phone numbers on one line. Each number issues a different ringing pattern. So, the box never actually answers the phone to listen. With this type of application, you have two or three numbers sharing one line. You actually have a fax number and a voice number only you can’t have more than one call going at a time. This product is the SR.
