I'd buy it but you didn't tell us what color it is!

">" Automatic transfer of unanswered call to FAX port after six rings ">" (default) provides unattended or off-hours capabilities. ">" The following items are included in what I've got here: ">" fax switcher, power adapter, short phone cable, user's manual, wall ">" mounting hardware (a couple of screws and washers, you don't need'em). ">" Basics: ">" The faxswither II automatically recognizes most incoming fax calls by ">" the presence of the caller's CNG (CalliNG) tone on the line. This is an ">" audible tone approximately 1100Hz that most fax machines send ">" periodically after their dialing sequence is completed. ">" ">" The Faxswitcher II answers the incoming call during the first ring and ">" "listens" to the line for the CNG tone. ">" ">" If it detects the CNG tone, the faxswitcher II rings the FAX port ">" without ringing any other ports. Your fax machine will then answer the ">" call and negotiate and complete the fax transmission as normal. If you ">" pick up the phone at this time, the line will be dead, as the ">" faxswitcher II's open line detection will not allow you to interrupt a ">" call in progress. ">" ">" If no CNG tone is present, the faxswitcher II will ring the PHONE and ">" TAD ports so that the device that is set to answer in the fewest number ">" of rings will take the call. ">" ">" If you have not picked up the telephone and none of the other devices ">" have answered after the sixth ring, the faxwitcher II wil automatically ">" stop ringing the phone, tad and aux ports and begin ring the fax port. ">" This automatic transfer to the FAX port is useful if you have a ">" telephone attached but you want callers to be able to send a fax when ">" you are unable to answer the phone. ">" ">" If callers know the access code for your fax machine, they may initiate ">" an immediate transfer by entering that access code on the touch-tone ">" keypad on their fax machine. This also useful information to include in ">" your outgoing tad message. This function is active at all times when ">" the faxswitcher II is operational, and assumes that eh call hasn't ">" already been transferred to the fax port by means of chg tone detection. ">" Likewise, callers may connect to the devices attached to the aux or tad ">" ports, simply by entering the correct access code. ">" ">" If the power fails, the faxswitcher II automatically routes all calls ">" directly to the pohone and tad phors so that you can still receive ">" incoming calls during power outages. ">" ">" If the device attached to the fax or aux port does not answer after six ">" rings (i.e. your fax machine is out of paper or turned off) the ">" faxswitcher II will automatically terminate the call. ">" ">" Limitations: ">" While the faxswitcher II is a versatile cost-saving device, it is not a ">" "magic box" that can intelligently detect every incoming call ">" corrrectly. The presence of whistles and other unusual tones on the ">" line may be misinterpreted as CNG or touch-tone signals. Also, being ">" one of the vast number of consumer telephone products on the market, the ">" faxswitcher II may not be compatible with all telecommunications devices ">" and phone systems. It was designed for standard voice, modem, and fax ">" communication in the United States and other areas that conform to FCC ">" regulations. The faxswitcher II is not recommended for use with many ">" South American or European telephone carriers. ">" ">" Modem users should be aware that the faxswitcher II cannot automatically ">" detect an incoming modem call as it does for fax calls. ">" ">" It should also be noted that the audible ring signal sent to the caller ">" may sound different than your local phone carrier's ring signal.
