Operation with fax machine, modem or answering machine


General

 

Following the logon procedure, the Gigaset 1000TAE is ready for the connection of a fax machine, a modem or an answering machine.

When you use a Gigaset 1000TAE, the configuration of your Gigaset telephone system must allow for the interoperation of the different devices (e.g. operation of a fax machine concurrently with an answering machine or telephone). It may be advisable to remove Gigaset 1000TAE from the ringing assignment function to prevent incoming calls being taken by the modem. For further information on the ringing assignment function please refer to the operating manual for your base station.
 

Info

When using an ISDN base station (e.g. Gigaset 1054isdn), note carefully that if a fax machine or a modem is connected to Gigaset 1000TAE the multiple subscriber number (MSN) used is configured with the device type "fax machine" or "modem" at the base station (see also the operating instructions for your ISDN base station), otherwise the clear identification and assignment of services for fax machine or modem operation is not possible from the ISDN network.

Operation with fax machine

 

After a fax machine has been connected to the Gigaset 1000TAE (already logged on at the base station), you can send and receive fax messages in the usual way. Note that the maximum transmission speed is set to 9.6 Kbps. Your fax machine must also be programmed to operate "behind" a PBX, since a trunk call is not set up until the digit 0 has been dialed (see also the operating instructions for your fax machine).

Reception of fax messages:
If you have taken a call on a mobile handset and then hear fax tone indicating that there is a document waiting to be transmitted, you can forward the fax transmission to your fax machine (via the Gigaset 1000TAE connected to the base station) by means of internal call transfer (INT key, internal number of the fax machine, replace).

The Gigaset 1000TAE can also be operated with an optional automatic fax/phone switch, so that a call taken by the fax/phone switch will be automatically redirected to a telephone connected parallel to the fax machine. The same principle applies to combi fax machines.

To obtain optimal transmission quality for fax messages, it may be necessary in individual cases to reduce the data rate of your fax machine from 9.6 Kbps to 4.8 Kbps. With error correction mode (ECM) activated in the transmitting and receiving devices, the transmission quality is adequate for all data rates (see also the operating instructions for your fax machine).

Operation with modem

 

After a modem has been connected to the Gigaset 1000TAE (already logged on at the base station), you can send and receive data in the usual way. Note carefully that the maximum transmission speed of your modem is V.32 (9.6 Kbps). Neither V.32bis nor V.34 is supported. For permanent programming of the modulation method to V.32 please refer to the operating instructions for your modem.

On account of the large number of modems currently available on the market, operation with V.32 and thus with 9.6 Kbps cannot be guaranteed for every type of modem. If a connection with V.32 is not possible, the modem used normally offers the capability of setting a lower throughput or a different (lower) transmission rate either automatically or manually.

Also note carefully that the digit 0 is inserted before the destination number is dialled, so that a trunk connection can be set up (the same procedure as for a PABX). With a large number of telephone exchanges it may also be necessary to insert a pause in the form of a comma after the digit 0 (for example: AT DT 0,123456).

Since the modem used in connection with Gigaset 1000TAE cannot immediately detect the dial tone (i.e. not until after digit 0 has been dialled), it may be necessary to deactivate dial tone detection in the modem (e.g. by means of the command "AT X1").

If you have taken a modem call on a mobile handset (high-pitched tone audible), by means of internal call transfer you can reroute the data transmission to a modem linked to the Gigaset 1000TAE (INT key, internal number, replace).

Additional setting if Gigaset 1010 and 1015 is used:

With Gigaset 1010/1015, an additional setting for using Gigaset 1000TAE with a modem is necessary. To configure the internal Gigaset 1000TAE number for modem operation, carry out the following procedure via a mobile handset of the modem, replace using the key sequences shown:

 

 SET key # key Digit key 1 Digit keys system code Redial key # key Digit key 0 Digit keys internal number (modem) Digit key 1 SET key

 

Switching back to voice mode:

 

 SET key # key Digit key 1 Digit keys system code Redial key # key Digit key 0 Digit keys internal number (modem) Digit key 0 SET key

 

Note that an internal number set at the Gigaset 1010/1015 for modem operation is not suitable for voice mode (e.g. when a telephone is connected to Gigaset 1000TAE).
 

Info

The transmission speed may be restricted by the modem used, the line conditions in the telecommunications network and the base station. In such cases it is advisable to configure the data rate of the modem as 4.8 Kbps or 2.4 Kbps. You should also consult the operating instructions for your modem.

Operation with answering machine

 

After an answering machine has been connected to the Gigaset 1000TAE (already logged on at the base station), you can record incoming calls in the usual way.
