Duet Switches

What is a Duet Switch?

Duet Switch is designed to allow your Fax Machine to operate with the FaxStream Duet® service. The FaxStream Duet® service provides you with a second number for your existing line. This service costs $6 per month and is available from your normal telephone service provider. There is no installation charge and the new number becomes your Fax Number. When Fax calls are made to the new number, a different ring is sent which Duet Switch will detect within 2 seconds. It then connects the incoming Fax call to your Fax Machine.

There are 2 Duet Switches in our Range:

Choose a Duet Switch

• If you wish to use a different number for your Fax.
• When you already use the FaxStream Duet® service and your new device does not support it.
• If you use Exchange based Voice Mail services such as Messages 101® or MessageBank®.

Note : If you are using a PABX Phone System, you will need to use our FaxSwitch 2 device.

Why Use a Fax Switch or Duet Switch?

Because :

• Fax Line Monthly Rental is constantly Increasing.

• Fax Line Installation Costs are Increasing.

• Fax Use is decreasing and many Dedicated Fax Lines get little use.

• Because a National Communications Switch will provide you AND your Fax Callers with a Reliable, Fully Automatic Fax Reception solution.

• User installation under all circumstances.

• A separate Answering Machine (if used) can be connected to the same socket or any other socket on the line.

• If ADSL is used on the same line, then an ADSL filter should be fitted ahead of the switch.

Because it will SAVE YOU MONEY - Save up to $2500 in 5 years!

Compatibility

Operation with ADSL

Our Fax Switch and Duet Switch products are designed to operate with an ADSL service. They will not affect your ADSL service and your ADSL service will not affect the operation of our Switches.

It is essential that you use a High Quality ADSL Filter/Splitter somewhere on your Telephone Line ahead of our Switch.

We recommend the C10 brand ADSL Filter/Splitter, available from most telephone equipment retailers. Your Reseller can advise you of other suitable filters.

Operation with CallerID

Our Fax Switch and Duet Switch products are designed to operate with a CallerID service.

If a CallerID telephone is to be connected direct to your Fax Switch or Duet Switch, you can quickly and easily enable the unit to pass CallerID to your telephone device.

Operation with Simulated Telephone services

Our products are designed and guaranteed to operate with standard telephones lines.

We are unable to guarantee the operational reliability of our products on simulated telephone line services such as those provided via Cable or ATA devices, because the operation of our products depends on the accuracy of the simulated services.
