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.
