Setting rings-to-answer
ENXC
Although most users leave the answer mode set to automatic, voice callers
who dial the fax phone number will hear fax tones if the phone is not
answered, or if they do not hang up by the specified number of
rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear fax tones, use the
manual setting, but remember that fax calls are not received automatically.

When the answer mode is set to automatic, the product's
rings-to-answer setting determines the number of times the phone rings
before an incoming call is answered.
If the product is connected to a line receiving both fax and voice calls (a
shared line) with an answering machine, you may need to adjust the
rings-to-answer. The number of rings-to-answer for the product must be
greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This allows
the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a
message if it is a voice call. When the answering machine answers the
call, the product listens to the call and automatically answers it if it
detects fax tones.
The default setting for rings-to-answer is five for the U.S. and Canada, or
two for other regions.
