The Fax Detector feature allows you to set and manage the call processing when the caller is trying to send a fax message. You can set up the system to hang up a call or redirect it to a campaign for fax messaging.
These settings are available for the Product or phone number. Note: The setting for the phone number overrides the setting for the Product.
