Arrangement for connecting a telefax device or a telephone set to a telecommunication line.

摘要

Arrangement for optionally connecting a facsimile device (3, fig 2) or a telephone set (2, fig 2) to a subscriber line (1, fig 2) depending on the incoming call being a facs call or a telephone call. The arrangement is provided with selection means (3, fig 1), offering the choice between two operating states. In a first operating state an incoming call is always switched to the telephone set (2, fig 2) (telephone priority) unless the arrangement detects (5, fig 1) telefacs signals or a prescribed (4, fig 1) voice word ("fax"). In a second operating state the incoming call is always switched through to the facsimile device unless a prescribed (6, fig 1) voice word ("telephone") is detected (7, fig 1) (fax priority).
