JPH0346448A - Fax fault notice method for electronic exchange - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform which facsimile equipment is faulty and what kind of fault takes place to a telephone set with a display device by discriminating fault information with a facsimile equipment fault detector of a private branch of electronic exchange when a fault takes place in the facsimile equipment. CONSTITUTION:When a fault such as paper shortage, page jam or power supply fault takes place in a facsimile equipment 2, fault information is sent from a fault detection means 2-2 of the facsimile equipment 2 to a facsimile equipment fault detector 4. The facsimile equipment fault detector 4 discriminates a faulty facsimile equipment number and fault information. A central controller 6 offers the information from the facsimile equipment fault detector 4 to an optionally set telephone set 3 with display via an extension telephone set unit 5 according to the procedure and setting of a fault notice means 7. Accordingly, fault information of the facsimile equipment is obtained from the telephone set 3 with display. Thus, the facsimile equipment location having a fault is confirmed and the offer of information at a location apart from the facsimile equipment is attained and the facsimile equipment management is made efficient.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a FAX fault notification method in a private electronic branch exchange.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a failure notification method for a FAX is configured to notify by a visible lamp and a warning sound provided in the FAX device itself.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the conventional FAX failure notification method described above, the range in which one notification can be made is narrow, so when used as a private branch exchange FAX, it is not possible to notify a location far from the FAX, and the details of the failure can also be transmitted from the FAX device. The problem was that it was unclear at a distance.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
The purpose is to be able to provide failure information even in locations far from the FAX.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an F
An AX failure detection device is provided, and a failure notification means notifies failure information to a set display telephone.

(Function) Therefore, according to the present invention, when a failure occurs in a FAX, the failure information is determined by the FAX failure detection device of the private electronic branch exchange, and the display-equipped telephone is notified of which FAX has caused what kind of failure. can do.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, l is a private electronic branch exchange, which includes a FAX fault detection device 4 that detects faults by receiving fault information from each FAX, an extension telephone unit 5 that interfaces with a telephone with a 1 display, and a central control unit. The system includes a device 6 and a fault notification means 7 having functions such as setting a fault notification destination telephone for FAX. 2 is a FAX machine, and the FAX main body 2-1
This is warned by the failure detection means 2-2. 3 is a telephone with a display.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, the FAX machine 2 uses a piece of paper.

When a failure such as a paper jam or a power failure occurs, failure information is sent from the failure detection means 2-2 of the FAX machine 2 to the FAX failure detection device 4. The FAX failure detection device 4 detects the failure of the FAX
Determine number and fault information.

The central control unit 6 is a FAX failure detection device! 4 is provided to the arbitrarily set display telephone 3 via the extension telephone unit in accordance with the procedures and settings of the fault notification means 7. Therefore, FAX failure information can be obtained from the display telephone at any time.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, the FA in which the failure has occurred
It is possible to confirm the X location and provide information at a location away from the fax machine, making fax management more efficient.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above examples, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Fax failure content information is also detected and notified to the set display telephone, making fax management easier.

(2) Since information on failures during FAX transmission/reception is notified to remote locations, user efficiency can be improved.
