Consider the following case:

The fax machine on the analogue network makes a call to the fax machine on the ISDN network.

The SETUP generated on receipt of the call by the ISDN network specifies the call type is Generic Analogue. There must be a call type in a SETUP message, but the ISDN cannot know exactly what kind of device is causing this SETUP, so it makes a best guess.

In this case, the fax machine in the bottom-right corner will happily answer the incoming call.
