6 Telephone Lines and Additional Devices

Configuring Telephone Lines and Services

PABX Systems

Private branch exchanges (PABX) are typical in many of- fices and some households. You must dial an outside line access code in order to get a connection to the public tele- phone network (PSTN) from a PABX.

An additional telephone connected to the machine on a telephone socket is not considered an extension.

1Press OK, 96 and OK.

2In some countries you can set the dialling process to pulse dialling or tone dialling (DTMF tones). Use [ to select the desired dialling process.

Only use pulse dialling if tone dialling is not yet activated for your telephone line.

3Confirm with OK.

4Use [ to set whether you operate your device on an extension.

5Confirm with OK.

6Configuring an extension: Enter the outside line access code with which you reach the public telephone network. This is usually 0.

In rare cases, the outside line access code may be a different number or a two-digit number. For older telephone systems, the outside line access code can be R (= Flash). Press Rto enter this out- side line access code. If the connexion to the pub- lic telephone network is not possible, contact your telephone system supplier.

7Confirm with OK.

8When finished, the device tests the telephone line. Confirm with OK.

9Your device checks whether it can establish a connec- tion with the public telephone network. If it cannot es- tablish the connection, you are once again asked for in- put.

DSL Connection

In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the ma- chine after the modem. For additional information, please consult the operating manual of your DSL system.

ISDN Connection

Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be op- erated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do this, you need either an analogue adapter or a connection for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections can be found in the instructions provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up router.

Voice-Mailbox

You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine facil- ity of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box) and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box function for your telephone connection deactivated or set the number of rings for the fax switch to lower than 5 on your device (also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, Page 19). When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your telephone company.

Connecting Additional Devices

You can operate additional devices on a telephone line, such as cordless telephones, answering machines, modems or charge counters.

Connection to the Machine

You can connect additional devices directly to your device. Insert the telephone cable of the additional device into the EXT- socket (RJ-11-connection) on the device.

We recommend direct connection to the device be- cause this allows the fax switch to function optimally and to control the additional devices.

Connection to the Telephone Line

In order for the fax switch to function, the machine must be first in the series if multiple devices are connected to the same telephone socket. Follow the correct order.

If you have multiple telephone sockets for the same telephone line, the machine must be connected to the first telephone socket.

Using Additional Telephones (Ea- sylink)

With the Easylink function you can control your device with additional telephones. To use this function, addition- al telephones must be set to the tone dialling mode (DT- MF/MFV tones) (for this purpose see the operating man- ual of your additional telephone).

Starting Fax Reception

If you pick up at an additional device and hear that you are receiving a fax (whistling tone or silence), you can start the fax reception by pressing *5 on the additional tele- phone or pressing START on the device.
