The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your fax machine is on Line 1, plug the fax machine into L1 on the triplex adapter. If your fax machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 on the triplex adapter.

Installing fax machine, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line Telephone

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the fax machine on Line 2, which is our assumption in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your fax machine and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

1Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your fax machine.

2Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of the fax machine.

3Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
