PBX and TRANSFER

The machine is initially set to Normal, which lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) line.

However, many offices use a central telephone system or Private Branch Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be connected to most types of PBX. The machine’s recall feature supports timed break recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most PBX systems allowing you to gain access to an outside line, or transfer calls to another extension. The feature works when Tel/R is pressed.

Telephone and External devices

Note

You can program a Tel/R key press as part of a number stored in a Speed Dial location. When programming the Speed Dial number press Tel/R first (the screen displays “!”), then enter the telephone number. If you do this, you do not need to press Tel/R each time before you dial using a Speed Dial location. (See Storing Speed Dial numbers on page 45.) However, if PBX is not chosen in the Telephone Line Type setting, you cannot use the Speed Dial number that Tel/R press is programmed into.

BT Call Sign (U.K. only)

This machine feature lets you use the BT Call

Sign subscriber service which allows you to 7 have at least two separate telephone

numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which telephone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate telephone number for your machine.

Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing functions, allowing you to dedicate a second telephone number (on the same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.

Note

•You can switch BT Call Sign off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function. This machine will automatically answer incoming calls that use your new fax number.

•When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Manual mode will not respond to incoming telephone calls, since the number you use for telephone calls will use the normal ring pattern.
