Chapter 7

This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PBX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be put into the modular socket of the white ‘T’-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

The fax machine must be plugged into the master socket.

Note

These telephones are now connected as external devices (see Connecting an external or extension telephone

on page 41), because they are connected to the fax machine via the T-connector.

Using a cordless external telephone

Once the base unit of the cordless telephone has been connected to the same telephone line as the machine (see External and extension telephones on page 41), it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you carry the cordless handset around with you.

If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press Tel/R to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codesRemote Activation Code

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation Code 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect

on page 35.)

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Mono Start.

Remote Deactivation Code

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension telephone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1 (make sure you press this between the rings).

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Tel/R.
