Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the MFC to a key system or a PBX
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for
the MFC.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer
to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the
unit from being activate d each time a telephone call is rec eived.

If you are installing the MFC to work with a PBX

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the comp any that handles your PBX.

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the Re ceive Mode be set to Manual. All
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID,
RingMaster, an answering serv ice, an alarm system or other custom
feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operati on
of your MFC. (See If you are having difficulty with your MFC on page
12-11.)
As with all fax units, this MFC must be connected to a two wire
system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection
of the MFC cannot be made.
If you are installing the MFC to work with a PBX you need to set
Phone Line Set to PBX (Menu, 0, 4).
