Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.

1.Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the device with DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.

If you answered No, continue answering questions.

2.Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system?

If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the device with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions.

3.Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?

Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.

4.Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on the device?

Continue answering questions.

5.Do you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line as the device? Are you unsure if you use a computer dial-up modem? If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-up modem:

•Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications through a dial-up connection?

•Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dial-up connection?

•Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection? Continue answering questions.

Continue answering questions.
