Press R to enter this outside line access code. If the con- nection to the public telephone network is not possible, contact your telephone system supplier.

8When finished, the device tests the telephone line. Confirm with OK.

9Your device checks whether it can establish a connec- tion with the public telephone network. If it cannot establish the connection, you are once again asked for input.

DSL Connection

In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the device to the slot intended for analogue telephones/fax machines! For additional information, please consult the operating manual of your DSL system. Ask your telephone or internet service provider if necessary.

ISDN Connection

Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be operated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do this, you need either an analogue adapter or a connection for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections can be found in the instructions provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up router.

Voice Mailbox

You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine facility of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box) and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box function for your telephone connection deactivated or set the number of rings for the fax switch to lower than 5 on your device (also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 20). When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your telephone company.
