PABX Systems

Private branch exchanges (PABX) are typical in many of- fices and some households. You must dial an outside line access code in order to get a connection to the public tele- phone network (PSTN) from a PABX.

An additional telephone connected to the machine on a telephone socket is not considered an extension.

1Press OK, 96 and OK.

2In some countries you can set the dialling process to pulse dialling or tone dialling (DTMF tones). Use [ to select the desired dialling process.

Only use pulse dialling if tone dialling is not yet activated for your telephone line.

3Confirm with OK.

4Use [ to set whether you operate your device on an extension.

5Confirm with OK.

In rare cases, the outside line access code may be a different number or a two-digit number. For older telephone systems, the outside line access code can be R (= Flash). Press Rto enter this out- side line access code. If the connection to the pub- lic telephone network is not possible, contact your telephone system supplier.

7Confirm with OK.

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

9Your device checks whether it can establish a connection 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 ma- chine after the modem. For additional information, please consult the operating manual of your DSL system.

ISDN Connection

Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be op- erated 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 fa- cility of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box) and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box func-

tion 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 38). When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your tele- phone company.

Registering and de-registering ad- ditional cordless telephones

Normally your cordless telephone is registered with your device in the factory. In the starting mode, press OK. The display shows on which base unit and with which number the cordless telephone is registered.

If you acquired a model with several cordless tele- phones, only one cordless telephone is registered with your device in the factory. Insert the batteries as described above and register the cordless telephones with your device (also see Chapter "Telephone Con- nections and Additional Devices", page 43).

You can register in all up to five cordless telephones with your device. Using only original cordless phones as addi- tional cordless phones ensures optimum use of all func- tions. You can get original cordless telephones through our order service or at specialist shops.

Additional cordless telephone must be GAP-compat- ible.
