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 tele- phone 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 con- nection for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN con- nections 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 line deactivated or set the number of rings for the fax switch to lower than 5 on your device (see also chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 29). When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail- box of the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your telephone company.

Connecting Additional Devices

You can operate additional devices on a telephone line, such as cordless telephones, answering machines, mo- dems or charge counters.

SMS Reception with Additional

Telephone

If you are using cordless telephone with SMS function on the same connection, then the spe- cific device at which you will receive and SMS message will depend on the specific manufactur- er. Only one of the devices will receive the SMS message. Try to turn off the SMS reception on your cordless telephone.
