Fax Machines

For best results, fax machines should be connected to the ooma Hub, not to an ooma Scout. To prevent interference with the operation of the ooma system, please make sure the fax machine is configured to not answer phone calls automatically. When placing fax calls, dial *99 prior to dialing the destination fax number.

Other Devices

Devices such as digital video recorders, satellite receivers, security systems and other machines that only use the phone line to make outgoing calls, do not need to be connected through an ooma device. Leave them connected to the phone line, as-is.

If the device is configured to turn off call-waiting (typically by dialing *70), that option must be disabled. See the ooma Lounge for step-by-step instructions on how to do this for common devices.

If a phone shares a wall jack with one of these devices, use a standard duplex splitter and connect one jack to the device, and the other jack to the ooma Hub or ooma Scout. Do not use any “pass-through” telephone jacks that the device may have to allow it to connect in-line with a telephone.
