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 congured 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 congured 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.
