Connecting An External Tad (Telephone Answering Device) - Brother DCP-J125 User Manual

PBX and TRANSFER
The machine is initially set to Normal, which
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
However, many offices use a central
telephone system or Private Branch
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be
connected to most types of PBX. The
machine's recall feature supports timed break
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to
an outside line, or transfer calls to another
extension. The feature works when Tel/R is
pressed.
Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as
part of a number stored in a Speed Dial
location. When programming the
Speed Dial number, press Tel/R first (the
LCD shows "!"), then enter the telephone
number. If you do this, you do not need to
press Tel/R each time before you dial
using a Speed Dial location. (See Storing
numbers on page 39.) However, if PBX is
not chosen in the Telephone Line Type
setting, you cannot use the Speed Dial
number that the Tel/R press is
programmed into.

TAD (telephone
answering device)
You may choose to connect an external
answering device. However, when you have
an external TAD on the same telephone line
as the machine, the TAD answers all calls
and the machine "listens" for fax calling
(CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine
takes over the call and receives the fax. If it
does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets
the TAD continue playing your outgoing
message so your caller can leave you a voice
message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the
recommended setting is two rings). The
machine cannot hear CNG tones until the
TAD has answered the call, and with four
rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG
tones left for the fax "handshake". Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this
guide for recording your outgoing message.
We do not recommend using the toll saver
feature on your external answering machine if
it exceeds five rings.
Note
If you do not receive all your faxes,
shorten the Ring Delay setting on your
external TAD.
1 TAD
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone.
