Connecting To A Pbx - Oki OKIFAX 5050 Handbook

Connecting to a PBX

A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a private telephone
system used to route internal calls. If you have to dial a
prefix (access digit) to get an outside line, then your line is
connected to a PBX.
If you are connecting your OKIFAX to a PBX, follow the
instructions below. It can then detect the access digit at the
beginning of phone numbers you dial or program, and
automatically waits for a dial tone before dialing the rest of
the number.
Note: Some PBX installations may require additional adjustments
to your OKIFAX. If you continue to have difficulty with fax commu-
nication after following these steps, contact Okidata.
