Using A Cordless External Telephone (Mfc-680Cn Only); Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-680CN User Manual

Chapter 7
The inadvisable configuration is shown in
figure 1 on the next page, and the
recommended master/slave configuration is
shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be
arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon
Hull Telecommunications, your PBX
maintainer or a qualified telephone
installation company as appropriate. Simply
explained, the extension telephone circuit
should be terminated on a normal modular
plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be
put into the modular socket of the white 'T'-
shaped connector provided as part of the line
cord assembly.

Note
These telephones are now connected as
external devices (see Connecting an
external or extension telephone
on page 51), because they are connected
to the fax machine via the T-connector.
Using a cordless external
telephone (MFC-680CN only)
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension telephones on page 51) and you
typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Speaker Phone to send the call to the
cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Remote Activation code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. See Fax Detect
on page 42. Your caller will have to press
Start to send the fax.
Remote Deactivation code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(make sure you press this between the rings).
