Special
Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system
is a group of two or more separate
telephone
lines that pass
incoming
calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually
passed down or
"rolled
over" to the next available
phone line in a preset order.
Your fax machine
carl work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number
in the
sequence,
so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the fax machine
on arty of the other
numbers;
when the other lines are busy arrd a second
fax call is received,
the fax call
is transferred
to a line ttmt does not have a fax machine.
Your fax machine
will work
best on a dedicated
line.
Two-Line Phone System
A two-line
phone
system
is nothing
more than two separate
phone numbers
on the
same ,:,,all outlet. The two phone uumbers
can be on separate
jacks
(RJ 11 ) or
combined
into one jack (RJI4).
Your machine
must be plugged
into an RJ 11 jack.
RJ 11 arrd RJ 14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance
arrd both may contain
four
,:,,ires (black, red, green, yellow).
To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line
phone arrd
see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate
the line for your machine.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert
to an RJ l 1 receptacle.
The first two ways may require
assistance
from the telephone
company.
You can change
the wall outlets from one
RJI4 jack to two RJI 1 jacks. Or, you can have an RJI 1 ,:,,all outlet irrstalled arrd slave
or jump
one of the phone
numbers
to it.
The third way is the easiest:
Buy a triplex adapter.
You can plug a triplex adapter
irrto
an RJ 14 outlet. It separates
the wires irrto two separate
RJ 11 jacks (Line
1, Line 2) arrd
a third RJI4 jack (Lines
1 arrd 2). If your Brother
machine
is on Line 1, plug the
machine
irrto LI of the triplex
adapter.
If your machine
is on Line 2, plug it irrto L2 of
tire triplex adapter.
