Multi-Line Connections (Pabx); External And Extension Telephones; Connecting An External Or Extension Telephone - Brother MFC-7240 Basic User's Manual

Chapter 7
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Fax Activation
Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand). (See
Using Remote Codes uu page 39.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine may not hear the fax tones over
a voice. You may try leaving out this
pause, but if your machine has trouble
receiving faxes, then you should re-record
the OGM to include it.

Multi-line connections (PABX)

Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC
machines be connected to a discreet
(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX
may appear to work with a particular model of
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the
unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.
