Connecting An External Tad (Telephone Answering Device) - Brother MFC-J410 Basic User's Manual

Chapter 6
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 36.) 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.
