Multi-Line Connections (PBX)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple
to connect the MFC to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we
suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and
ask them to connect the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for
the MFC. You can then leave the MFC in FAX mode to receive faxes any time
of day or night.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being
activated each time a telephone call is received.
As with all fax units, this MFC must be connected to a two wire system.
If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the MFC cannot be
made.

If You are Installing the MFC to Work with a PBX:

1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances
with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that
handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
recommended that the Receive mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3
The MFC may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.

Custom Features on Your Phone Line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an
answering service, an alarm system, or other custom feature on one phone line,
it may create a problem with the operation of your MFC. (See
with custom features on a single line
, page 21-7.)
