How to Use an External TAD with the MFC

When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will
answer all the incoming calls. Your Brother MFC will listen in on the line for fax CNG
tones. If it hears them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does
not hear fax tones, it will let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the
caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings. The MFC can not hear the CNG calling tones
until the TAD answers the call. When the Ring Delay is set for 4 rings, only 8-10
seconds of CNG calling tones are left for the "handshake". So you must strictly follow
the instructions for recording the OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD's
memory is full it will not answer any incoming calls (fax or voice).
