Connections - Brother FAX 355MC Owner's Manual

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax
machine and TAD will both try to control the line.
You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you
subscribe to your telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service, have
registered the distinctive ring pattern on your fax machine and use that
number as a fax number and set your fax machine's Answer mode to
MANUAL.
