Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways may
require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlet from
one RJ 14 jack to two RJ 11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ 11 wall outlet installed and
slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest. Buy a
triplex adapter.
You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 wall outlet. It will separate the wires into
two separate RJll jacks (line 1, line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (lines 1 and 2). Plug the
fax machine into L2 of the triplex adapter.

Installing a Fax Machine, Two Line TAD and Two Line Telephone
When you are installing a two line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two line
telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the fax machine on line 2. The back
of the two line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1 and L2 and
the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords: the one that
came with your fax machine and two for your two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line cord if you add a two line telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone beside your fax machine. Plug one end
of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine. Plug one end
of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the L1 or L1 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine. The two line TAD hookup is complete. It will answer both lines as usual.
You can keep two line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways
to add a two line telephone to the fax machine's wall outlet. Plug the telephone line
cord from the two line telephone into the LI+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. If you
prefer, you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.
