FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Connecting Your Machine to a Multi Line system (PBXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively
simple to connect the machine 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 machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave
the machine in Fax Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer
to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This will prevent the unit
from being activated each time a telephone call is received.
• As with all fax units this machine must be connected to a two wire phone
system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the
machine can not be made.
Connecting to a Private Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the
machine to work with a private branch exchange(PBX).
1)It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with PBXs. 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 Answer Mode be set to Manual. (See page 6-1-2
of the Operation s Manual.) All incoming calls should initi ally be regarded
as telephone calls.
3)The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone types.
