Multi-Line Connections (Pabx); External And Extension Telephones; Operation From Extension Telephones - Brother MFC-7340 User Manual

Multi-Line connections
(PABX)
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC
machines be connected to a discreet
(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX
may appear to work with a particular model of
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the
unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.

Note
You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to On to use the Remote Activation
code l51 and Remote Deactivation code
#51. (See Using remote codes
on page 51.)
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the
Remote Activation code. When you press the
Remote Activation code l51 the machine
starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
machine's LCD shows Receiving, and then
hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine tactically take the call.
(See Fax Detect on page 43.)
