Multi-Line Connections (Pabx); If You Are Installing The Fax Machine To Work With A Pabx; Custom Features On Your Phone Line - Brother FAX-T96 User Manual

Multi-Line Connections (PABX)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or 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. It is advisable to have a separate
line for the Fax machine. You can then leave the Fax machine in FAX
ONLY mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the Fax 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
prevents 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 system. If your line has more than two wires, proper
connection of the Fax machine cannot be made.

If you are Installing the Fax machine to Work with a PABX

1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PABX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to MANUAL . All
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

Custom features on your phone line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering
service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone line
it may create a problem with the operation of your fax machine. (See
Custom features on a single line. on page 13-7.)
