Setting The Telephone Line Type; Bt Call Sign (U.k. Only) - Brother MFC-6890CDW User Manual

Chapter 7
Setting the Telephone Line
Type
If you are connecting the machine to a line
that features PBX or ISDN to send and
receive faxes, it is also necessary to change
the Telephone Line Type accordingly by
completing the following steps.
a
Press MENU.
b
Press a or b to display
Initial Setup.
c
Press Initial Setup.
d
Press a or b to display
Phone Line Set.
e
Press Phone Line Set.
f
Press PBX, ISDN (or Normal).
g
Press Stop/Exit.
PBX and TRANSFER
The machine is initially set to Normal, which
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
However, many offices use a central
telephone system or Private Branch
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be
connected to most types of PBX. The
machine's recall feature supports timed break
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to
an outside line, or transfer calls to another
extension. The feature works when the R
button on the LCD or the Tel/R key on the
control panel is pressed.

Note
You can program a press of the R button as
7
part of a number stored in a One Touch dial
or Speed Dial location. When programming
the One Touch dial or Speed Dial number,
press R first (the LCD shows '!'), then enter
the telephone number. If you do this, you do
not need to press Tel/R each time before
you dial using a One Touch dial or
Speed Dial location. (See Storing numbers
on page 74.) However, if PBX is not
chosen in the Telephone Line Type setting,
you cannot use the One Touch dial or
Speed Dial number that the R press is
programmed into.

BT Call Sign (U.K. only)

This machine feature lets you use the BT Call
Sign subscriber service which allows you to
have at least two separate telephone numbers
on one telephone line. Each telephone
number has its own distinctive ringing pattern,
7
so you know which telephone number is
ringing. This is one way you can have a
separate telephone number for your machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible
distinctive ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate a second telephone number (on the
same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.
Note
• You can switch BT Call Sign off
temporarily, then turn it back on. When
you get a new fax number, make sure you
reset this function. This machine will
automatically answer incoming calls that
use your new fax number.
• When you set the BT Call Sign feature to
ON, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Manual mode will not
respond to incoming telephone calls,
since the number you use for telephone
calls will use the normal ring pattern.
