Operating with other devices

Connecting telephones

By default, the analogue connection is set to Telephone.
For details of making calls using wire-based telephones, see section "Making calls with
devices on the analogue connection (TAE connection)", page 132.
If you also want to use this telephone to make internal calls, automatic line seizure for
the associated analogue connection must be deactivated (page 132). All numbers must
then be prefixed by a zero for external calls.
Connecting a fax machine
To operate a fax machine or a combination device (e.g. fax with telephone), the device
setting must be changed to Fax or Neutral.
For smooth operation of the fax, regardless of the settings of the remote terminal, the
device type setting Neutral is recommended (with the Fax setting, a successful fax
connection depends on the settings of the remote terminal).
If you only want to establish external connections, automatic line seizure for the
associated analogue connection must remain activated. In this case, the fax machine or
combination device should be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to use this telephone for internal connections,
automatic line seizure for the associated analogue connection must be deactivated
(page 132). External numbers must then be prefixed with a zero, or the fax machine or
combination device switched to "Operate on PABX" (see operating instructions for fax
machine or combination device).
Take the opportunity to assign the fax a separate phone number (MSN). Assign the
corresponding analogue connection an exclusive receive MSN (page 96).
The device type setting Fax does not support Call waiting and Hunt group.
The device type setting Neutral does not support Call waiting. When connecting a fax
machine only, Hunt group should be deactivated (page 104).
Connecting a modem
To operate a modem, the device type setting should be changed to Modem.
If you only want to establish external connections, automatic line seizure for the
associated analogue connection must remain activated. In this case, the modem must
be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to establish internal connections, automatic line
seizure for the associated analogue connection must be deactivated (see Page 132).
External numbers must then be prefixed with a zero, or the modem switched to
"Operate on PABX" (see operating instructions for modem).
