Services
Private Branch Exchanges
Private Branch Exchanges
Private branch exchanges (PABX) are typical in many of-
fices and private households. You must dial an outside line
access code in order to establish a connection with the pub-
lic telephone network (PSTN) from an extension.
External Device Not Extension
An additional telephone connected to the machine
on a telephone socket is not considered an extension.
1 Press OK, 96 and OK.
2 Use [ to set whether you operate your machine on an
extension.
3 Confirm with OK.
4 Configuring an extension: Enter the outside line
access code with which you reach the public telephone
network. This is usually 0.
In rare cases, the outside line access code may be
a different number or a two-digit number. For
older telephone systems, the outside line access
code can be R (= Flash). Press R to enter this out-
side line access code. Should a connection to the
public telephone network not be possible, contact
the provider of your telephone system.
5 Confirm with OK.
6 When finished, the machine tests the telephone line.
Confirm with OK.
7 Your machine checks whether it can establish a connec-
tion with the public telephone network. If it cannot estab-
lish the connection, you are once again asked for input.
DSL Connection
In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the ma-
chine after the modem. For additional information, please
consult the operating manual of your DSL system.
ISDN Connection
Details for ISDN connections can be found in the instructions
provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up router.
Voice Mailbox
You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine fa-
cility of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box)
and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box func-
tion for your telephone connection deactivated or set the
number of rings for the fax switch to lower than 5 on your
device (also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, Page 24).
When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the
service provider does not step in. Enquire with your tele-
phone company.

Connecting Additional Devices
Additional Devices
You can operate additional devices on a telephone line,
such as cordless telephones, answering machines, modems
or charge counters.
Connection to the device
EXT socket adapter
Connect additional devices only with the provid-
ed adapter to the EXT socket.
EXT connection adapter
You can connect additional devices to the EXT socket of
your device using the enclosed adapter. In this way, the fax
switch functions optimally and can control the additional
devices. Insert the RJ-11 plug of the adapter in the EXT
socket of your device. Connect the additional device to the
adapter.
Never connect additional devices directly to the EXT
socket.

Connection to the Telephone Line
Line terminal
The device is a line terminal. That is, you cannot connect
additional telephone or additional devices serially down-
stream of the device to the same telephone socket.
Last telephone socket
If you have several telephone sockets for the same
connection, the device must be connected to the last
telephone socket.
Using Additional Telephones (Ea-
sylink)
Easylink
With the Easylink function, you can control your machine
with additional telephones. To use this function, addition-
al telephones must be set to tone dialling (DTMF tones);
see here the user manual of your additional telephone.
Starting Fax Reception
If you pick up on an additional device and hear that you
are receiving a fax message (whistle or silence), you can
start the fax reception by pressing *5 on the additional
telephone or the o button on the machine.
Taking Over the Line
If you pick up on an additional telephone and the machine
continues to ring or attempts to receive a fax, you can dis-
connect the machine from the line. Press ** on the ad-
ditional telephone.
