INSTALLATION
If you are not using FAX, choose the data
device that most of your incoming calls
should go to . Attach this device to the
DEVICE 1 connector on the back of your
ATX-250 . Attach the other data device to
the DEVICE 2 connector .
If you are not using FAX, or if your FAX is
attached to DEVICE 1, you should disable
auto FAX detection . Set the configuration
switch position 6 to the "down" position .
Unplug the power cord from your ATX-
250 for about 2 seconds and re-connect
it to activate the new switch settings .
5.4.4 ADDING AN
ANSWERING MACHINE
If you use an answering machine, attach
it to the same connector that your
telephone system is attached to . You may
either connect your telephone system
through your answering machine, if a
connector is provided on the answering
machine for that purpose, or you may
need to use a multi-outlet Y-adapter .
You may also want to leave instructions
on the outgoing message to instruct
callers on how to access your data
equipment . If you have a FAX attached to
DEVICE 2, remember to give out your
device selection code for access to your
VERSA-LINK ATX-250
FAX, so that callers with manually dialed
FAX machines can send you messages
while you are not there . A sample
message might be:
"Hello, this is _______________. If you
would like to leave a FAX message,
press star-two to ring our FAX
machine. If you would like to leave a
voice message, please begin speaking
after the tone. Thank you for calling."

For a detailed description of all the opera-
tional features, and step-by-step informa-
tion on how to select them, see section 6,
