Connections; Recording Outgoing Message (Ogm) On An External Tad; Multi-Line Connections (Pbx) - Brother MFC-685CW User Manual

Improper Setup
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.

Connections

The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the previous illustration.
a
Set your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)

Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
c
Set the TAD to answer calls.
d
Set the Receive Mode to Manual.
(See Choosing the Receive Mode
on page 38.)
Recording outgoing message
(OGM) on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this
message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax
reception.
a
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
b
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Telephone and External devices
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5-second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try
omitting this pause, but if your machine
has trouble receiving, then you must re-
record the OGM to include it.

Multi-line connections (PBX)

We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
7
your PBX.
If you are installing the machine to
work with a PBX
a
It is not guaranteed that the unit will work
properly under all circumstances with a
PBX. Report any cases of problems first
to the company that handles your PBX.
b
If all incoming calls will be answered by
a switchboard operator, we recommend
setting the Receive Mode to Manual. All
incoming calls should at first be
regarded as telephone calls.
