Multi-line connections (PBX)

Most offices use a central telephone system.
While it is often relatively simple to connect
the machine to a key system or a PBX
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that
you contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the machine for you. It is advisable to have a
separate line for the machine.
If the machine is to be connected to a
multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system.
This prevents the unit from being activated
each time a telephone call is received.
If you are installing the machine to
work with a PBX
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will
operate properly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of
difficulty should be reported first to the
company that handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by
a switchboard operator, it is
recommended that the Receive Mode
be set to Manual . All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone
calls.
3
Make sure the Phone Line Type is set to
PBX. (See Setting the Phone Line Type
on page 2-3.)
