Telephone Services and External Devices
You may be able to use the following services and connections with your Brother machine.
These are summaries of ways to connect your machine. For more information about each
topic, see the
Online User's Guide
.
Voice Mail
If you have a Voice Mail service on the
telephone line that your Brother machine is
connected to, it may conflict with your Brother
machine when receiving incoming faxes. If
using this service, we suggest setting the
Brother machine's Receive Mode to Manual.
Distinctive Ring (For some
countries)
Distinctive Ring is a telephone-company
service that allows you to have two different
phone numbers on a single line. Each
telephone number has its own ring pattern.
You can program your Brother machine to
receive faxes automatically on one of the two
numbers.
FaxAbility (For New
Zealand)
FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that
allows you to have an additional number on
one phone line, with its own distinctive ring
pattern. This way, when you get an incoming
call, you can identify the number being called
by its ring.
Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)
VoIP is a type of phone system that uses an
Internet connection instead of a traditional
telephone line. Your machine may not work
with some VoIP systems. If you have
questions about how to connect your machine
to a VoIP system, contact your VoIP provider.
Connection of an External
Telephone Answering
Device (TAD)
You may choose to connect an external
answering device to your Brother machine. To
receive faxes successfully, you must connect
it correctly. When recording an outgoing
message on your external TAD, we
recommend recording 5 seconds of silence at
the beginning of your message, and limiting
your speaking to 20 seconds. Set your
machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD.
External and Extension
Telephones
You can connect a separate telephone to your
machine. If you answer a fax call on an
extension or external telephone, you can
make your machine receive the fax by
pressing
* 5 1
(
* 9 1
for New Zealand). If the
machine answers a voice call and pseudo/
double-rings for you to take over, press
# 5 1
(
# 9 1
for New Zealand) to take the call on an
extension telephone.
