Special line considerations
Two-line phone system
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone
numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on
separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your
machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks
may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four
wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a
two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must
separate the line for your machine. (See
EXT. TEL. RX on page 5-4.)
Converting telephone wall outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways
may require assistance from the telephone company. You can
change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or,
you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of
the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a
triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1
and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the
triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple
adapter.
