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. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to FAX
Only to receive faxes any time of the day or night.
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

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.

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.
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Caller ID, RingMaster, an
answering service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one
phone line it may create a problem with the operation of your
machine. (See
Custom features on page 1-12.)
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two
wire system. If your line has more than two wires, proper
connection of the machine cannot be made.
