Using an External Answering
Machine
For the best operation, the answering machine must be
connected to the
EXT
socket of the device. The numbers
of rings set for the external answering machine should be
less than the one set under
FAX RINGS
by at least two.
Example of the setting:
Number of Rings of the External Answering Machine .. 1
FAX RINGS
..............................................................
3
(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 36)
External Answering Machine
If the external answering machine has a “conserving func-
tion” (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as
soon as new messages have been recorded), deactivate this
function.
If the external answering machine records fax signals, but
your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of
the external answering machine
Notice
Direct Connection Recommended
We recommend direct connection to the device
because this allows the fax switch to function
optimally and to control the additional devices.
CAUTION!
Changing Easylink Codes!
Only change the codes if it is absolutely neces-
sary. The codes must begin with
*
or
#
and
must be different.
Notice
External Answering Machine
The outgoing message must be shorter than ten
seconds. Avoid music in your announcement.
