INSTALLATION
If you are not using FAX, choose the data
device that most of your incoming calls
should go to. Attach this device to the
DEVICE
1
connector on the back of your
ATX-250. Attach the other data device to
the DEVICE 2 connector.
If you are not using FAX, or if your FAX is
attached to DEVICE
1, you
should disable
auto FAX detection. Set the configuration
switch position 6 to the “down” position.
Unplug the power cord from your ATX-
250 for about 2 seconds and re-connect
it to activate the new switch settings.

Answering Machine
If you use an answering machine, attach
it to the same connector that your
telephone system is attached to. You may
either connect your telephone system
through your answering machine, if a
connector is provided on the answering
machine for that purpose, or you may
need to use a multi-outlet Y-adapter.
You may also want to leave instructions
on the outgoing message to instruct
callers on how to access your data
equipment. If you have a FAX attached to
DEVICE 2, remember to give out your
device selection code for access to your
FAX, so that callers with manually dialed
FAX machines can send you messages
while you are not there. A sample
message might be:
“Hello, this is
,
If you
would like to leave a FAX message,
press star-two to ring our FAX
machine. If you would like to leave a
voice message, please begin speaking
after the tone. Thank you for calling.”

When installing your ATX-250 there are
three general principles to keep in mind:
5.6.1
Your ATX-250 must be the
only device directly connected to the
telephone company’s incoming line.
There cannot be any extensions or data
devices connected in parallel with your
ATX-250 on this line. All extensions and
data devices must be connected to one
of the DEVICE ports on the back of your
ATX-250.
