Connecting a fax machine
To operate a fax machine or a combination device (e.g. fax with telephone), the device
type setting should be changed to Fax or Neutral.
For problem-free fax operation regardless of the settings of the remote terminal, the
device type setting Neutral is recommended (with the Fax setting, a successful fax con-
nection depends on the settings of the remote terminal).
If you only want to make external connections, automatic line seizure for the associated
TAE connection must remain activated. In this case, the fax machine or combination
device should be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to make internal connections, automatic line sei-
zure for the associated TAE connection must be deactivated. For external connections,
it is then necessary to either dial a zero before each number or set the fax machine or
combination device to "Operation on PABX" (see fax machine or combination device
operating instructions).
Use the opportunity to assign the fax a separate phone number (MSN). Assign the cor-
responding TAE connection an exclusive receive MSN (see handset operating instruc-
tions).
In the device type setting Fax, Call waiting and Hunt group are not supported.
In the device type setting Neutral, Call waiting is not supported. When connecting a
fax only device, Hunt group should be deactivated (see handset operating instruc-
tions).
Connecting a modem
To operate a modem, the device type setting must be changed to Modem.
If you only want to make external connections, automatic line seizure for the associated
TAE connection must remain activated (see handset operating instructions). In this case,
the modem should be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to make internal connections, automatic line sei-
zure for the associated TAE connection must be deactivated. For external connections,
it is then necessary to either dial a zero before each number or set the modem to "Oper-
ation on PABX" (see modem operating instructions).
Connecting an answering machine
If you want to operate an answering machine (or a telephone with integrated answering
machine) on the TAE connection, the device type setting Answering mach. is recom-
mended. In this setting, the answering machine can pick up a call.
If a telephone with integrated answering machine is connected and you want to use this
telephone to make internal calls, automatic line seizure for the associated TAE connec-
tion must be deactivated (see handset operating instructions). For external calls, it is
then necessary to dial a zero first.
In the device type setting Answering mach., Call waiting and Hunt group are not sup-
ported (see handset operating instructions).
