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 MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line
for the MFC. You can then leave the MFC in FAX mode to receive faxes any
time of day or night.
If the MFC 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 MFC to Work with a PBX:
1
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.
2
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.
3
The MFC may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service (For
Canada only).
Custom Features on a Your Phone Line
To learn how custom features may affect your faxing operations,
See Chapter 20,
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance.
Custom Features on a Single Line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an
answering service, or an alarm system custom feature on one phone line, it may
create a problem with the operation of your fax machine. (See
I have difficulty
with custom features on a single line. , page 20-10.)
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 MFC cannot be
made.
