You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are
two ways to add a two-line telephone to the fax machine’s wall outlet. You
can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the
TEL jack of the two-line TAD.
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively
simple to connect the fax 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 fax machine for you. It is
advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
fax machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the fax 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.
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 fax machine
cannot be made.
