LOCATION AND CONNECTIONS
Installing Brother Machine, External Two-Line TAD and Two-Line
Telephone
When you are installing an
external
two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a
two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD.
The most common connection is to put the Brother machine on Line 2,
which is our assumption in the following steps
. The back of the two-line TAD must have
two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at
least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your
external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
1
Place the two-line TAD and two-line telephone next to your Brother machine.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex
adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.
3
Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
4
Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the
two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the back of the machine.
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 machines 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. (See Easy Receive, page 5-4.)
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.
