CHAPTER TWO
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways
may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the
wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an
RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex
adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11
jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). Plug the fax
machine into Line 2 of the triplex adapter.

Installing Fax 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 fax machine must be isolated on one
line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is
to put the fax machine on Line 2. 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 fax
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 the two-line telephone next to your fax machine.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the
L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on
the left side of the fax 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.
