Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the MFC 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.
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

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate properly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.

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.

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID,
RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom

of your MFC. (See
