MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Triplex Adapter
Two Line Phone
External Two Line TAD Fax 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 MFC’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 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.
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.
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 Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.
