printer to an analog telephone port (an R-interface port) on an
ISDN terminal adapter. For more information and to request an R-
interface port, contact your ISDN provider.
• If you are using DSL, then connect to a DSL filter or router that will

connecting to an analog connection on the PBX. If none exists, then
consider installing an analog telephone line for the fax machine.
