Using Additional Telephones
(Easylink)
· Using Additional Telephones (Easylink)
Easylink
With the Easylink function you can control your device
with additional telephones. To use this function, addi-
tional telephones must be set to the tone dialling mode
(DTMF/MFV tones) (for this purpose see the operating
manual of your additional telephone).
Starting Fax Reception
If you pick up at an additional device and hear that you
are receiving a fax (whistling tone or silence), you can
start the fax reception by pressing *5 on the addi-
tional telephone or pressing o on the device.
Taking Over the Line
If you pick up on an additional telephone and the device
continues to ring or attempts to receive a fax, you can
disconnect the device from the line. Press ** on
the additional telephone.

Using an External Answering
Machine
For the best operation, the answering machine must be
connected to the EXT socket of the device. The num-
bers of rings set for the external answering machine
should be less than the one set under FAX RINGS by
at least two.
Example of the setting:
Number of Rings of the External Answering Machine 1
FAX RINGS3
(see also chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 29)
External Answering Machine
Using an External Answering Machine
If the external answering machine has a “conserving
function” (i.e. a function that changes the number of
rings as soon as new messages have been recorded),
switch it off.
If the external answering machine records fax signals,
but your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the con-
nection of the external answering machine.
Direct Connection Recommended
We recommend direct connection to the de-
vice because this allows the fax switch to func-
tion optimally and to control the additional
devices.
Connection to the First Telephone
Socket
If you have multiple telephone sockets for the
same telephone line, the device must be con-
nected to the first telephone socket.
CAUTION!
Changing Easylink Codes!
Only change the codes if it is absolutely neces-
sary. The codes must begin with * or #
and must be different.
External Answering Machine
The outgoing message must be shorter than ten
seconds. Avoid music in your announcement.
