Can I share my residential line with my fax machine?
Yes. You can install the AFX-300 at any available modular
telephone jack on the telephone line. To prevent calls on other
extensions in your home (or office) from interrupting your fax
transmissions, we recommend you install a voice data guard
(available at you local Radio Shack store) at each extension
that shares the line with your fax machine.
Can I use the AFX-300 on a two-line system?
Yes. The AFX-300 will work on a 2-line system, if it is connect-
ed to one of those lines.
Can I still send faxes like I did before I installed the
switch?
Yes. Installing the switch does not affect outgoing fax opera-
tion.
Is there any special information I need to know about re-
ceiving faxes from a fax machine that uses auto-dial?
Yes. Auto-dialing fax machines must connect with the receiv-
ing fax machine usually within about 35 seconds. Otherwise,
the transmission ends. This means the combined number of
rings between the TAD (or AFX-300) and your fax machine/fax
modem should not exceed five rings. For safety’s sake, al-
ways set your fax machine/fax modem to its lowest ring delay
and/or ring number setting. Also, if you frequently receive fax
calls from overseas, you must allow extra time for the call to
connect (which means using an even lower number of com-
bined rings).
