PABX Systems
PABX Systems
Private branch exchanges (PABX) are typical in many of-
fices and some households. You must dial an outside line
access code in order to get a connection to the public tele-
phone network (PSTN) from a PABX.
External Dev ice Not Extension
1 Press OK, 96 and OK.
2 In some countries you can set the dialling process to
pulse dialling or tone dialling (DTMF tones). Use [
to select the desired dialling process.
3 Confirm with OK.
4 Use [ to set whether you operate your device on an
extension.
5 Confirm with OK.
6 Configuring an extension: Enter the outside line
access code with which you reach the public telephone
network. This is usually 0.
7 Confirm with OK.
8 When finished, the device tests the telephone line.
Confirm with OK.
9 Your device checks whether it can establish a connec-
tion with the public telephone network. If it cannot es-
tablish the connection, you are once again asked for in-
put.
DSL Connection
In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the ma-
chine after the modem. For additional information, please
consult the operating manual of your DSL system.
ISDN Connection
ISDN Connecti on
Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not
an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be op-
erated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do this,
you need either an analogue adapter or a connection for
analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections can be
found in the instructions provided with the terminal
adapter or the dial-up router.
Voice-Mailbox
You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine facil-
ity of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box) and
receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box function for
your telephone connection deactivated or set the number of
rings for the fax switch to lower than
5
on your device (also
see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch,
Page 19
). When the fax
switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the service provider
does not step in. Enquire with your telephone company.
Connecting Additional Devices
Additional Devices
You can operate additional devices on a telephone line,
such as cordless telephones, answering machines, modems
or charge counters.
Connection to the Machine
Connection to the device
You can connect additional devices directly to your device.
Insert the telephone cable of the additional device into the
EXT- socket (RJ-11-connection) on the device.
Connecting Addi tional Devices
Connecting in Serial
Connection to the Telephone Line
Order of Connections
In order for the fax switch to function, the machine must
be first in the series if multiple devices are connected to the
same telephone socket. Follow the correct order.
Multiple Telephone Sockets
Using Additional Telephones (Ea-
sylink)
Easylink
With the Easylink function you can control your device
with additional telephones. To use this function, addition-
al telephones must be set to the tone dialling mode (DT-
MF/MFV tones) (for this purpose see the operating man-
ual 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 additional tele-
phone or pressing START on the device.
An additional telephone connected to the machine
on a telephone socket is not considered an extension.
Only use pulse dialling if tone dialling is not yet
activated for your telephone line.
In rare cases, the outside line access code may be
a different number or a two-digit number. For
older telephone systems, the outside line access
code can be R (= Flash). Press R to enter this out-
side line access code. If the connexion to the pub-
lic telephone network is not possible, contact
your telephone system supplier.
We recommend direct connection to the device be-
cause this allows the fax switch to function optimally
and to control the additional devices.
If you have multiple telephone sockets for the same
telephone line, the machine must be connected to
the first telephone socket.
