Private Branch Exchanges
Private branch exchanges (PABX) are typical in many of-
fices and private households. You must dial an outside line
access code in order to establish a connection with the pub-
lic telephone network (PSTN) from an extension.

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
Details for ISDN connections can be found in the instruc-
tions provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up
router.
Voice Mailbox
You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine fa-
cility of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail box)
and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box func-
tion 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 24).
When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the
service provider does not step in. Enquire with your tele-
phone company.

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
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 outside line access
code. Should a connection to the public telephone
network not be possible, contact the provider of your
telephone system.
If you are using a cordless telephone with SMS func-
tion on the same line, then the specific device at
which you will receive an SMS message will depend
on the specific manufacturer. Only one of the devices
will receive the SMS message. Try to turn off the
SMS reception on your cordless telephone.
We recommend direct connection to the machine
because this allows the fax switch to function opti-
mally 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.
