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.
External Device Not Extension
An additional telephone connected to the machine
on a telephone socket is not considered an extension.

tion with the public telephone network. If it cannot es-
tablish the connection, you are once again asked for in-

Outside Line Access Code Error
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.

consult the operating manual of your DSL system.

tions provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up

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 18).
When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of the
service provider does not step in. Enquire with your tele-
phone 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 Machine
You can connect additional devices directly to your ma-
chine. Plug the telephone cable of the additional device
into the B socket (RJ-11 connection) of your machine.
Connecting Additional Devices
Connecting in Serial
We recommend direct connection to the machine
because this allows the fax switch to function opti-
mally and to control the additional devices.
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
If you have multiple telephone sockets for the same
telephone line, the machine must be connected to
the first telephone socket.
Using Additional Telephones (Ea-
sylink)
Easylink
With the Easylink function, you can control your machine
with additional telephones. To use this function, addition-
al telephones must be set to tone dialling (DTMF tones);
see here the user manual of your additional telephone.
Starting Fax Reception
If you pick up on an additional device and hear that you
are receiving a fax message (whistle or silence), you can
start the fax reception by pressing *5 on the additional
telephone or the G button on the machine.
