Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require
assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from
one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed
and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter
into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1,
Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your MFC is on Line 1, plug
the MFC into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your MFC is on Line 2, plug it into L2
of the triplex adapter.
Installing MFC, External Two-Line TAD and Two-Line Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device
(TAD) and a two-line telephone, your MFC must be isolated on one line at both
the wall jack and at the TAD.
The most common connection is to put the MFC
on Line 2. The two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or
L1/L2, and the other labeled L2, which is explained in the following Steps. You
will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your MFC
and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you
add a two-line telephone.
1
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your MFC.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your MFC into the L2 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of the
MFC.
3
Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of
the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line
TAD.
