Using an External Answering
Machine
For the best opera tion, the answering machine must be
connected to the EXT socket of the device. The numbers
of rings set for the external answering machine should be
less than the one set under FAX RINGS by at least two.

(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 20)
External Answering Machine
If the external answering machine has a “conserving func-
tion” (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as
soon as new messages have been recorded), deactivate this
function.
If the external answering machine records fax signals, but
your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of
the external answering machine

We recommend direct connection to the device
because this allows the fax switch to function
optimally and to control the additional devices.

same telephone line, th e device must be con -
nected to the first telephone socket.

sary. The codes must begin with * or # and
