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 back 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.
4
Plug one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of
the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into
the EXT. jack on the left side of the
MFC.
You can keep two-line telephones on other
wall outlets as always. There are two ways to
add a two-line telephone to the MFC’s wall
outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord
from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug
the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the
two-line TAD.
Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system.
While it is often relatively simple to connect
the MFC to a key system or a PBX (Private
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a
separate line for the MFC.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line
system, ask your installer to connect the unit
to the last line on the system. This prevents
the unit from being activated each time a
telephone call is received.
If you are installing the MFC to work
with a PBX
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will
operate properly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of
difficulty should be reported first to the
company that handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by
a switchboard operator, it is
recommended that the Receive Mode
be set to Manual. All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone
calls.
Custom features on your
phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering
service, an alarm system or other custom
feature on one phone line it may create a
problem with the operation of your MFC.
