ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
2 - 11
Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your
FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 51 and Start.”
Special Line Considerations
Roll-Over Phone Lines
A roll-over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that
pass incoming calls each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed
down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your FAX/MFC can work in a roll-over system as long as it is the last number
in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the FAX/MFC on any
of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call would
be received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine.
Your FAX/MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
Two-Line Phone System
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on
the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11)
or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your FAX/MFC must be plugged into an
RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both
may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug
in a two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate
the line for your FAX/MFC. (See
Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
