DSL Connection

In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the device to the slot intended for analogue

telephones/fax machines! For additional information, please consult the operating manual

of your DSL system. Ask your telephone or internet service provider if necessary.

ISDN Connection

Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not an ISDN device (Group 4), and there-

fore it cannot be operated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do this, you need either

an analogue adapter or a connection for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections

can be found in the instructions provided with the terminal adapter or the dial-up router.

Voice Mailbox

You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine facility of your telephone service pro-

vider (= voice-mail box) and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box function 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 54). When the fax switch ac-

cepts the call, the mail-box of the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your tele-

phone company.
