Using an External Answering Machine
For the best operation, 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.
Example of the setting:
Number of Rings of the External Answering Machine............................................................................. 1
FAX RINGS ......................................................................................................................................................... 3
(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 66)
External Answering Machine
If the external answering machine has a “conserving function” (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
