SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE
FOR Y OUR INFORMATION
Multi Line Connections (PABXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect
the machine to a key system or a PABX (private automatic branch exchange), we suggest
that you contact the company which installed your telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the machine
in FAX mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the
unit to the last line on the system. This will prevent the unit from being activated each time
a telephone call is received.
Connecting to a Private Automatic Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the machine to work as an
extension to a private automatic branch exchange (PABX).
1) It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with
PABXs. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles
your PABX.
2) If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that
the Answer Mode be set to be MANUAL; see chap. 7. All incoming calls should initially
be regarded as telephone calls.
3) The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone lines.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) (For U.K. only)
This equipment has a REN value of 1. A BT line has a “bell ringing” capacity, or REN, of
4. This means that adding downstream-connected extension telephones and/or extension
bells to a total REN of greater than 4 may cause a r eduction in the bell volume. In extreme
cases, it may cause the auto-answer facility of the machine to fail.
Therefor e, up to thr ee additional extension telephones (each assuming a REN of 1), may be
connected downstream of your machine. For an explanation of “downstream connection,
read “Using extension telephones” which follows.
Unless otherwise marked, a telephone provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN value
of 1.

SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE - CHAPTER 1

FOR YOUR INFORMATION (For U.K.)
Using extension telephones
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or
you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While
the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, ther e are some r easons
as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which
is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension
telephone in order to make an outgoing call. Additionally, remote activation may not
operate reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a
pre-set time). This pr e-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your
extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of
your machine, in a master/slave configuration. In such a configuration, this machine
can always detect whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line
during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the recommended master/
slave configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting BT, Kingston
upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone
installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone cir cuit
should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should
be inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as part
of the line cord assembly.
