Connecting a fax machine
You can connect an ITU-T Group 3 fax
machine to the base via the FAX port.
1. Insert one end of the fax connection ca-
ble from the rear into the recess in the
housing.
2. Plug the jack into the fax port on the base
(labelled: FAX).
3. Connect the fax connection cable to the
port on the fax machine.
You do not explicitly have to register the fax
machine to the base. It is automatically "reg-
istered", once you activate the FAX port on
the base (
¢
page 130, default setting is
"off").
Once the FAX port is switched on, the fax
machine is added to the list of internal par-
ties with the internal name INT 8.
The fax machine is assigned all of the base's
numbers as receive connections. The first
number from the configuration is assigned
as a send connection. You can change the
assignment (
¢ page 128).
Please note
When connecting a multifunction device
(fax/phone) to the FAX port, you must
observe the following:
u There is no ringing tone when you
pick up.
u CLIP
(¢ page 53) is not supported
for incoming calls.
u If the answering machine takes a call
on the device's receive connection, it
continues to ring.
u If the device's receive connection is
assigned neither to the base nor a
handset, calls are not transferred to
the call lists.
u Internal functions such as "internal
consultation call during an external
call" or "internal transfer" are not sup-
ported.

Please note
If a number is only assigned to the fax
machine as a receive connection, then
calls to this number will not be entered in
the call lists (it is not possible to read the
entries from the base or a handset).
