Connect the fax machine to an extension line of the private branch exchange
(PABX). In order to operate your fax machine on an extension, you need to
enter the appropriate settings in function 15.
Your fax machine does not support private branch exchanges, which need the
earth signal to obtain an outside line. Please refer to your PABX manual.
Tone or pulse dialling/PABX setting
In function 15 you can both select tone or pulse dialling and whether or not you are connected to a private branch
exchange.
Tone or pulse dialling
Your phone can dial in two different ways. Older telephone networks usually work with pulse dialling whilst modern, digital
systems use tone dialling, which is the fastest dialling mode.
You can change the dialling mode of your fax machine. If you do not know which mode is supported by your telephone
line, contact your telephone company.
If you cannot establish the desired telephone/fax connection to the called party, select a
different dialling mode.
There are no general regulations for home telephone systems. Therefore we cannot provide you with generally valid
operating rules. Refer to the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer.
If your telephone network works on pulse dialling, you can still send tone signals by pressing the
∗
key or the
#
key. All numbers are then transmitted in the tone dialling method. As soon as you replace the handset
on the fax machine, your fax machine will switch back to pulse dialling.
