20 CHAPTER TWO Converting Telephone Wall Outlets There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). Plug the MFC into Line 2 of the triplex adapter. Triplex Adapter RJ14 RJ11 RJ14 Installing MFC, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line Telephone When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your MFC must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the MFC on Line 2. The two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your MFC and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone. 1 Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your MFC. 2 Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your MFC into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back side of the MFC. 3 Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD. 4 Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the back side of the MFC.
