Telephone Services and External Devices You may be able to use the following services and connections with your Brother machine. These are summaries of ways to connect your machine. For more information about each topic, see the Online User's Guide. Voice Mail If you have Voice Mail service and your Brother machine on the same line, they will conflict with one another when receiving incoming calls. If you want the Brother machine to share a single line with your Voice Mail, you must either put the Brother machine's in Manual Mode or subscribe to your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service. Distinctive Ring Distinctive Ring is a telephone-company service that allows you to have two different phone numbers on a single line. Each telephone number has its own ring pattern. You can program your Brother machine to receive faxes automatically on one of the two numbers. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) VoIP is a phone system that uses an Internet connection instead of a traditional telephone line. Telephone providers frequently bundle VoIP with Internet and cable services. Your Brother machine may not work with some VoIP systems. For more information, contact your VoIP provider. Connection of an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Your Brother machine can receive faxes automatically when it shares a line with an external TAD. You must connect the TAD to the jack labeled EXT. on the Brother machine and set the machine's Receive Mode to External TAD. External and Extension Telephones You can connect a separate telephone to the jack labeled EXT. on the Brother machine. If you answer an incoming fax on the external telephone, you can make the machine receive it by pressing * 5 1, or by pressing Fax Start, and then choosing Receive. If you answer an incoming fax on an extension telephone that shares the line with the Brother machine, you can transfer the fax to the machine by pressing * 5 1. If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, press # 5 1 to take the call on an extension telephone. 32
