Making Connections Connecting the Telephone Line and External Devices The MultiPASS has three jacks on the back for connection of the telephone line, a telephone, and an additional external device such as an extension phone, answering machine, or data modem. If you only have one telephone line and plan to use the MultiPASS for receiving both faxes and voice calls, you will need to connect a telephone and/or an answering machine to the unit. Be sure to connect any external device before using your MultiPASS. Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line and external devices: 1 Connect the supplied telephone line to the L jack, then connect the other end of the line to the telephone jack on your wall. 2 Connect the line from the telephone to the h jack. 3 Connect the line from the extension phone, answering machine, or data modem to the t jack. n • If you have connected an external device to the MultiPASS, be sure to select the correct receive mode. (1 Chapter 8, Receiving Faxes) • To connect an extension phone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension phone to the answering machine, and then the answering machine to the MultiPASS. • If you connect a modem to your MultiPASS and you use it extensively or others access your PC frequently through the modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for your modem. 2-6 Setting Up Chapter 2
