C) CONNECTING TO A TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD)
How to Use an External TAD with the MFC
When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will
answer all the incoming calls. Your Brother MFC will listen in on the line for fax CNG
tones. If it hears them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does
not hear fax tones, it will let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the
caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings (2 rings are recommended). The MFC can not
hear the CNG calling tones until the TAD answers the call. When the Ring Delay is
set for 4 rings, only 8-10 seconds of CNG calling tones are left for the “handshake”.
So you must strictly follow the instructions for recording the OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD’s
memory is full it will not answer any incoming calls (fax or voice).
For MFC 6550MC/7550MC, set Message Storage to VOICE: EXT mode. For MFC
4550, set the MFC’s answer mode to TAD mode. (See page 6-1, 9-2.)
