  Special Line Considerations  Roll Over Phone Lines  A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass 
incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or 
“rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your fax machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the 
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the fax machine on any of the other...

  Installing Brother Machine, 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 machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and 
at the TAD.

which is our assumption in the following steps

two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and...

If You Are Installing the Fax Machine to Work with a PBX:

PBX.
2If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended 
that the Receive Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be 
regarded as telephone calls.
3The unit may be used with either pulse...

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device 
(TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system.  When you have an 
external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all 
calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax 
machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax 
machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your...
