Hooking up a fax to Merlin Magix

[darrellx]

I have Merlin Magix system with 3 lines coming in from the phone company. I am trying to hook up a fax machine to one of the lines but can't seem to figure out how it works. Any help
would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is your MAGIX equipped with any 016-TRR Modules?

If so, you have what it takes to connect the Fax to the phone system, but there are a lot of things to consider, not to mention programming and such.

Thanks Merlinman. Fax is on dedicated line so we just bypassed the system for simplicity.

Thanks for your reply.

Fax/CO lines are a resource that is very under-utilized at most locations, at least in my world, so I always add it as a CO line to the Magix system and assign it to a button on some phones and set the button for no ring. I instruct the customer to use it to call out only, and show them what it looks like when the fax is in use.
I use a spare analog extension in the Magix, set (auto line sel)to grab the CO Fax line (801->?)first.
