We need more information than that. For example are you starting with a network cable and want to send fax through it as well or just fax? The network cable has 8wires split into 4 pairs. However ony two pairs carry data. If you take a look at the adapter. One sise has one jack the other side has two. The side that has one jack has 8 pins on it (RJ45) and the other side has one 8 pin and one 4 pin jack (RJ11/16) It can be used to combine or split signals. If you are using a network cable. To transport a fax signal through it you'd plug in your "juice" into the side with two jacks then run to the location and at the location use another and plug a standard phone cord from it to the fax.

Actually, your fax machine has 2 rj11 jacks, one for your house/apt wall jack and the other for a telephone. Assuming your DSL service provides telephone service as well, you can plug the 2wire dsl modem to the wall, then plug the GE Duplex to the 2wire dsl modem, and then plug your printer/faxmachine "to the wall" jack to one of the 2 jacks on it. You should have one more free jack on the GE Duplex splitter, since you can use the printer/faxmachine's "to the telephone" jack for your phone if you need to...Good Luck !

This is for fax/tel, if you have dial-up maybe but I would use wireless router and wireless usb adapter connected the desktop computer instead, I used this to hook up to my fax machine

Yes. Just make sure you get a splitter if you have it on a fax/computer line.

Go to the DiMax website & it will show you how to connect it. You will need 2 cables & you should have a power supply that plugs into the unit. The power supply should have come with the unit.

Yes, you connect it to the house line. You might need to configure the program that you use, such as your fax software, to make sure it it pointing to the modem. Windows Uodate should automatically download and install the necessary driver. If it doesn't, try connecting the modem to a different USB port.

I have Windows 7 32-bit and can send faxes. I did go to a third party site www.rtopro.com/videohirovist.htm for instructions and a possible download. That was a while ago so don't know if it is still a viable site.

Further to the last response, you have to have a "land line" for the modem to work. If you want to send faxes long distance, you have to have long distance available from your provider and set the pre-dial number (i.e. 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) or whatever its called. The system does work. Dave

You can use it for a fax. Add a dedicated line to the ooma office, hook it up through an Ooma Linx. Make sure that particular line is set as a fax.

You can fax from this unit (you only need to plug it into a phone cord); however, this would be one of the worst things you could do. Why? Doing so would mean that you've actually purchased this printer. If you send me $300, I'd be happy to burn it for you - you'll be much more satisfied with the result.

The setup for this is a bit complicated to understand, but possible. This unit's user manual is poorly written if you don't understand the terms and about the different rings and stuff. I had to find a Brother fax setup manual online to figure out these different ringing functions. The manufacturer puts great stock in connecting your phone to the output jack on the AIO, but it just complicates things, IMHO. By the way, I have the 780 but I believe the fax setup is the same for both units. I would hook up the phone and fax using a splitter if they use the same wall jack or just plug both into different wall jacks as the case may be. If you want to be able to receive faxes while away and not have to babysit the RX you can do so. One annoyance I feel this machine has is that it will not receive a fax if the Fax button is not pressed. It defaults to Copy on startup and you need to change this setting to Fax. If you don't it will do everything it needs to do when a fax comes in. Answer the call, beep, do its bump and grind and then botch the RX and print out a failure report. I asked tech support if I could set the default mode to Fax and they told me No, and that Canon wasn't interested in fixing this. My question is why have the machine do everything but receive the fax? Why have it go through all that just to botch it? They could give me no answer. OK, back to the original question. If you want to use the phone line for both voice and occasional fax and not have to be there to RX you can do so. Set your RX SETTINGS to FAX/TEL AUTO SW, RING START TIME to 9SEC, F/T SWITCH ACTION to DISCONNECT, RING COUNT to 8X. Note that the ring count is not set in stone. This is the setting that lets you decide how many rings will occur on your phone before the fax machine wakes up and answers the call. The default is two rings, which is why your machine is intruding in on your voice calls. For me 8 rings was long enough to get to the phone and answer the (voice) call, but this is your decision.

The back of the printer has a port for a standard phone/fax line, which is supplied with the printer. THis fax line has only two contacts instead of the stardard 4 that most phone lines have. Connect this to the proper port and run the fax setup program from the touch panal on the printer. If this is a dedicated and separate line you should be good. If it a shared line with distinctive ring you will need to set the number of rings before the fax comes through. This may take some playing with to get it right. Follow the instructions in the setup program. Good luck. Printer works great in all functions. The back of the printer has a port for a standard phone/fax line, which is supplied with the printer.

I don't know. I had hoped to use it for my fax machine and be able to move it to another room but it did not work for that. The fax would connect but the signal wasn't strong enough to actually receive it before the sending machine disconnected.

I have been able to fax using a Magic Jack connected to the machine, as long as I was only sending or receiving 1 or 2 pages at a time. 3 pages and up seem to fail. There are tweaks on line to allow the user to set the router for magic jack for faxing. I have not tried them.

the instructions say to plug into a phone jack, it think in the room. I had a phone jack across the room and it worked. I don't know if it would work from a jack in another room. Also, the part that the fax machine plugs into mus b plugged directly int the electrical outlet, no power strip. Hopes this helps
