I'm afraid I don't understand your question. This device does only one thing, it allows you to access the internet (which you get from Comcast, Century Link, or some other internet provider). One cable comes out of it which you can plug to your computer to access the internet, or plug to a "router" if you want to have a wireless network in your home. If my answer isn't helpful, maybe you can give me more details of what you are trying to accomplish...

Hi Stella, Short answer is "Yes". You will need to purchase a phone jack "Y" connector and enough phone wire to get to your fax machine from the base. The closer the better! Unplug the phone wire going to the Panasonic Base. Plug that phone wire into one of the "Y" inputs. Plug the "Y" connector back into the Panasonic Base. Use the purchased phone wire to come from the other "Y" input into your fax machine and you're good to go. No phone calls while you're using the fax.Steve

Website specifies that an Analog phone line is required.... However, if your voip service supports faxing (not all do) it may be possible if you have an analog adapter. (ATA device) The software doesn't allow your computer to send the fax directly through the computer modem.

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax. doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable? You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...

No it does not need a dedicated line. I use a phone cuplar to use my phone and fax at the same time. There are actually 3 modes for answer, fax only; fax/tel, and manual which you have to physical answer when a fax is being received. I hope this helps.

You only need the phone line for the fax, so if you don't need it then there is no problem. We don't have a phone line attached to it.

I don't get what u r doing. I will pick up if u r not home, but what if u pick the phone up and hear a fax tone, Can u send a code on the keypad to have the fax pick up while u r in another room?Can u use an answerphone to get voice messages?I used Norton Fax software. It was nice because it did Fax and Voice on the same line and put everything on your hard drive. I hoped hardware could do this without the PC.Is there any hope?

Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only. Faxes can be transmitted to printer wirelessly. No need to connect phone lines to computers ounce you have set up the printer wireless. You are lucky because the new printers make you pay for faxes sent and rececieved. I do not know how it works receiving faxes though from other places. I think you need to have a fax line number for that. It cost money. You can send out free faxes no problem. That is how I use my printer when sending faxes. Almost all places now use regular e-mails now. Fax machines are becomming a thing of the pass. It is nice to have one when you need it to send out a fax. Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only.

You can't receive a voice call and a fax at the same time. I have two lines, one for faxes and for calls from family and friends, the other with a published number, for business etc. I leave the fax machine turned off except when I'm expecting a fax. The answering machine message on the fax line starts with "if you are trying to send a fax, call the main number first and we will turn the fax on...".

We do not have our printer connected to the telephone line and we are able to do all other functions (copy, scan, print). We just don't use the FAX. Phone line does not seem to be needed.

Yes it can be set to fax only. It has 3 settings available: phone with manual fax receipt, fax only, and phone and fax which is the best setting. and answer machine

Yes it is. Install the package from the CD to your computer. Then go to system preferences to add "US Modem" in 'PRINTER' icon. RESTART your computer. And you are good to go. Plug a regular phone line into the US Modem, the US Modem to your computer and you are ready to fax. Whenever you want to fax, press print and select "US Modem". Enter fax to number, add cover pages etc and press FAX. You should be good to go. I love it. Simple, effective and I do not have to count on a fax machine or printing out paper to fax. I fax directly from my computer! Good luck!

Yes. This is a modem for dialup internet service connection to computer. Faxing is controlled by computer via modem to internet.

You will need a phone line input in order to use the FAX function. The line can be shared for sending with your home line. Receiving on a shared line is more difficult. There are services on the internet that you can use your PC TO send and receive Fax messages they give you a separate phone number for this. Monthly charges come with this.

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.
