Connecting Fax to the ISDN (Digital Line) - Embedded 
Fax (DC440/432/430/425
)
The Xerox DC440/432/430/425 is capable of working at a 
maximum speed of 33.6Kbps across a good quality, analogue 
telephone line to another fax machine with the same speed 
capability. This speed is dependant upon the quality of the 
connection; the poorer the quality, the slower the speed.
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital 
alternative to the analogue network.
To connect the Xerox DC440/432/430/425 to the ISDN 
requires the use of a Terminal Adapter (TA) to interface 
between the machine’s analogue modem and the digital 
network. Once connected to the TA, the machine will operate 
in the same way as if it were connected to an analogue 
telephone system. Fax documents can be sent or received in 
exactly the same manner as before.
Currently, a standard ISDN line is capable of providing two 
separate telephone connections, each of which can have its 
own telephone number. The Xerox DC440/432/430/425 can 
take full advantage of this feature and improve its productivity 
by being fitted with a second fax option and connecting both fax 
ports to a TA that supports two analogue ports. It will then be 
capable of simultaneously sending and/or receiving two faxes 
at the same time over the same ISDN line. 
Terminal Adapters are available on the open market from a 
variety of suppliers. Contact your chosen supplier to arrange 
purchase and installation if required. In view of the number of 
alternative suppliers available, exhaustive testing of every 
available TA has not been undertaken by Xerox and therefore, 
Xerox does not recommend any particular supplier. Some 
products have, however, been tested by Xerox and have been 
found to be compatible with the DC440/432/430/425 fax. The 
local Xerox representative will be able to supply details of these 
products.
