Fax machines are nothing more than a scanner hooked up to a telephone. On the back of your machine should at the very least be a power connector that you would plug into your power jack in the wall, and then an RJ-11 connector or telephone jack, which you would connected with a telephone cable to the similar RJ-11 connector in the wall for telephone service. Some fax machines may have an extra similar jack that runs to the line jack of an external answering machine. There are also some business based fax machines that are networkable. Some of these may require an Ethernet cable to run to your source, which can be a direct connection or through a router or switch of some kind.
