Fax machine uses a phone line to transmit a copy or image of important documents such as forms, receipts, contract and any legal documents. With the rise of the internet fax technology, where documents runs over internet, you can send and receive faxes without having a dedicated phone line.

Do you connect a telephone line to a wireless fax machine?

If it is a "wireless fax machine" built for a home office or similar: You connect it the same way you to do a regular fax machine - by plugging the phone line into the appropriate place on the fax machine. There may be a base station that can transmit through wireless from the phone line to the fax machine. In most cases, however, a "wireless fax machine" is a wireless multifunction unit with fax capabilities. The wireless part is for printing and scanning, while the fax part still needs a phone connection to function. If it is a "wireless fax machine" built to work off of a cellular network: You'll have to contact your cellular provider - in most cases they'll have to activate it to make the phone connection work.
