CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
This guide is designed to help you install and use the Line Share 120H. Please
read through this guide and select the installation procedures appropriate for
your specific application before attempting to connect or operate the Line
Share 120H.
NOTE
According to standard industry practice, surge protection is
recommended for use with all electronic devices. A surge suppressor
and/or line conditioning should be used on the input power supply, as
well as the connected telephone line.
Call Waiting: Fax and modem transmissions could be disrupted by the
call-waiting beep tone.
Call Forwarding: If call forwarding is enabled, the Line Share 120H
cannot process calls on that line.
Phone Company Voice Mail: This service is not compatible with the Line
Share 120H. However, standalone voice-mail systems work well with the
Line Share 120H.
We recommend that call forwarding and the phone company’s voice mail
services be discontinued.
The Line Share 120H is a state-of-the-art telephone line sharing device that
eliminates the extra dedicated telephone lines used to operate a fax, modem,
or other telephone devices.
The Line Share 120H quickly directs incoming telephone calls to one of
three appropriate destinations, typically a computer modem, fax/modem, or
fax machine, as well as a telephone and answering machine, or any other
telephone device that responds to a standard phone company ring signal.
Please read through the rest of this guide to learn how to properly install
and operate the Line Share 120H.
