NOTE
To fully use this application,
you must turn the Extension
Detection feature ON (see
Chapter 5 for more
information).
You should also set the time
that the Lineshare Pro waits
for detection with the
Extension Detection timer.
Telephones not directly connected
to the Lineshare Pro ring only one
time on an inbound telephone call.
If your application requires that all
extension phones ring continuously
on an inbound telephone call, see
Section 3.5
.
3.5 Installing the Lineshare Pro on a
Single Phone Line with Multiple
Phones to Maintain Exclusion
When using a fax or modem
connected to the Lineshare Pro,
make sure the fax or modem
connection is not interrupted during
transmission. You can ensure
uninterrupted transmission by
configuring your phone system to
maintain exclusion. Exclusion means
that if the fax, modem, or other
device is on the line transmitting or
receiving information and a phone
device on another port goes off-hook
to make a call, the transmission is
not interrupted. You hear a busy
tone produced by the Lineshare Pro,
indicating that the line is presently
in use.
CAUTION
You should be familiar with
telephone wiring to complete
this installation. If you have
any questions or are not
confident that you can
complete this installation
procedure, contact technical
support.
To maintain exclusion, the phone
line must terminate at the Lineshare
Pro, and all telephone equipment
must connect through the back of
the Lineshare Pro as shown in
Figure 3-4
.
For this procedure, you need
the following equipment:
• a pair of wire snippers
• a regular screwdriver and a
Phillips screwdriver
• two (2) RJ-11 wallmount jacks
(part number FM012)
• two (2) phone cables
• a utility knife
To install the Lineshare Pro as
shown in Figure 3-6, follow these
steps:
1. Label one of the RJ-11 jacks
“Number 1” and the other
RJ-11 “Number 2.”
