LINESHARE PRO
2. Introduction
Phone Company Voice Mail:
The phone company’s voice-
mail service is not
compatible with the
Lineshare Pro, but stand-
alone voice mail systems
work well with the Lineshare
Pro.
We recommend that service
for call forwarding, and the
phone company’s voice mail
be discontinued. If you have
problems with call waiting,
simply turn off call waiting
during data transmissions.
2.2 About the Lineshare Pro
The Lineshare Pro 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. It quickly directs incoming
telephone calls to one of four
appropriate destinations, typically a
computer modem or fax/modem, a
facsimile machine, a telephone, and
a Telephone Answering Device
(TAD), or any other telephone
device that responds to a standard
phone-company ring signal.
2.1 Before You Begin
This guide is designed to introduce
you to the operating and installation
procedures for using the Lineshare
Pro.
Please read this guide and select
the installation procedures
appropriate for your specific
application before attempting to
connect or operate the Lineshare
Pro.
NOTES
According to standard
industry practice, surge
protection is recommended
for all telecommunications
devices. Surge suppressors
and/or line conditioning
should be used on the input
power supply, as well as the
connected telephone line.
Call Waiting: Fax machine
and modem transmissions
could be disrupted by the
call waiting beep tone.
Call Forwarding: If call
forwarding is enabled, the
Lineshare Pro A/C cannot
process calls on that line.
