LINESHARE PRO
The Lineshare Pro has two basic
modes of operation:
• In the secured mode, when a call
comes in, the Lineshare Pro
answers the call on the first
ring and waits silently for a pre-
specified routing tone. The
Lineshare Pro will wait for the
amount of time set in the Time
at Home function. If the
Lineshare Pro does not receive
a routing tone before this time
expires, the call is disconnected.
If the Lineshare Pro receives a
routing tone, the call is
automatically routed to the
correct port.
• In the non-secured mode, when a
call comes in, the Lineshare Pro
answers the call on the first ring,
and then provides a ring-back
tone to the caller. This tone is
intended to make the routing
process transparent to the caller.
After the Lineshare Pro answers
the call, it listens for various routing
tones or access codes. See Sections
4.10
and 4.13 for more information.
If the Lineshare Pro does not
detect a signal, it routes the call to
the first port in the Cascade Port
Order (primary default port). When
the phones connected to that port
ring, it means that the call is coming
from one of the following
(depending on your configuration):
• a person wanting to talk to you
• a person sending a fax manually
• a fax machine that does not
produce CNG signals
• a person trying to access a port
• a modem device not using the
proper access codes or protocol
tones
If after six rings to the primary
default port/Port 1 (four rings to
Ports 2, 3, and 4), the call remains
unanswered, the Lineshare Pro will
automatically route the call to the
next port in the Cascade Port Order.
For any future calls, the Ring
Reduction feature engages and the
Lineshare Pro routes calls to the
next port in the Cascade Port Order
after the second ring.
