Connecting the LineShare 4.1 to a DSL Phone Line
It is unlikely that DSL filters will be needed for proper operation of the LineShare 4.1 The LineShare 4.1 in­corporates filtering to prevent DSL signals from interfering with normal operation. If external DSL filters are needed connect them as shown below. Most consumer electronic stores have DSL filters. Some telephone companies also have DSL filters available.
1. Plug one end of the connected filter into the telephone (wall) jack.
2. Plug the other end into the LINE-IN port on the LineShare 4.1.
The filters keep the DSL signal from interfering with the operation of the LineShare 4.1.
Installation on a Telephone System
A telephone system is common in a medium or large office arrangement in which calls are coming in on 2 or more telephone lines and can be routed to any number of extensions. The system typically has features like call holding, music on hold, conference calling, and intercom paging.
The diagram shows telephone devices connected to the LineShare 4.1 for a telephone system; follow the same procedures if you have a mini-telephone system in your home or small office.
All equipment on that line (telephone system, fax, computer modem, and so on) must connect directly to the LineShare 4.1.
For the LineShare 4.1 to operate properly, it must be "in front" of the telephone system. In other words, it must connect directly to the incoming telephone line.
Connect the other equipment as previously shown. All equipment on that line (telephone system, fax, com­puter modem, and so on) must connect directly to the LineShare 4.1.
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 the Customer Service Center in the "Warranty" section of this guide or a pro­fessional installer for further instructions.

Long Range Systems 6 LineShare 4.1
USING THE LineShare 4.1
In this section, there are special operating notes you should read before op­erating the LineShare 4.1. This section follows an overview of the Line­Share 4.1 standard operations and instructions for answering and transferring your incoming calls.
Standard Operation
The LineShare 4.1 has 2 modes of operation, Automatic mode and Semi-Au­tomatic mode. The factory setting is the Automatic mode.
Automatic mode operation
When a call comes in, the LineShare 4.1 answers the call on the first ring. During the next four seconds the LineShare 4.1 listens for the following signals:
• A CNG tone (fax tone) or fax beep tone)
• An access code for the FAX port #11
• An access code for the AUX port #22
If the LineShare 4.1 detects CNG or the FAX port access code, it transfers the call to the FAX port. If the Line­Share 4.1 detects the AUX port access code, it transfers the call to the AUX port.
After 4 seconds, the call will be transferred to the PHONE and ANS. M. ports if tones are not detected.
If the LineShare 4.1 transfers an unanswered call to the FAX port, it will automatically reduce the number of rings to the telephones connected to the ANS. M. or PHONE ports to 2 rings to ensure optimum connect time
Semi-Automatic Mode Operation
When a call comes in, all the phones begin to ring (including extension phones, and phones connected to the PHONE and ANS. M. ports). The LineShare 4.1 allows 6 rings to the telephones before it automatically transfers the call to the FAX port. If you or your answering machine answer the call before this transfer oc­curs, the LineShare 4.1 listens for the following signals:
• A CNG tone (fax tone) or (fax beep tone)
• An access code for the FAX port #11
• An access code for the AUX port #22
If the LineShare 4.1 detects CNG or the FAX port access code, it transfers the call to the FAX port. If the Line­Share 4.1 detects the AUX port access code, it transfers the call to the AUX port.
If the LineShare 4.1 transfers an unanswered call on the AnsM or PHONE port to the FAX port. It will auto­matically reduce the number of rings to your telephones to 2 rings to ensure optimum connect time.
The LineShare 4.1 will reset the ring count to 6 rings after 10 minutes of inactivity on the FAX port. You can also manually reset the LineShare 4.1 to 6 rings by performing any of the following steps:
• Lift the receiver of any phone device on the line connected to the LineShare 4.1 and hang it up.
• Answer a call from any phone before the call is transferred to the FAX port.
• Place an outbound call from any phone connected on the line connected to the LineShare 4.1.
The default operating mode for the LineShare 4.1 is the Automatic mode.
Long Range Systems 7 LineShare 4.1
To Return the LineShare 4.1 to the Automatic Mode, Perform the Following Steps:
1. Take the phone in the PHONE port off-hook
2. Press # *(3 beeps) 2 1 0 * (3 beeps) *(1 beep)

2. Press # * (3 beeps) 2 1 1 * (3 beeps) * (1 beep)
3. Hang up the phone
NOTE: Extension phones not connected directly to the LineShare 4.1 will ring only 1 time if the Line-
Share 4.1 is in the Automatic mode.
In the Semi-Automatic mode, all phones will ring up to 6 times.
Special Operating Notes
Before operating the LineShare 4.1, be sure that you understand the following information concerning the telephone equipment that is used with the LineShare 4.1.
Fax CNG tones: Most faxes send audible beep tones called CNG (CalliNG) tones. This tone is a distinct beep that repeats every three (3) seconds. Once a fax has dialed the destination fax number, it generates this tone while waiting for the receiving fax to answer.
For best results, callers should have your fax number programmed into their fax machine's "speed-dial"memory.
Beep Beep Beep
Not all faxes transmit this tone when they place a call. Most, but not all faxes produce this tone through their auto-dial feature, speed-dial memory position, or by the operator pressing the fax machine's start button after the number is dialed.
Answering Incoming Calls
You can answer incoming calls from an extension phone or from a phone device con­nected to the ANS. M. or PHONE port. You can then conduct the call normally, for as long as you like.
1. If, after answering a call, you hear silence on the line, the call is likely coming from a fax that does not produce a CNG tone. Simply transfer the call to the FAX port by entering #11 from a tone phone.
2. To transfer a voice call to the FAX port, press #11 from a tone phone.
3. To transfer a voice call to the AUX port, press #22 from a tone phone.
4. In the Semi-Automatic mode, if you hear a CNG tone or an access code for the FAX port, after an­swering a call, simply hang up the phone after the fax has answered the line.
NOTE: The LineShare 4.1 cannot perform rotary/pulse dialing transfers in either the Automatic or Semi-
Automatic mode.
Long Range Systems 8 LineShare 4.1
Answering Calls with an Answering Machine
If your answering machine answers a call from the ANS. M. port, the caller can perform the following tasks:
• Record a voice message on the answering machine and/or Transfer their call to the FAX port
e recommend that you use your answering machine announcement message to pro-
W vide callers with instructions for transferring their calls.
Following is a Sample Announcement Message That You May Wish To Use:
• " * Hello, this is ________. If you wish to send a fax, press #11 on your tone phone, or leave a mes­sage at the tone."
• * If the LineShare 4.1 is in the Semi-Automatic mode, you should leave a four (4) second silent period at the beginning of the outgoing message you use on your answering machine.
Retrieving Answering Machine Messages from a Remote Location
To disable the LineShare 4.1 and retrieve your answering machine messages (provided it has this capabil­ity), follow these steps:
1. Dial your phone number and wait for the answering machine to answer the call.
2. After your answering machine answers the call, press * on your tone phone.
3. Follow the remote retrieval procedures for your answering machine.
4. After retrieving your messages, hang up. The LineShare 4.1 resets for the next call.
Placing an Outbound Call
You can place an outbound call from the PHONE port, unless another port is in use. If another port is in use, you will hear a busy signal when you attempt to place a call. If the line is clear when the calling device goes off-hook, you receive a dial tone and can place the call normally.
During an outbound call, you can also receive a transmission from someone that is ready to transmit.
To transfer this transmission to the FAX port, during a conversation, press # 11 from a tone phone.
Rotary/pulse transfers are not supported in the LineShare 4.1.
Picking up an extension phone not connected to the ANS. M. or PHONE port during a data or fax transmis­sion may interrupt the call.)
Receiving a Computer Call
Unlike a fax call, inbound computer calls do not produce identifying tones; they remain silent until another modem answers the call. To receive a computer call to the AUX port, instruct the caller to use one of the fol­lowing methods. (In this example, we use a modem.)
Dialing the Receiving Computer Through the Originating (Calling) Computer
To have the calling modem automatically "over dial" the AUX port access code and access the modem con­nected to the LineShare 4.1, the caller must take into consideration whether the call is local or long distance.
Long Range Systems 9 LineShare 4.1
For remote access to the AUX port on the LineShare 4.1, instruct the caller to use the following dialing string in the modem's software:
• Phone number,#22,#22,#22,#22 (for Automatic mode)
• Phone number,,,#22,#22,#22,#22 (for Semi-Automatic)
or long distance remote access to the FAX port of the LineShare 4.1, instruct the caller to use the following dialing
F string in the modem's software:
• 1 + phone number,,,#22,#22,#22,#22(for Automatic mode)
• 1 + phone number,,,,,#22,#22,#22,#22 (for Semi-Automatic)
The calling modem picks up its phone line and dials the phone number. The comma (,) tells the modem to wait about two (2) seconds and then repeatedly dial the access code.
In the Automatic mode the LineShare 4.1 will answer a call, detect the tones and transfer the call to the FAX/MODEM port.
In the Semi-Automatic mode, you or your answering machine will answer the call, then the LineShare 4.1 will detect the tones and transfer the call to the FAX port.
NOTE: Not all modem comma (,) commands delay dialing for a 2 second interval. See your modem Op-
erator's Guide and adjust the number of commas you use accordingly.
NOTE:
In the Semi-Automatic mode, the commas entered before the #11 are used to add delay to allow for your answering machine's 2 ring answer. Use 3 additional commas for each ring that your answering machine is set to answer above 2 rings.
Distinctive Ring Service Compatibility
When you add a second phone number to your single line, the LineShare 4.1 works smoothly to process calls without depending on access codes or transfer tones.
The phone company's Distinctive Ring service is offered in most areas across the U.S. Phone companies offer this service under various names, check with your local phone company for details.
The LineShare 4.1 will process the additional phone numbers (ring styles) as follows:
• Standard ring PHONE and ANS. M. ports
• Two-burst ring FAX port
• Three-burst ring AUX port
The factory setting for Distinctive Ring detection is OFF.
