Long Range Systems 4 LineShare 4.1

CONNECTING THE LINESHARE 4.1

This section explains how to install the LineShare 4.1 in most phone configurations that appear in a home
or office. You can install the LineShare 4.1 into one of the following phone configurations:

• A single telephone line

• A telephone system

Installation procedures for each of these configurations are provided in the following sections.

To perform the installation procedures in the following sections, you may need the following equipment:

• Telephone cables to connect the LineShare 4.1 to your telephone (wall) jack.

• Extension cables – required if the connecting equipment is not located near the LineShare 4.1

• Additional telephone cables – typically supplied with equipment by the manufacturer. You need ad­ditional telephone cables for as many pieces of equipment manufacturer does not provide the re­quired cables, you can purchase them at a consumer electronic store.

Installation on a Single Telephone Line

The following diagram shows a complete installation for a single phone line connection. While the connec­tions to the telephone (wall) jack may be different for other types of phone systems, the connections to the
LineShare 4.1 remain the same for all phone configurations.

1. Plug one end of a telephone line cord into the LINE-IN port on the LineShare 4.1. Plug the other
end of the modular line cord into the telephone (wall) jack.

2. Plug the small end of the AC power cord provided with the LineShare 4.1 into the power input port
labeled "12 VAC" on the LineShare 4.1. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
The green LED flashes rapidly for about 5 seconds when power is applied and then remains illu­minated, indicating it is ON.

3. To connect an answering machine, plug one end of a telephone line cord into the ANS. M. port on
the LineShare 4.1.

4. To connect a phone, plug one end of a telephone line cord into the PHONE port on the LineShare

4.1.

5. To connect a fax machine, plug one end of a telephone line cord into the FAX port on the LineShare

4.1. Set the fax to answer on 1 ring.

6. To connect a telephone device such as a computer modem, plug one end of a telephone line cord
into the AUX port on the LineShare 4.1.

Long Range Systems 5 LineShare 4.1

NOTE: To connect a stand alone Caller ID device to the LineShare 4.1, simply plug the Caller ID into the

PHONE port, and then plug your phone into the Caller ID.

NOTE: Caller ID is a service provided by your local telphone company. (service activation required.)

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.

Do not plug the LineShare 4.1 into a telephone system phone jack. You may damage your phone system.

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)

3. Hang up the phone

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.
