LINESHARE PRO
3. Installation
For installation, you may need the
following equipment:
• one telephone cable—provided
with the Lineshare Pro
• additional telephone cables—
typically supplied with
equipment by the manufacturer.
You need additional telephone
cables (EL04MS=RJ-11 cord) for
as many pieces of equipment as
you intend to connect to the
Lineshare Pro.
• extension cables (part number
FM011)—required if the
connecting equipment is not
located near the Lineshare Pro.
3.1 Ports on the Lineshare Pro
The rear panel of the Lineshare Pro
has five (5) modular ports and a
power input port, as shown in
Figure 3-1
.
The Lineshare Pro is a single-line
device that can be installed on any
type of modular or non-modular
phone system that consists of one or
more lines, with one or more
phones. A modular phone system
consists of phone cables that can be
connected and disconnected from a
telephone device. A non-modular
phone system consists of cables that
are hard-wired to the telephone
device and cannot be disconnected
from the equipment. You might
need a telephone installer to install
the Lineshare Pro on a non-modular
system.
NOTE
Many offices have a KSU or
a PBX phone system. The
Lineshare Pro works with
either of these systems.
Simply follow the appro-
priate installation instruc-
tions provided in Section 3.6.
The following sections explain
how to install the Lineshare Pro in
three different phone
configurations:
• a single phone line with a single
phone
• a single phone line with multiple
phones maintaining exclusion
• a KSU or PBX system
