LINESHARE PRO

“Hello, this is ________ . If you want
to send a fax, press # 2 2 on your
tone phone, or leave a message at
the tone.”
(In this application, your fax should
be connected to Port 2.)

You can also announce the tone

access code for Port 3 or Port 4 (# 3
3 or # 4 4) if you want to allow open
access to these ports. (The Inbound
Tone Transfer Feature must be
turned on for this transfer to
function.)

To accommodate pulse-dialing

faxes, or faxes that do not produce
CNG tones, turn the
Answer/Disconnect Cascade feature
ON for the port where your TAD is
connected (primary default port) to
transfer calls to the port where your
fax is connected.

NOTE

Port selection for the
Answer/Disconnect Cascade
feature can be set to any
port. The factory default
setting is OFF for any device
disconnecting from a call. To
change the default setting,
see Answer/Disconnect
Cascade in Section 5.4.

4.6 Retrieving TAD Messages from

a Remote Location

To disable the Lineshare Pro and
retrieve your TAD messages, follow
these steps:

• Dial your phone number and

wait for the Lineshare Pro to
answer the call.

• After the Lineshare Pro has

answered the call, but before
your TAD answers, press the *
key on your tone phone between
ring signals.

• When your TAD answers, follow

the remote retrieval procedures
for your TAD.

• After retrieving your messages,

hang up. The Lineshare Pro
resets for the next call.

4.7 Placing an Outbound Call

You can place an outbound call from
any port, unless another port is in
use. If another port is in use, you will
hear a busy tone. If the line is clear
when the calling device goes off-
hook, you receive a dial tone and
can place the call normally.

NOTE

If you place a call from an
extension phone that is not
directly connected to the
Lineshare Pro, you may
interrupt a data transmission
in progress on one of the
ports. If this happens, simply
hang up the extension phone
and wait for the line to clear.
