3.2 Installing the Lineshare Master
This section explains how to install
the Lineshare Master in most home
or office phone configurations. You
can install the Lineshare Master into
any one of the following phone
configurations:
• a dedicated phone line with
a line sharing device
• a dedicated phone line without
a line-sharing device
Installation procedures for each of
these configurations are provided in
the following sections.
To perform the installation
procedures in the next sections, you
may need the following equipment:
• one telephone cable—provided
with the Lineshare Master.
• additional telephone cables—
typically supplied with
equipment by the manufacturer.
You need additional telephone
cables for as many pieces of
equipment as you intend to
connect to the Lineshare Master.
If the equipment manufacturer
does not provide the required
cables, you can purchase them
from your dealer (part # EL04M-
04).
• extension cables—required if the
connecting equipment is not
located near the Lineshare
Master.
