If you install the Lineshare Master
on a phone line with other
telephone devices and do not use a
line sharing device, we recommend
that you read the following section.
The installation procedures for
this installation remain the same as
in
Section 3.2.1
, but there will be
telephones on the line that are not
connected to the Lineshare Master.
These phones will have complete
access to the phone line connected
to the Lineshare Master.
CAUTION
Do not connect all
telephones in a home or
office through the Lineshare
Master. If the power fails, the
unit will not pass the
telephone line through to the
phones.
The Lineshare Master can detect
tone dialing from a device on the
same phone line, even if the device
is not directly connected to the
Lineshare Master. If this device uses
tones to dial a phone number, the
Lineshare Master begins its timing
procedures and transmits the calling
tones simultaneously with the call.
If this happens, press # # on the
keypad of the phone to trigger the
Lineshare Master to stop
transmitting its tones.
NOTE
When the Lineshare Master
is deactivated with the ##, it
continues to monitor the
phone line for tone activity,
but does not transmit a tone.
The Lineshare Master remains
inactive until you turn it ON by
pressing # *. We recommend that
you turn the Lineshare Master ON
at the end of a dialing string during
the next data transmission.
If the equipment connected to
the Lineshare Master is used
infrequently or has no phones
connected to it, unplug the
Lineshare Master from the
telephone wall port or the power
outlet. When you need to place a call
from the equipment, simply restore
power to the Lineshare Master and
place the call.
