LINESHARE MASTER 

NOTE

All of the other tones
supplied with the Lineshare
Master can also be used on
an outbound call for routing
purposes. However, they
work best when used in
conjunction with the
Lineshare Pro A/C or D/C
(part number FX150A or
FX150A-D48), which is a
four-port device that can
route to all of its ports from
any specified tone produced
by the Lineshare Master.

To set the tone frequency for the

Lineshare Master transmissions,
enter the * and a single digit 0
through 6 at the end of a phone
number. The digit you enter sets the
tone frequency.

For example, pressing * 1 at the

end of a phone number (555-
1234*1) will send a fax (CNG) tone.
This allows the Lineshare Master 
to produce CNG tones for a fax
machine that cannot produce the
tone. With the help of the Lineshare
Master, your fax machine can
automatically access other fax
machines that use a Line Sharing
Device to detect and route according
to the CNG tone.

In the same way, pressing * 9 at

the end of a phone number will send
a series of 2225hz reverse modem
tones. This allows the Lineshare
Master to produce reverse modem
tones for modems that cannot
produce the tones. With the help of
the Lineshare Master, your modem
can automatically access other
modems that use a line-sharing
device to detect and route according
to the reverse modem tone.

To route through a line-sharing

device using the reverse modem
tone, perform the following steps:

1. Set each modem to send and

receive calls normally. Do not 
set either of the modems in the
Reverse Modem mode.

2. Turn ON the reverse modem

detection feature in the line-
sharing device that is receiving
the call from the
modem/Lineshare Master
combination.

3. At the end of the dialing string

(phone number) in the
modem’s communication
software, enter the * 9
command.

4. Place the call using the modem’s

communication software.
