Special Operating Note
Before operating the LineShare Pro 104, be sure you understand the following information concerning the
telephone equipment that is used with the LineShare Pro 104. Fax
CNG tones: Most faxes send audible beep tones called CNG (Call-
iNG) tones. This tone is a distinct beep that repeats every three (3)
seconds. Once a fax has dialed the destination fax number, it gen-
erates this tone while waiting for the receiving fax to answer.
Most, but not all faxes produce this through their auto-dial fea-
ture, speed-dial memory position, or by the operator pressing the
start button on the fax machine after the number is dialed. For
best results, callers should have your number programmed into
their fax machine "speed-dial" memory.
Receiving a Computer Call
To have the calling modem automatically "over dial" an access code for a port of the LineShare Pro 104, the
caller should take into consideration whether the call is local or long distance. For remote access to port P3
on the LineShare Pro 104, instruct the caller to use the following dialing string in the modem's software:
ATDT (phone number),
#33,#33,#33,#33
(for Automatic mode)
ATDT (phone number),,,
#33,#33,#33,#33
(for Semi-Automatic mode)
The calling modem picks up its phone line and dials the phone number. The comma (,) tells the modem to
wait about two (2) seconds and then repeatedly "over dial" the access code.
NOTE:
Not all modem comma (,) commands delay dialing for a 2 second interval. Consult your modem
Operator's Guide and adjust the number of commas you use accordingly. In the Automatic
mode, the LineShare Pro 104 will answer a call, detect the tones and transfer the call to port P3.
In the Semi-Automatic mode, you or your answering machine will answer the call, and then the LineShare
Pro 104 will detect the tones and transfer the call to port P3. For long distance remote access to port P3, in-
struct the caller to use the following dialing string in the modem's software:
ATDT 1 (phone number),,,
#33,#33,#33,#33
(for automatic mode)
ATDT 1 (phone number),,,,,
#33,#33,#33,#33
(for Semi-Automatic mode)
NOTE:
In the Semi-Automatic mode, the commas entered before the #33 are used to allow for the an-
swering machine's 2-ring answer. Use 3 additional commas for each ring that your answering
machine is set to answer above 2 rings.
For calls requiring access to other ports, substitute the appropriate access codes:
port P1 #
1 1
port P2 #
2 2
port P4 #
4 4
