LINESHARE PRO

You can reset the ring count for the Ring Reduction feature to six rings by performing any of the following steps:

Lift the receiver of the phone device connected to the primary default port.

Answer a call from any phone before the call is routed to another port.

Place an outbound call from a phone connected to the primary default port of the Lineshare Pro.

(See Section 5.4 for more information about the No Answer Cascade and Ring Reduction features.)

4.3 Answering Incoming Calls

Depending on your configuration, you can answer incoming calls from a phone device connected to the primary default port. You can then conduct the call normally, for as long as you like.

4.4 Answering Calls from Port 1

If, after answering a call, you hear silence on the line, the call is likely coming from a fax or modem that did not produce a routing tone.

Simply transfer the call to Port 2, Port 3, or Port 4 by entering the appropriate access code. (The Inbound Tone Transfer Feature must be turned on for this transfer to function.)

From a tone phone, enter 22 for Port 2, 33 for Port 3, or 44 for Port 4 (if you answer a call from another port, you can press 11 for Port 1).

From a pulse dialing phone, dial 3 for Port 2, 4 for Port 3, and 5 for Port 4.

If a caller verbally requests a device connected to a port, you can route the call by entering the appropriate access code.

NOTE

The tone access codes used in these examples are factory-preset. They may be changed according to your needs. See Section 5.4 for instructions.

4.5 Answering Calls with a TAD

If your TAD answers a call from PORT 1, the caller can perform one or both of the following tasks:

record a voice message on the

TAD

transfer their call to Port 2, Port 3, or Port 4

We recommend that you use your TAD announcement message to provide callers with instructions for transferring their calls. Following is a sample announcement message that you may want to use:
