LINE SHARE 120H

4.2 Standard Operations

When a call comes in, all the phones begin to ring (including extension phones, phones connected to the PHONE and TAD ports). The Line Share 120H allows 6 rings to the telephones before it automatically transfers the call to the FAX/MODEM port. If you or your answering machine answer the call before this transfer occurs, the Line Share 120H listens for the following signals:

a CNG tone

an access code for the FAX/MODEM port # 9 9

If the Line Share 120H detects any of these signals, it routes the call to the FAX/MODEM port.

If an unanswered call is transferred to the FAX/MODEM port, the Automatic Ring Reduction feature engages.

For calls that occur after this, the Line Share 120H will route calls to the FAX/MODEM port after 3 rings.

The Automatic Ring Reduction Reset will reset the ring count to 6 rings after 5 minutes of inactivity on the FAX/MODEM port. You can also manually reset the Line Share 120H to 6 rings by performing any of the following steps:

Lift the receiver of any phone device on the line connected to the Line Share 120H and hang it up.

Answer a call from any phone before the call is routed to the FAX/MODEM port.

Place an outbound call from any phone connected on the line connected to the Line Share 120H.
