OVERVIEW

The Phone Line Manager 120B is the perfect solution if you have a dedicated line for your home office, and you need to connect a telephone and answering machine, as well as a fax or modem (but not both).

The Phone Line Manager 120B works smoothly with Distinctive Ring Service offered by most local phone companies (different companies have various names for this service; check with your phone company for details). In short, the Phone Line Manager 120B is able to recognize specific ring patterns assigned to your different phone numbers and route calls to the right device. What’s more, the Phone Line Manager 120B also works with Caller ID (requires service activation).

The Phone Line Manager 120B immediately answers

every call in the Office mode. If you prefer to have all your extension phones ring normally, select the Home mode.

The Phone Line Manager 120B is so smart it stays on the line during every call, listening for instructions you enter using your phone’s keypad. So you can talk for a few minutes, push three keys, and transfer the call to your fax machine to receive a document—all on the same call.

With the Phone Line Manager 120B, you’ll never miss another important message while you’re away. That’s because a unique feature called Remote Message Notification can

be setup to automatically send a special tone message to any

desired telephone number—local or long distance—to notify

Note,

you when you receive a voice message or fax document.

The Phone Line Manager 230B enables up to four devices—usually a telephone, answering machine, fax, and modem—to use a single phone line. It’s ideal if you have two phone lines available, or if you have a single dedicated office line and need to connect a telephone and answering machine, as well as a fax and modem.

The Phone Line Manager 230B works smoothly with Distinctive Ring Service offered by most local phone companies (different phone companies have various names for this service; check with your phone company for details). Like its 120B version, the Phone Line Manager 230B is able to recognize specific ring patterns assigned to your different phone numbers and route calls to the right device.

The Phone Line Manager 230B can be set to answer every call in the Office mode. If you prefer to have all your extension phones ring normally, the Home mode can be set instead. The choice is yours.

The Phone Line Manager 230B also works with your telco’s Voice Mail service (requires Distinctive Ring Service activation) and Caller ID service (requires additional service activation).

Going away from the office for a while? The Phone Line Manager 230B can automatically send a special tone message to any desired telephone number—local or long distance— when you receive a voice message, fax, or data transmission. The Phone Line Manager 230B works equally well with

one or two telephone lines. The system is also compatible with two-line telephones.

You can also convert your fax machine into a full-page, multidocument scanning system by using our built-in ComScan® feature. Just touch a button, and your fax machine sends images directly into the fax/modem in your PC.
