LINESHARE PRO

3. Installation

The Lineshare Pro is a single-line device that can be installed on any type of modular or non-modular phone system that consists of one or more lines, with one or more phones. A modular phone system consists of phone cables that can be connected and disconnected from a telephone device. A non-modular phone system consists of cables that are hard-wired to the telephone device and cannot be disconnected from the equipment. You might need a telephone installer to install the Lineshare Pro on a non-modular system.

NOTE

Many offices have a KSU or a PBX phone system. The Lineshare Pro works with either of these systems. Simply follow the appro- priate installation instruc- tions provided in Section 3.6.

The following sections explain

how to install the Lineshare Pro in three different phone configurations:

•a single phone line with a single phone

•a single phone line with multiple phones maintaining exclusion

•a KSU or PBX system

For installation, you may need the following equipment:

•one telephone cable—provided with the Lineshare Pro

•additional telephone cables— typically supplied with equipment by the manufacturer. You need additional telephone cables (EL04MS=RJ-11 cord) for as many pieces of equipment as you intend to connect to the Lineshare Pro.

•extension cables (part number FM011)—required if the connecting equipment is not located near the Lineshare Pro.
