5.Using the Lineshare Pro’s Custom Features and Functions

The Lineshare Pro includes many options that enable you to customize its operation to meet specific application needs. The Lineshare Pro’s features and functions are factory-preset, and it is unlikely that you will need to make many changes. However, if necessary, you can alter any program using

a tone-type phone connected to Port 1. The Lineshare Pro cannot be programmed with a rotary or pulse-dialing phone.

NOTE

Before attempting to program any feature, we recommend that you first thoroughly read the programming procedures. Then read Sections 5.4 and

5.5to decide if you want to make changes.

To change the Lineshare Pro’s features and functions, we recommend the following steps:

1.Using Tables 5-1and 5-2, write down the sequence of changes.

2.Enter the programming mode.

3.Change the features or functions.

The following sections explain how to enter the programming mode and change the features and functions.

5.1 Entering the Programming Mode

To enter the programming mode, perform the following steps:

1.Connect the telephone line from the phone company to the LINE port on the Lineshare Pro.

2.Pick up the receiver of the phone connected to Port 1. You should hear dial tone.

3.Within five seconds, press and release # * on the telephone keypad.

Make sure that the Port 1 green

ON indicator (LED) on the front of the unit lights steadily. If this green LED lights steadily, the Lineshare Pro has successfully entered the programming mode. Once in the programming mode, the Lineshare Pro internally disables the phone- line connection, and you hear a buzzing sound on the phone receiver.
