2. Introduction

2.2 About the Lineshare Master-4

The Lineshare Master-4 is a state-of-

the-art device that produces a variety

of routing tones on outbound phone

calls. It is designed to work in

conjunction with a modem, fax, or

any type of automatic- or manual-

dial telephone device. The

Lineshare Master-4 allows any fax

or modem device to automatically

route calls through line-sharing

devices that detect fax CalliNG

(CNG) tones, reverse modem tones,

or various single-frequency tones.

The Lineshare Master-4 works best

when installed between the

telephone company’s line and a fax

or modem device. The Lineshare

Master-4 allows connection of up to

48 individual telephone lines, and

up to 48 individual modems (or

other telephone devices). When a

device accesses the telephone line

through the Lineshare Master-4, the

unit pauses until dialing is complete.

It then places the calling device on

hold and transmits a series of user-

selectable calling tones.

When used in conjunction with a

Lineshare Pro (part number FX150A

or FX150A-D48), the Lineshare

Master-4 can access multiple

modem-type devices on a single

phone line.

2.1 Before You Begin

This guide introduces you to the

various installation and operational

procedures for using the Lineshare

Master-4.

Read through this guide and select

the installation procedures

appropriate for your specific

application before attempting to

connect or operate the Lineshare

Master-4.

NOTE

We recommend surge

protection for all telecom-

munications devices. Use

surge suppressors and/or

line-conditioning devices on

the input power supply, as

well as the connected

telephone line.

LINESHARE MASTER-4, LINESHARE RACK

NOTE

The Lineshare Pro is a four-

port line-sharing device

designed to identify and

route any specified tone

produced by the Lineshare

Master-4.

Read through the rest of this

guide to learn how to properly

operate the Lineshare Master-4.

3. Installation

• additional telephone cables—

typically supplied with

equipment by the manufacturer.

You need additional telephone

cables (part number EL04M-00)

for as many pieces of equipment

as you intend to connect to the

Lineshare Master-4.

• extension cables—required if the

connecting equipment is not

located near the Lineshare

Master-4.

3.1 Lineshare Master-4 Rack Rear

Panel

The rear panel of the Lineshare

Master-4 Rack has four 24-pair telco

connectors, a one-amp fuse, a power

input port, and a system ground, as

shown in Figure 3-1.

Before you install the Lineshare

Master-4, connect all phone lines

and modems (or other telephone

devices) to the patch panels and

amphenol connectors in their

proper configuration. Although your

configuration may vary, all phone

lines and telephone devices connect

to the Lineshare Master-4 the same

way.

CAUTION

Do not connect all

telephones in an office

environment through the

Lineshare Master-4. During

power failure, the unit will

not pass the telephone line

through to the phones.

To perform the installation

procedures in the following sections,

you may need the following

equipment:

• up to four 24-pair telco cables

(part number ELN25T-0000-MF)

• up to two 48-pair patch panels

(part number JPM002)
