LINE SHARE 120H
*To assist the Line Share 120H in automatically transferring calls that
produce a CNG tone, you should leave a four-second silent period at the
beginning or end of your answering machine announcement message.
To accommodate auto-dial faxes that do not produce CNG tones, the Line
Share 120H monitors the line 20 seconds after a call is answered on the TAD
port. If the Line Share 120H determines that a caller is not leaving a message
on your answering machine during the next five-second period, the Line
Share 120H transfers the call to the FAX/MODEM port.
To accommodate these timing parameters, your outgoing message should
be no less than 10 seconds, and no longer than 15 seconds.
Single-cassette answering machines are not recommended for use with
the Line Share 120H because of timing limitations of these types of
machines.
If calls are being transferred to the FAX/MODEM port when a caller is
leaving a message, you may want to instruct the caller (in your
answering machine announcement message) to press the * key from a
tone phone to leave an uninterrupted message.
