DESCRIPTION

LINE SELECTOR has been specifically designed to allow any ONE TELEPHONE DEVICE to be connected as required, to ONE of TWO separate attached telephone lines. The telephone lines used can be any combination of Telstra, Optus, PABX, or even a VOIP service. An ISDN line can also be used, where a suitable ISDN-Analogue interface is in conjunction with it.

One of the Two attached lines is nominated as the DEFAULT LINE (marked LINE 1 on the Line Sharer) and the other line is then set up as the ALTERNATIVE LINE (marked LINE 2 on the Line Sharer).

Both Incoming and Outgoing calls to/from the attached TELEPHONE DEVICE can take place on either line.

Outgoing calls from the TELEPHONE DEVICE can be made on either line.

LINE SELECTOR will always choose the DEFAULT LINE (Line 1), unless you press the Line Change Code (which is programmable for any single digit) or it can also be set to select Line 2 whenever Line 1 is busy.

Incoming calls on EITHER LINE will be automatically routed to the attached device. If the attached device is already connected to a call when another call comes in on the other line, the call can be taken by any other device that may be connected to the same line.

Alternatively, if you are using an automatic receiving device such as a Fax Machine, Modem or Answering Machine to handle both lines, you may wish to use the switch selectable BUSY OUT facility, which if enabled, will automatically ‘BUSY OUT’ the other line whenever your attached device is operating.

LINE SELECTOR also provides a CALL ADVICE FACILITY, which if enabled will alert you of another call on the other line (with beeps), and will allow you to place the existing call On Hold, so that you can answer the other incoming call. You can then 'toggle' between calls as necessary by pressing *, or you can simply hang up on one call in which case you will be automatically connected to the other call.

Alternatively, if you are using an automatic receiving device such as a Fax Machine, Modem or Answering Machine to handle both lines, you may wish to use the switch selectable BUSY OUT facility, which if enabled, will automatically ‘BUSY OUT’ the other line whenever your attached device is operating.

PRODUCT FEATURES TABLE

MAKE OUTGOING CALLS ON EITHER LINE

Both products will allow you to MAKE Outgoing calls on BOTH attached telephone lines.

PROGRAMMABLE LINE CHANGE CODE

Outgoing calls are automatically connected to the Default Outgoing line. To make an outgoing call on the alternative line, you must first press *.
        - This digit cannot be changed on VOIP SELECTOR.
        - With LINE SELECTOR, you can change the * Line Change code to any other single digit code.

        - This can be important if * conflicts with other equipment on your telephone line.

PROGRAMMABLE LINE CHANGE DELAY

Whenever the ALTERNATIVE LINE is selected to make an outgoing call, there is a short delay after detecting *.

        - This time cannot be change on VOIP SELECTOR.
        - With LINE SELECTOR, you can change the Line Change delay time anywhere between immediate and 9 seconds.
        - This flexibility can be useful for certain applications., including the use of automatic dialling equipment.

OTHER LINE CALL ADVICE FACILITY

LINE SELECTOR can be set to inject ‘Call Advise Tones’ into your Line 1 or Line 2 call to alert you that you have an incoming call on the other line. It will also allow you to place the existing call ON HOLD and allow you to ANSWER the other call by pressing * on your telephone. You can return to the other call at any time by pressing *, or toggles between calls.

OTHER LINE BUSY OUT FACILITY

LINE SELECTOR will allow you to individually ‘Busy Out’ Line 1 or Line 2, when the other line is in use. This means that you can prevent being disturbed on your primary line (or both lines) from calls on the other line.

AUTOMATIC LINE CHANGE FACILITY

LINE SELECTOR can be set to automatically select Line 2 to make outgoing calls whenever Line 1 is in use. The saves the need to press the Line Change command. This flexibility can be useful for certain applications., including the use of automatic dialling equipment.
