Teltone’s Line Sharing Switch and Polling Controller let you take advantage of the unused capacity of your phone lines by allowing up to four telecommunications devices (phone, modems, fax, etc.) to share a single line.

Efficient Polling Connections from Host

When the Line Sharing Switch and Polling Controller are connected in a dual-unit architecture "polling system," they make the most cost-effective and functional outbound system of its type. In this configuration, the Polling Controller is located at the central polling location, and a Line Sharing Switch is located at the remote location. These components communicate across the public switched network to set up and disconnect calls quickly and accurately.

At the beginning of a polling session, the Polling Controller receives the host dial string and converts this to a proprietary access code. This code is sent to the Line Sharing Switch, which then routes the call to the requested device. If the Line Sharing Switch receives no access code, calls are defaulted to the telephone port. By deflecting uncoded calls, a barrier is erected in front of your remote modems, adding to the protection your system has from unauthorized entry.

Outbound Dialing from Remote Locations

The Line Sharing Switch eliminates the cost of extra lines at your remote site regardless of whether you dial your call from your host or from your remote location. The Line Sharing Switch will allow you to share the outbound access of one line with two to four devices and prioritize how each device can interrupt the others to use the line. Any device that can be connected to a standard telephone line can receive or place calls through the Line Sharing Switch, including telephones, modems, point-of-sale terminals, credit/debit authorization terminals, fax machines, voice mail systems, answering machines, and others. A Polling Controller is only required at your host site calling to the remote site where the LSS is located. You get significant line cost savings and line access flexibility.
