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.
