PBX Features On A Single Telephone Line!
Call Director allows one dial telephone line to be selectively shared by up to two telephone devices (extensions). The caller or calling device, (modem or fax) selects the desired extension connected to the CD by sending a DTMF digit, or in the case of a fax, the CNG tone. After an extension is selected, it will be automatically rung by the Call Director, allowing the attached device to answer the call.
Any extension may initiate a call by simply going off hook and dialing. Other extensions that try to make a call will get a busy signal and not interfere with the in progress call.
In addition to its dial line sharing capabilities, the Call Director can be used to remotely control other equipment. One set of relay contacts are provided that can be used in conjunction with Dataprobe's K-AB data switches or our Power Switching Modules for control of AC power. This feature allows a caller to turn on a modem or other device before ringing it for a call, switch computer ports, or do a remote control power up reset for computers.
