The Viking Electronics VK-LSD-2 Line Seizure Device is designed for business and IT environments requiring efficient management of existing telephone lines. This smart line sharing device enables a single C.O. line or analog PABX/KSU station to be shared between two devices, typically an emergency phone or alarm panel and a standard telephone. Its primary function is to eliminate the need for a dedicated line for priority devices, potentially reducing operational costs associated with line leasing. The VK-LSD-2 features inbound switching capability, ensuring that outbound calls from the designated priority port (DEVICE 2) take precedence. If a call is active on the non-priority port (DEVICE 1), it will be temporarily disconnected for two seconds to allow the priority device access to the line, subsequently providing a busy signal to the DEVICE 1 port. This mechanism ensures critical communications are not delayed.
The VK-LSD-2 can be used on any C.O. line or analog PABX/KSU station, providing flexibility for various business telephone system configurations.
The main benefit is the ability to share an existing phone line with an emergency phone or other priority alarm device, which can lead to significant cost savings by avoiding the need to lease a dedicated phone line.
An outbound call on the DEVICE 2 (PRIORITY) port takes priority. If a call is in progress on the DEVICE 1 port, it will be disconnected for two seconds to allow the priority device access, with a busy signal then sent to DEVICE 1.
