Additional Command Communications Comswitch 5500 3-Port Phone/Fax Modem Line Sharing Device Information

Now you can eliminate the need for extra dedicated telephone lines with the ComSwitch 5500. Use the ComSwitch 5500 to automatically route calls to your phone, answering machine, fax OR modem - all on a single line!It lets up to 3 devices - usually a telephone, answering machine, fax or modem - share a single phone line. When you add a second or third phone number to your single line, the CS 5500 works smoothly with Distinctive Ring service offered by most local phone companies (different companies have various names for this service; check with your phone company for details). In short, the CS 5500 is able to recognize specific ring patterns assigned to your different phone numbers and route calls to the right device. The CS 5500 immediately answers every call in the "Automatic" mode. If you prefer to have all your extension phones ring normally, the "Semi-Automatic" mode is also selectable. The choice is yours. It is possible for the CS 5500 to work with Voice Messaging from the phone company (requires Distinctive Ring service activation). The system is also compatible with Caller ID service (requires service activation). Remote Message Notification - Never miss another important message while you're away. Every time you receive a voice message, fax document or data transmission, the CS 5500 will automatically send a special tone message to any desired telephone number - local or long distance. (Not compatible with tone pagers.) The CS 5500 is so smart it stays on the line during every call, listening for tone commands you send from the keypad of a telephone. So you can talk for a few minutes, push three keys, and transfer the call to your fax machine to receive a document.

What Customers Say About Command Communications Comswitch 5500 3-Port Phone/Fax Modem Line Sharing Device:

I recently started a home based business and just didn't have it in the budget to have two phone lines (one for a fax). The very first person I spoke with knew the answer to my question and I was only on the phone for about two minutes. I use a DSL line for internet as well as fax and phone line. I knew about the Command Communications switches from working in the computer industry years ago and decided to give them a call to find out if it would work with a DSL Line. This handy piece of equipment worked right out of the box without any effort or programming. I did have to put in a DSL filter (supplied by my phone company), but that was a piece of cake and worked right away.

I needed a box to route calls to the answering machine and the fax machine. In particular I needed one that could route on distinctive ring.This one works like a champ.The documentation is good enough to walk you through any setup you might need. Older reviews suggested that you needed to call for support. At some point they updated their documentation, I did not need to call for help with distinctive ring.I'd buy one again.

Even after following the instructions which came with the unit & those accompanying my FAX machine, it doesn't route the fax messages properly.

Our old Commswitch died on us, so we went searching for a new one or something to replace what it did. It does exactly what it says it will do. Not one store even knew what we were talking about. Got online and found it immediately. Makes our life a whole lot easier. It takes all the extra work out of running our business.

This is a company that provides no service whatever and probably cares only that they made a sale and will not back the product. I have contacted the company and they simply ignored me.

You never know what will happen. I paid full price for this unit and it does not work properly.

At still other times it will allow you to answer the phone and work properly. You will answer the phone and it keeps ringing until the answering machine comes on.

On other occasions it will not allow you to answer at all and it will transfer the call to the fax machine. The literature says the machine must be returned in 10 days and then they charge you a 25% restocking fee.

As they are the main supplier of this type of device, they need not concern themselves with customer service.
