4.4 OTHER STUFF THAT WORKS....
The
Stick can operate on virtually all multi-line Key and PBX phone
systems. We do recommend a specific type of installation for The Stick on
either system. Refer to the section on Installation page 25.
The Stick is also compatible with virtually all Credit Card Authorization
Terminals, Point of Sale Terminals, Loop-Start dial-up TELEX machines,
dictation machines, Answering Machines, cordless telephones, CALLER
ID Display equipment- anything that requires a phone line to
communicate.
If you have a CALLER ID Display device, we do recommend that it be
installed on the telephone line BEFORE The Stick and the “Rings To
Answer” feature be set for 2 or more rings. The data transmitted by the
local
telco,
which identifies the calling party’s phone number, arrives
between the first and second ring so it should register on the display
device without a problem.
Services Offered by Your Local
Telco-Most
telephone companies are now
marketing “Call Packages” that allow subscribers to customize their
phone service in a multitude of ways. Most of the different services
available are compatible with The Stick, but some may impede
performance. Here are a few.
Call
Waiting-The “beep” heard during a phone conversation, alerting
you of another call, will not affect the performance of The Stick.
However, pressing the hook switch to field a call will cause The Stick
to do strange things....like
inadvertently transferring a call to your fax
machine. We do not advise having call waiting on the same line with
The Stick.
Call Forwarding-The Stick’s automatic answering function (answer
after a programmed number of rings) will not allow calls to be
forwarded to another phone number. You may want to weigh the
pro’s and con’s of using The Stick versus the Call Forwarding service.
