intercepted by The Stick via its automatic answer feature and routed to its
proper destination ( i.e. phone, fax, modem).
The standard feature that makes this type of installation attractive is
“Barge-In Protection” and The Stick’s ability to transfer a call between
devices. If a voice call is answered and routed, only the phones will ring.
If a call, accompanied by CNG, is answered and routed, only the fax
machine will receive the call. Once a call is directed to its intended
device, our “traffic cop” also keeps equipment connected to The Stick
from “Barging-In” on the existing call.
Once again, for The Stick to perform in this manner, it must be installed
on the phone l
ine BEFORE
all phone extensions, wall jacks or phone
systems.
Your
Own Personal Secretary
Everybody needs their own personal secretary to screen calls when they
are busy with other things. If you install The Stick on the phone line by
plugging it into a telephone wall jack, that is basically what you've got-
somebody to answer an incoming call and either:
A) tell you it is a voice call (by ringing the phone connected to a VOICE
port) or
B) route it to the appropriate equipment.
Here’s the
scenario-you
are in the basement working one Saturday and
the phone rings. Of course you have
3
or
4
extension phones scattered
about your palatial estate, and particularly, one in the basement. With
The Stick plugged into a telephone wall jack upstairs, you have the option
of either “grabbing” the call before The Stick does via the basement
extension or allowing The Stick to
answer the call and route it to the
appropriate device.
This type of installation gives you the advantage of accessing an inbound
call from any extension- but you lose “Barge-In Protection”. Manual
transfers can still be executed from an extension phone if needed.
