Can I use my Freedom Service with my home alarm system or personal emergency
response Services Company?
You may connect any telephone communication device to your Freedom Service adaptor.
However, we recommend that you keep a simple phone line for a home alarm or personal
emergency response device. Remember, the Freedom Service depends upon your
broadband Internet connection, and electric power. If the connection goes down, or if
power is not available, you will not be able to make or receive calls, nor will your alarm
system. Please consult with a qualified alarm system technician before connecting your
alarm system to the Freedom Service line.
Can I still use the Internet while making calls?
Yes. Your computer and the Freedom Service can share your Internet Connection.
Does the Freedom Service work with America Online DSL?
No. At this time, AOL Broadband service does not support our Freedom Service.
Does my Freedom Service work with Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)?
No, we do not recommend ICS for Windows. The default lease time is automatically set for
only 6 minutes. Our Freedom Service Phone Adapter needs a virtually infinite lease time.
Otherwise the phone adapter may reboot in the middle of a call. We recommend that you
purchase a DSL/Cable web-safe router that will provide NAT and DHCP for your network.
