4.1 Standard Features
Barge-In Protection
When installed on incoming telephone lines before ALL telephone equipment (ex-
tension wall jacks or multi-line phone systems), The Stick II will protect any voice or data
call from being accessed by other telephone equipment attached to other device ports.
Any telephony device trying to access that line during a conversation or data transmis-
sion will receive a line-in-use busy tone or, if programmed to do so, that device will
try and access the second line.
Note: The Barge-In Protection feature will control only those phone/data devices
connected directly to The Stick II. For optimum performance and protection it is recom-
mended that all premise extension phones be wired to The Stick II at either the Voice 1
/2 or Voice 2 ports. See Getting Started Section 2.
Call Grab (designed for extension phones)
Call Grab can be initiated from any touch tone extension phone on the premise, that
has access to that line, by dialing 9 on the telephone key pad. When 9 is dialed, The
Stick II will immediately cease its call routing function and give you the line. This feature
is standard.
Q:Why would I ever need to grab a call? Wouldnt I want The Stick II
to continue processing?
A:No, you would want to "grab" the call if a call came in on Line 1 and you
are near an extension phone that is not connected to The Stick II Instead
of running back to your office to try and answer the call before your an-
swering machine picks up, simply pick up the extension phone that has
access to Line 1 and enter 9 on dial pad. The Stick II will immediately
release the call to that extension.
Fax Tone Detection
This automatic feature tells The Stick II to detect the presence of CNG tones which
may be transmitted by a calling fax machine or PC fax/modem. All calls accompanied
by CNG tones, whether they be from a fax machine or PC fax/modem, are routed to
