Q:Why would I ever need to restrict a port to only one line for outbound
calls?
A:You might want to restrict ports if, for example, you have one or more
modems connected to The Stick II. Restricting the modems to use only
Line 2 for surfing the Internet or dialing out for credit card approval,
leaves Line 1 open to receive calls and faxes. You wouldnt want to miss
important calls or faxes because both lines were tied up. Line 2 can still
be programmed to receive calls and faxes, but you could mainly use it to
dial out.
Call In/Dial Out Long Distance Saver
This feature allows you to avoid expensive calling card charges or long distance
cellular rates. When away from your home or office, but in the same calling area, simply
call in to The Stick II and enter the Dial Out Line Access Code to access the available
second line! This feature is not recommended for data transfers.
Dial into Line 1 or Line 2 from another location.
The Stick II must pick up and begin to process the call. If you have Rings to Answer
set for 4, then you need to wait for at least the 5
th
ring before you enter the Dial Out
Line Access Code.
While The Stick II is processing the call you will hear the simulated Ring Back.
Enter the Call In/Dial Out Line Access Code.
You will hear The Stick II pick up the secondary line (if available) and hear a dial tone.
You are ready to dial! If the secondary line is in use you will hear a busy signal.
Q:So I dont need a calling card?
A:No, you do not need to use a calling card. You simply make the local call
back to The Stick II and enter the codes. Youll then have access to the
available line and you dial the long distance number. You get to take
advantage of your negotiated business or home long distance rates!
