Section 1 . . . . . Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the true two-line call processor, The Stick II! This is an
amazing product and we want you to be able to understand and use all of its unique
features. Weve tried to create a manual that is both detailed and easy to reference.
Many times when you read a manual, you immediately think of What if .
. . or How come . . . questions. We have tried to anticipate this and have
denoted these sections with the icon to the left. Enjoy your new Stick II!
What is The Stick II?
The Stick II is a true two-line call processor. It automatically routes all inbound
voice, fax and modem calls to the appropriate device every time. The Stick II can even
process calls from both lines simultaneously! It allows users to share fax machines,
phones, credit card authorization machines and other data devices between two phone
lines for both inbound and outbound calls.
See Section 4 to understand the amazing programmability of The Stick II. You can
program The Stick II to fit your particular situation.
How doesThe Stick II work?
When installed on two phone lines, The Stick II automatically answers all inbound
calls and screens for fax tones (CNG-CalliNG tones) and Security Access Codes (in
the form of DTMF/touch tones). In the micro-seconds it takes to screen the call, The
Stick II transmits phone company-simulated ring-back (tones) to the calling party. Af-
ter the screening function is performed, the call is routed to the proper device.
The Stick IIs performance is dependent on how it is installed on a home or busi-
ness phone line and what programmable features are activated. You might want to
review Section 4.1, Standard Features, to learn how to install your Stick II with complete
barge in protection.
