Specifications

This message reflects the use of three programmable features-the SAC for the
FAX port, Answering Machine Silent Transfer and Silent Transfer Destination.
The SAC for transfer to the FAX machine is factory preset at *2 “Answering
Machine Silent Transfer” has been programmed “on” and the ‘Silent Transfer
Destination” used is factory preset to the “FAX” port.
Retrieving An Answering Machine Message- Most answering machines on the
market today have factory preset “retrieval codes” for accessing a message from
a remote phone. There is no special feature on The Stick for accessing your
answering machine: just call your phone number, let the machine answer the
line, and dial your “retrieval code”.
Again, we remind you to program all SAC’s used for voice/data equipment
differently from your answering machine “retrieval code”.
Computer Modems
The Stick is compatible with all dial-up modems that use a “single pair” RJ-11 line
cord to connect to a phone line. We suggest connecting the modem to the port
labeled “MODEM” (we bet you’ve already figured that one out!). Most incoming
calls to your modem are from remote (off location) computer modems. The Stick
will route calls to your computer modem when the calling modem dials the proper
SAC after The Stick has answered the call.
The “How To” Of Calling Your Modem- For any person to
access your modem through The Stick, they must know your
programmed Security Access Code for the “MODEM” port.
Dialing your telephone number and SAC is done on the remote
computer communications software. It should look something
like this (for a HAYES-compatible modem):
ATDT 1606 555 1234,,*3
The commas after the phone number are commands telling the modem to wait
two seconds per comma before dialing the SAC * 3. You should instruct your
friends to “time” a call to your residence. Tell them to count the seconds between
the last digit dialed and the last ring to the phone before The Stick answers the
call (how many rings before The Stick answers). Divide that amount of seconds
by two and you have the needed number of commas between the phone number
and SAC.
It is safe to repeat the SAC twice in the dialing string like so:
ATDT 1 606 555 1234,,*3,,*3
