Your Own Personal Secretary
Everybody needs their own personal secretary to screen calls when they are
busy with other things. If you install The Stick on the phone line by plugging it into
a telephone wall jack, that is basically what you've got- somebody to answer an
incoming call and either:
A. Tell you it is a voice call (by ringing the phone connected to a VOICE port) or
B.
Route it to the appropriate equipment
Here’s the scenario-you are in the basement working one Saturday and the
phone rings. Of course you have 3 or 4 extension phones scattered about your
palatial estate, and particularly, one in the basement.
With The Stick plugged into a telephone wall jack upstairs, you have the option of
either “grabbing” the call before The Stick does via the basement extension or
allowing The Stick to answer the call and route it to the appropriate device.
This type of installation gives you the advantage of accessing an inbound call
from any extension- but you lose “Barge-In Protection”. Manual transfers can still
be executed from an extension phone if needed.
The Right Features For The Right Installation
In the next section, we have outlined different types of installations and included
some recommendations for feature settings that should optimize performance of
The Stick for that particular installation.
These are just recommendations. If you don’t like the way it works-mutter
something under your breath about “busybodies” and change feature settings.
We don’t mind.
