How The Stick Works
When installed on a phone line, The Stick automatically answers all inbound calls
and "screens” for one of three things.
1. Fax tones (CNG - CalliNG tones)
2. Security Access Codes (in the form of DTMF/touch tones)
3. Nothing - No tones (normally voice calls)
While performing the "screening" function for fax tones, security access codes or
the absence of tones, The Stick transmits phone company-simulated "ring back"
tones to the calling party so they are “fooled” into thinking that the phone is
ringing but what is really happening is The Stick is “listening” for these tones.
After the screening function is performed, the call is routed to the proper device
leaving other phones/devices undisturbed over a single phone line.
Eliminating dedicated fax lines and
incorporating the line sharing technology
of The Stick adds up to giant savings.
Remote diagnostics and programming
capabilities make it easy for our factory-
trained technicians to make any
programming changes right over the
phone for you. Call 800-535-4651 if you
need any assistance with installation or
configuration of your Stick.
The Stick's performance is dependent on how it is installed on a home or
business phone line and what programmable features are activated. The next
section explains the different features, which optimize performance in particular
installations.
