You can set a Netopia Router to make scheduled connections using designated connection profiles. This is
useful for creating and controlling regularly scheduled periods when the router can be used by hosts on your
network. It is also useful for once-only connections that you want to schedule in advance.
The Netopia R2121 Dual Analog Router can answer calls as well as initiate them. To answer calls, the Netopia
R2121 uses a Default Answer Profile. The Default Answer Profile controls how incoming calls are set up,
authenticated, filtered, and more.
This chapter also describes how to use the Netopia R2121's SmartPhone™ feature. With SmartPhone, other
analog devices such as telephones, facsimile machines, or modems can connect to the Netopia R2121 and
communicate over the same lines. The Netopia R2121 with SmartPhone provides:
Caller ID support for call authentication
distinctive ring detection, primarily for party line sharing
parallel off-hook detection, preventing the Netopia R2121 from initiating calls when the telephone line is
otherwise busy
auxiliary telephone control, allowing management of whether a "downstream" phone can pre-empt or
interfere with a Netopia R2121 data call. This is also called Call Bumping and Squelch Blocking.
