This one can be real difficult due to the materials required and the point of installation for The Stick. Remember, what we are trying to achieve in this scenario is “Barge-In Protection ".

The Stick can be installed in a multiple line application where either an electronic phone system (KSU or PBX) or a 2 line phone configuration exists.
