Modems And Telephone Line Access - Talkswitch CT.TS005.003902 User Manual

When a phone in parallel with TalkSwitch is off-hook, you notice that the
corresponding line light flickers to indicate the line is busy. TalkSwitch does
not allow extensions to interfere on a call that has the line in use.
You can change the transfer prefix to
default prefix conflicts with another device or service. To change the
transfer prefix, open the TalkSwitch configuration software and change
the setting in the Options > Transfer Options window.

MODEMS AND TELEPHONE LINE ACCESS

If your modem is attached to TalkSwitch as an extension, you can configure
it to access your telephone lines in one of two ways.
1. Enable Direct Line Access to one of your telephone lines. You don't have
to dial 9 or any other hunt group to access an outside line at the
extension where your modem is connected. Your modem will work the
same way it always has. You don't have to change your dial-up settings
for the modem.
2. If you use a telephone and modem on the same extension, do not enable
Direct Line Access. A TalkSwitch extension with Direct Line Access
immediately connects to one of your telephone lines when you pick up
the telephone's handset, preventing you from accessing other system
features without first pressing Flash on an analog extension or
on a IP extension.
You can have your modem access a specific telephone line using a hunt
group.
Change your modem's dial properties to include the intended hunt group
(9 or 81–88) followed by the letter w, before the dial-up networking
phone number (e.g. 9w789-1234). The letter w after your dial-out
access number tells your modem to dial the access number 9, wait until it
detects a dial tone, and then dial your dial-up networking number.
If your modem has problems dialing out, use a comma (,) to create a 2
second pause instead of the w (wait for dial tone).
Because TalkSwitch units are digital systems, modem calls will only
operate at a maximum speed of approximately 28 Kbps.
