Chapter 8
Using Telephony Services
If you have an AR140 Internet Router with phone ports, you can connect up to
two telephones, facsimile machines, answering machines or modems. You can
use them in the same way that you use them on a regular telephone line. You
can use one of these phone ports even when one of the ISDN channels is being
used for a data call, and can configure your router to disconnect data calls for
outgoing phone calls or not as suits your situation.
The router supports ISDN supplementary services available in North America.
These services must be provided on your ISDN line before you can use them on
your AR140. Check with your telephone company to confirm whether these
services are available to you and if so, if there are any additional charges for
them. Typically these features are only supported on your first directory
number, in which case you may want to request that they be supported on your
second directory number as well. This usually costs more.
The supplementary services supported are:
I
Call Waiting - requires Additional Call Offering (ACO) on your ISDN line.
I
Conference (3-way) Calling - requires Flexible Calling on your ISDN line
I
Implicit Call Transfer - requires Flexible Calling on your ISDN line
I
Call Forwarding
I
Reminder Ring

Call Waiting

ISDN Call Waiting is supported in North America only, and allows you to place
a call on hold while you answer another incoming call on the same directory
number. By default call waiting is disabled on both phone ports, but can be
enabled on either port from the Phone and ISDN Information page (Figure
7-4).
The Call Waiting feature on your ISDN line works the same way it does on a
regular analog line.
I
After hearing a call waiting indicator tone, press and release the flash hook
button on your telephone. This will put your current call on hold, and
answer the incoming call.
