3.  When user makes a Conference Call to a contact with Skype Voicemail 

enable, the call will be put separately when Voicemail function starts. The call 
won’t join Conference automatically. User can decide to hang up the call by 
pressing “

*

” key. Then a dial tone comes up and user can decide to make a 

new call or go back to the Conference by pressing Conference function key 
“

*

” again.   

4.  When user makes a Conference Call to a contact with an answering machine 

phone, please be reminded the Conference conversation might be recorded 
by the answering machine. For confidences, user can choose to hang up the 
phone and re-establish the Conference call for this case. 

 

4.11.2 Hang up a Conference Call 

User can hang up the phone to close the Conference call. 

 

4.12 Skype Remote Monitor 

SkyATA-101 can integrate Skype video function and Web CAM to let user monitor 
home remotely. And it is easy and free. With Remote Monitor function enabled, 
user can make a Skype call to home’s Skype account which is running with 
SkyATA. 

(Don’t set Skype’s built-in call forwarding function in home’s Skype 

account or login this Skype account in another PC.) 

SkyATA-101 will 

automatically pick up the incoming Skype call and enable PC Skype video after 
user presses the preset password. With a smart phone which supports Skype 
video, user can easily make a Skype call to check home status. Compared with 
many existing IP CAMs which need a fixed IP address for remote access, 
SkyATA’s remote monitor function is easy and free. Even when user travels 
abroad, you can care your pets at home easily and free. 

This function is only 

available for latest SkyATA-101 hardware.   

User can click SkyATA-101 tray icon at the right-bottom corner of Windows 
desktop with right mouse and choose Remote Monitor, then Remote Monitor 
window will pop out. User needs to click “Enable Remote Monitor when receiving 
a Skype call” and choose to accept all incoming Skype calls or only assigned 
Skype accounts for this function. Then set password for this function. Password 
can be up to 6 digits 0~9 Arabic numerals. 

If user chooses to accept all incoming 

Skype calls for remote monitor, password is not necessary. Password is 
necessary for accepting assigned Skype accounts setting.
