Features
•
Built in voice modem, so no modem is required in your
computer
•
Connects via USB for easy installation
•
Press the # key on any in-house phone and you will be
connected to HomeSeer.
•
Detects when a remote party hangs up the phone. The call
is then terminated. This results in smaller voice mail
messages.
•
The box can optionally mute the incoming rings and not
send them through to your in-house phones until caller ID
is detected. This gives the phone software enough time to
detect the caller ID information and drop the call or send
the call to a voice mailbox before annoying the household
with the rings. This setting is software controlled and
settable in the HomeSeer Phone options modem tab.
•
When caller ID is detected, the ring pattern can be
changed, so important calls or calls for a specific person
can be assigned a special ring.
•
When interacting with the computer on an in-house phone,
and an external call arrives, the call is announced to you
over the phone. If caller ID information is available, this is
announced also. You can then press * (star) 9 to switch to
the incoming call.
•
From an in-house phone, you can say "dial bill smith" and
the phone software interacts with the box to dial the
number for you.
•
Dialing can also be done by number by saying "dial 911"
•
On a power failure, the box connects all in-house phones to
the outside and does not interfere with the normal
operation of the phone.
Note that the device can only handle voice, and will not act as a
data modem.
