Operation
To test the Hi-Phone, pick up any phone in your home. You will hear
a dial tone, and should be able to dial out and use the phone
normally.
Press the “#” key on the phone. You should hear the HomeSeer
Phone software answer the call with the phrase "yes sire". It may
take a few seconds to hear the prompt the very first time you hit the
pound key.
If the software is not answering, check the following:
1.
Make sure “Internal Answer” is enabled for your line. This is
found in the “Line Specific Settings” area on the “Phone” tab of
the setup page.
2.
Check your multimedia control panel in Windows, and make
sure your preferred audio device is set to your sound card and
NOT the Hi-Phone device.
3.
Check the log window for any errors. You should see log entries
when you take any handset off hook. You can enable the
detailed event log by setting the Detailed Login option to YES
under the “Line Specific Settings” for the modem.
4.
Try the system with a single phone connected to the phone jack
on the Hi-Phone device.
5.
Right click on the Hi-Phone system tray icon and run the test
wizard. This will test the hardware. Shut down HomeSeer before
running the test wizard.
Handling Incoming Calls while working with the
computer
If you are connected with the computer and an incoming call arrives,
you will hear an announcement similar to: "excuse me, you have an
incoming call". This indicates that someone is attempting to call you.
To switch to the caller, press * (star). If you ignore the call, the call
will not be answered. If you hang up, the HomeSeer Phone software
will answer and take a message (if configured to do so after so many
rings).
