Remote options
Remote Access
When ON, you can remotely control the device from another telephone.
When OFF*, the device does not allow remote access (factory setting).
Rings to Answer
Here you specify the number of rings until the device accepts incoming calls
to the remote control. (How many times should it ring before the device
"picks up the phone".)
You can make a selection from "1 ring" to "20 rings".
1 Ring Answer
By enabling this function, it is possible to reach the device in a targeted
manner via remote access, even if the phone line is shared with other
connected devices, such as answering machines or fax machines.
Make sure that "Rings to Answer" on the device is set higher than the
number of rings that are set for the other downstream devices. Otherwise,
the downstream answering machine will not be able to take a normal call, or
the downstream fax machine will not be able to receive a fax.
If this function is disabled (OFF), the device will answer all incoming calls
after the number of rings set in the menu item "Rings to Answer".
To acquire remote access (with "1 Ring Answer" = ON):
1.
Dial the telephone number of the device with a touchtone
telephone. Let it ring two or three times, and then hang up.
Be sure not to let it ring more than the set number of rings for
the answering machine or fax. Otherwise, these devices will
pick up the call. You should also not let it ring for more than
the set number of rings for "Rings to Answer".
2.
Wait about 10 seconds, then dial into the device again. After the
first ring, the device will immediately pick up the line. You will now
hear a series of high tones.
If the device does not respond, wait two minutes and repeat
steps 1 and 2.
3.
Now enter your four-digit remote code on your telephone. If the
code is correct, you will then hear a triple acceptance tone.
Remote access is now active.
