As you can see in the screenshot above, when forwarding is enabled, the driver will disable the computer's ability to go to standby mode. When the computer tries to go into a standby mode, you will see the following popup:

If the computer goes to sleep, then toll bypass will not work. To turn this feature off, uncheck the "Disable Standby/Hibernate" check box. When call forwarding is enabled, incoming callers will hear a voice message indicating that the call is being forwarded. This let's the incoming caller know what is transpiring.

13. Telephone Answering Machine

AirLive USB VoIP Adapter includes a telephone answering machine (TAM) and can be configured to answer incoming VoIP and PSTN calls. The answering machine can be accessed and configured from the local telephone handset connected to TLink as well as remotely by calling into the PSTN line connected to TLink. The access is enabled via the TLink Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

The TLink TAM can be used in conjunction with or independent of any VoIP voicemail service you may be subscribed to. When you access the TLink TAM, you will be able to access the VoIP service voicemail, if subscribed, as well as the TLink voice messages. The answering machine is disabled by default. In order to enable the TLink TAM, bring up the TLink Agent -> Call handling tab and press the Answering machine radio dial for Incoming Internet calls (for incoming VoIP calls) and/or Incoming PSTN calls (for incoming phone calls) and select the desired number of rings before the TAM answers as shown below.

Note your Pin number. This can be changed and will be required in order to check messages or change the TAM options remotely. After all changes are made, press Apply and then OK.

At this point, the AirLive USB VoIP Adapter TAM will answer incoming calls after the desired number of rings. The caller will then hear the Outgoing message and have a chance to leave an incoming message.

Voicemail messages are stored on the computer in WAV format in the following folder:

C:\program files\Ovislink\Sky-211 USB VoIP Adapter\IVR\VoiceMail

14. Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

The IVR system provides access to the TLink TAM for managing recorded messages as well as configuring the TAM. In addition, the IVR provides access to Toll Bypass (explained in the Toll Bypass section) and the VoIP service provider Voicemail. The IVR system can be accessed from the local telephone handset connected to TLink as well as via calling in remotely (explained in the Remote Administrative Access section). Not all features are supported in all modes (i.e. local access versus remote access). See Appendix A for a detailed flow chart of the IVR system.

Local IVR Access

The IVR is accessed locally by picking up the TLink connected telephone handset, going off-hook and switching to VoIP dialtone. (if you have pending VoIP service or AirLive VoIP Gateway TAM voice messages, the VoIP dialtone will have a stutter dial) and pressing the '*' key. At this point the IVR system will provide all the necessary voice queues for the following:

• Listen to locally TLink TAM recorded voice mails
• Delete locally TLink TAM recorded voice mails
• Access the VoIP service provider voice mail system

- Configure the TLink TAM (record new outgoing message, restore the factory default outgoing message, ...) You can press DTMF digits while the menu is being played if you are familiar with the menu options and flow. There is no need to wait until then end of each voice queue. The same applies for voice messages browsing – you may repeat the voice message ('1'), delete the voice message ('2') or skip to next voice message ('3'), while the voice message is being played. Each menu will be played up to 3 times (5 sec silence between repetitions), if no user action taken within this time the call would disconnect with goodbye message.

Remote IVR Access

In order to access the IVR remotely, the Answering Machine OR Call forward option AND Enable administrative mode option must be set for the network (Internet and/or PSTN) you would like to call in on as shown below.

Once enable, you can call in to your PSTN line or your VoIP account to remotely access AirLive USB.VoIP Adapter. When you call in, you will hear the outgoing message or the call forward message. During the message, you should press the '*' key followed by the pin code and '*' key again. You have 3 trials to enter the pin code before the call is disconnected. Once authenticated you can do the following by listening to and responding to the IVR voice prompts:

• Make a toll bypass call (explained in the Toll Bypass section)
• Listen to and/or delete TLink TAM recorded voice messages
• Change the outgoing message
• Access the VoIP service voicemail (when calling from PSTN)
  Your pin code can be between 4 and 8 digits.

15. Toll Bypass

Once authenticated (as explained in the Remote IVR Access section), you can make a call on the other network. This is referred to as toll bypass. For example, you can call in on the VoIP network and make a PSTN call or you can call in on the PSTN line and make a VoIP call.

In order to make a call, simply enter the desired number or speed dial number followed by the '*' key and you call will be placed.

If you call in via PSTN and make a VoIP Toll Bypass call, you can terminate the call by

pressing ‘##’ (for quick termination) or simply hang up. If you call in via the VoIP

network and make a PSTN Toll Bypass call, you can terminate the call by ending the VoIP session.

16. Skype Voicemail

With TLink active, the attached telephone handset can be used to check for, and listen to your Skype voicemail.

When you have a new Skype voicemail that you have not listened to, you will hear an intermittent beep in the VoIP dial tone.

USB VoIP Gateway does not appear to be responding to incoming calls

There are several reasons why USB VoIP Gateway may not function.

■ USB VoIP Gateway may not work properly with some 4 wire (multi-line) phones.
■ Make sure the USB VoIP Gateway is connected to the PC and USB VoIP Gateway Agent is running (Green phone in the Windows System Tray).
■ Make sure the handset is connected to the Phone jack on the USB VoIP Gateway and not the Line jack.
If the Skype™ application was terminated for any reason while the USB VoIP Gateway Agent was running, you will need to exit the USB VoIP Gateway Agent and then restart it.
■ Some telephone handsets require a battery to be installed in order to ring. If your handset supports a battery, make sure there is a battery installed and that the battery is not depleted.
