InTouchTM 510
Internet Call WaitingAlert
Introduction
With the InTouch 510, you’ll never miss another call while surfing
the Internet. InTouch works with call waiting service from your
local telephone company to detect and alert you to the presence
of a call-waiting call while you’re online. You’ll know when
someone’s trying to reach you when the unit flashes its LED and
“beeps”. To connect the caller, answer the telephone plugged
into the unit. The unit will automatically disconnect the modem
and connect the call. If you ignore the call, your Internet session
should not be disrupted. InTouch is compatible with all makes
and models of personal computers, and all telephone network
services. Requires Call Waiting service from your local tele-
phone company.

Modem Settings
Your InTouch 510 will identify incoming “call waiting” calls even
when you’re online. Make sure your modem is connected to the
jack on the back of your unit marked MODEM. And be sure your
telephone is plugged into the jack on the back of the unit marked
PHONE. (Do not plug your telephone into the phone jack on your
modem. Doing so could cause the unit to operate improperly.)
You will also need to verify two settings on your computer.
1. Make sure Call Waiting is not disabled. From the Windows®
desktop, go to ‘My Computer’ and select the ‘Control Panel.’
Then select ‘Modems’. From there, select ‘Dialing Properties’.
The following window will be displayed. Make sure the ‘Dis-
able call waiting’ box is NOT checked.
Modem Connection Troubleshooting Tips
If your InTouch units fails to detect incoming calls, make sure you
have CALL WAITING service from your local telephone company,
and make sure you have not disabled call waiting in the Dialing
Properties box.

2. If your computer modem is very sensitive to loss of carrier,
you may need to modify the computer modem’s setup regis-
ter. From the Windows desktop, go to ‘My Computer’ and
select the ‘Control Panel.’ Next select ‘Modems.’ From there,
select ‘Properties’ followed by ‘Connection’ and ‘Advanced’.
Then insert the following line into the field marked ‘Extra set-
tings.’
ATS10=255
(If you already have something in the dialog box, then add
S10=255 to the end of it.)
Modem Connection Troubleshooting Tips
If your InTouch unit abruptly disconnects from the Internet as soon
as you receive an incoming call, add the “ATS10=255” string to the
Extra Settings in the Advanced Connections box.

Operation
Your modem session must be active for at least 60-seconds
(allowing time for the modem connection to become stable)
before the InTouch 510 can detect calls. The LED on the front of
the unit indicates the status of your modem and the InTouch 510
unit:
LEDState Status
Steady Green Modem not in use
BlinkingGreen Modem connecting
Steady Red Ready to detect incoming calls
BlinkingRed Incoming call detected
Receiving Calls when you are on the Internet
When an incoming call has been detected, the LED will flash Red
and the unit will beep for up to 10-seconds or until the call is
answered. At this point, you have three options:
1. Answer the telephone plugged into the unit. The unit will
isolate the modem from the line and automatically connect you to
the calling party. When you hang-up, the connection between
the modem and the line may be restored. However if your
conversation is much longer than ten seconds, the data
connection may have been terminated. (This depends on how
long your ISP waits before automatically disconnecting.)
2. Do nothing and ignore the call. If you have network voicemail
service, your call will be routed to voicemail automatically by
your telephone company
3. Hang up on your Internet session from your computer. If you
do this within 10-15 seconds, your telephones will start to ring
and you can answer the call from any telephone extension.
