EXECUTING AUDIBLE < READ BACK >
WITH THE STICK:
First you must enter the programming mode by dialing < # # 7 7 >.Then
press < *> and the register number you wish to read back.
Example:
• First, you press < # # 7 7 > on your touch tone phone to enter the pro-
gramming mode.
• The Stick responds with a < PROCEED > tone
• You press < *0 6 > (telling The Stick to audibly read back the value in
Register 06)
• The Stick transmits 2 < Beeps > signifying the value < 0 > (the feature is
turned off)
• After a short pause, The Stick will transmit an < OK > tone followed by
a < PROCEED > tone.
• At that time you may either < READ BACK > or program any register.
For Registers Containing More Than A Single Value — Some registers can
(or are required to) contain more than a single value, i.e. Registers 11 to 15.
Here’s a short sample of what a < READ BACK > would sound like where more
than 2 digits or symbols are programmed in the register. Let’s say the register
you want to < READ BACK > is number 13, the Security Access Code for the
MODEM port, and it is programmed as < *7 5 >:
• You first enter the programming mode: < # # 7 7 >
• Press < *1 3 > to < READ BACK > Register 13.
• The Stick transmits < Beep Beep Bip (pause) Beep Bip Bip (pause)
Beep > (Equivalent to < *7 5 >)
• The Stick immediately transmits the < OK > and < PROCEED > tones.
Note: You will receive an < ERROR > tone when entering an incorrect Regis-
ter Number on audible < READ BACK >. Never fear – TRY AGAIN!
PROGRAMMING COMMANDS:
• Save To Memory/Exit — After programming all feature values you wish
to manipulate, you will need to save the program to memory and exit the
programming mode. This can be done by dialing < 8 0 >. At that time you will
hear the < OK > tone twice. The LED will go back to normal operation, Even
if there is a power loss to The Stick, all programming is saved.
• No Save/Exit — If you wish to < DUMP > any programming you’ve done
and exit the programming mode, dial < 9 0 >. At that time you will only hear
the < OK > tone once. The LED will go back to normal operation.
• Set Registers To Factory Preset — This command sets all program reg-
isters to the factory presets. When you dial < 6 0 > all registers automatically
revert back to factory preset. The Stick will answer with an < OK > tone fol-
lowed immediately by a < PROCEED > tone. Dial < 8 0 > to save and exit.
TYPES OF TONES YOU WILL HEAR:
For Optimal Performance...
Install The Stick At The “Demarcation Point”
• < PROCEED > – Three high-pitch tones in rapid succession tell you The
Stick is ready to program a register or receive more commands in the form of
touch tones – Bee-Bee-Beep.
• < OK > – One high-pitch tone immediately followed by a mid-pitch tone
means that the numbers that you have entered are acceptable and within range
for the Register Number and feature value – Bee-Bip
• < ERROR > – A single low-pitch tone indicates that the Register Number,
feature value or program commands (we talk about those next) you have en-
tered are invalid. Common errors committed when programming could be:
–Entering the register number for a feature, let’s say it’s < PRO-
TECTED HOOK FLASH >, and you enter only part of the number. The
register number for < PROTECTED HOOK FLASH > is < 02 >. If you
enter < 2 >, The Stick will give you an < ERROR > tone.
–Entering a feature value that is outside of the program range. As
an example, we will use < PROTECTED HOOK FLASH > again. You
are only allowed to program this feature value as < 0 > (OFF) or < 1 >
(ON ). If you enter the number < 2 > after the correct register number,
The Stick will give you an < ERROR > tone.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES:
• Fax Tone Detection — This feature, when activated, tells The Stick to
detect the presence of CNG/fax tones which may be transmitted by a calling
fax machine or PC Fax card. All calls accompanied by CNG tones, whether
they be from a fax machine or PC Fax card, are routed through to equipment
connected to the device port labeled FAX. If no fax type equipment is used on
The Stick, simply deactivate this feature. Factory preset is <ON >.
The first thing you should do is place a local call to someone you know.
Ask him or her to lay their phone receiver down for a moment…but don’t hang
it up. After placing a call to your friend, wait at least five seconds before pro-
ceeding. First, dial < # # 7 7 > on your telephone key pad. The LED light will
begin blinking rapidly. Immediately listen for three rapid high-pitch beeps
in your handset. Three high-pitched tones indicate that you have entered the
programming mode and may < PROCEED >.
At this time, you should enter the Register Number of the feature you wish
to program and the proper value(s). (Example: to turn off Fax Tone Detection,
press < 0 1 0 > then press < 8 0 > to save.) If the proper register number and
programming value(s) are entered, The Stick will answer with a high-pitch tone
immediately followed by a mid-pitch tone. It sounds like < Bee-Bip >. That
means < OK >. If the numbers you enter are invalid (either for the feature register
or program value), The Stick will respond with a single low-pitch < ERROR >
tone. In either case, three rapid high-pitch tones will immediately follow telling
you to < PROCEED >. At this time you may either access and program a new
feature register or correct the previous attempt by entering new numbers.

USER MANUAL
Congratulations!
You have purchased the highest quality voice/fax/
modem call processor in the industry – The Stick!
This manual has been designed to get you, your com-
munications device and The Stick operating on the
phone line with a minimal amount of work.
When installed on a phone line, The Stick auto-
matically answers all inbound calls and “screens”
for fax tones (CNG–CalliNG tones). While perform-
ing the “screening” function for both types of tones
The Stick is transmitting phone company–simulat-
ed “ring back” tones to the calling party. After the
screening function is performed, the call is routed to
the proper device.
The Stick’s performance is dependent on how it is
installed on a home or business phone line and what
programmable features are activated.
The next sections explain the different features
which optimize The Stick’s performance in particu-
lar installations.
CALLER ID COMPATIBILITY:
The Stick is compatible with Caller ID (CID), a service available from
the phone company. In the U.S. and Canada, CID is transmitted as a Bell 202
modem signal between the 1st and 2nd rings. The Stick default factory setting
is 0 rings to answer; therefore the Rings-To-Answer count must be changed to
at least two or more rings to accommodate the passing of the Caller ID info.
To delay the Rings-To-Answer count in register 14 to 2 (minimum), sim-
ply make the following programming change:
• From a touch-tone phone on The Stick, make a call to another number
(like your cell phone) then enter the following from the keypad:
• Enter < # # 7 7 > then wait for triple tone (Bee-Bee-Beep),
• Enter < 1 4 2 > then wait for double (Bee-Beep) and triple tone (Bee-
Bee-Beep).
• Enter < 8 0 > then you will hear two double tones indicating save and
exit.
You are done programming. CID will now be received through The Stick
on all incoming calls.
DSL COMPATIBILITY:
The STICK is compatible with Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service avail-
able from the phone company. Remember, The Stick is an analog device just
like your phone while your DSL service is digital. Simply insure that the DSL
filter, which should be provided by your DSL service provider, is installed
between the DSL service connection and the Line jack on The Stick.
No additional filters are required on any devices attached to The Stick.
The DSL modem must be connected directly to the DSL service connec-
tion...NOT THROUGH The STICK. That’s all there is to it.
