1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing SkyATA, the compact analog telephone adapter for
Skype™ application. SkyATA allows you to make PC to PC free calls or PC to
landline calls through SkypeOut™ at very low rates anytime, anywhere. You can
make long distance calls or even international calls at dramatically low cost via
Skype using regular phones. By connecting SkyATA with a cordless phone or a
DECT phone, you can make/ receive a Skype call through the handset without
having to stay close to your computer. After SkyATA is integrated with office PBX,
employees can pick up desktop phone to make Skype/SkypeOut calls without the
need to install Skype in personal PC. When employees are out of office or abroad,
they can call Skype back office via smart phone to save money.
SkyATA provides a simple and convenient way of making a Multi-Call (call
switching among multiple Skype contacts) via dialing phone keypad. You can pick
up Skype waiting call by pressing ＊1 keys and switch both calls via ＊1 keys.
With SkyATA's easy and friendly User-Interface, you can make Skype calls in the
similar way as you can do with the traditional landline. Through Cheese Button
function, you can quickly switch to a SkypeOut™ call with your contact by
pressing two phone keys whenever the PC to PC Skype communication quality is
not good. You don’t need to hang up the call, look for contact’s phone number and
then call contact again.
Skype doesn’t support Speed Dial function after version 4.0, you can set a speed
dial number for a Skype contact or a SkypeOut contact from SkyATA Speed Dial
setting page. Speed dial number can be up to 5 digits 0~9 Arabic numerals.
SkyATA also supports other IM/Softphone(such as Lync, Google voice/hangouts,
Facebook Messenger, Line, Yahoo! Messenger) as an audio device. User can
make/receive an IM call from PC and then pick up phone for conversation.
Latest SkyATA device can integrate Skype video function and web camera to let
you monitor home remotely. And it is easy and free. With Remote Monitor function
enabled, you can make a Skype call to home’s Skype account which is running
with SkyATA. After pressing the preset password, SkyATA will automatically pick
up the incoming Skype call and enable Skype video. With a smart phone which
supports Skype video, you can easily make a Skype call to check home status.
Many IP CAMs need to have a fixed IP address for remote access, but there is no
such limit for SkyATA. Even when you travel abroad, it is easy and free to care
your pets at home. SkyATA supports Skype recording and it is very useful for
business and education application.
The document of SkyATA comprises of several parts as following: A quick
installation guide can help you install and use SkyATA quickly. For any questions
about this product, please refer to the SkyATA user manual or SkyATA on-line
help. On-line help can be accessed from the SkyATA system tray icon at the
