1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing SkyBox S1 Skype USB Adapter. After SkyBox S1 is
connecting with company PBX trunk line or an analog phone, SkyBox S1 allows
you to make traditional landline calls or Skype™ calls, using company desktop
phone or a regular analog wired/cordless phone or a DECT phone without having
to stay close to your computer for a Skype talk. With SkyBox S1 integrated with
landline and Skype line through one cordless phone, you can carry the handset
away from computer and don’t worry about missing any landline or Skype call.
Even when SkyBox S1 is not plugged into PC USB port, landline is still available
for emergency calls. After SkyBox S1 is integrated with office PBX, employees out
of office or abroad can call office via mobile phone Skype to save money.
SkyBox S1 supports Skype or landline interrupt call. User can pick up the Skype or
landline interrupt call by pressing “＊1” phone keys and switch both calls via “＊1”
keys. If user pressed “＊2” phone keys, one three party landline and Skype
conference will be established.
Skype doesn’t support Speed Dial function after version 4.0. You can set speed
dial number for Skype contacts or SkypeOut contacts from SkyBox S1 Speed
Dial setting page. Speed dial number can be set up to 5 digits 0~9 Arabic
numerals. Speed dial list can be exported for back up and imported for future
use. Skype 8.x doesn't have any developer’s API for Skype contacts information.
You can add your contacts via Speed dial page. It is good for you to save and
export the speed dial list for usage in another PC.
SkyBox S1’s IM mode can support other IM/Softphone (Team/Skype for business,
Google voice/hangouts, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, LINE, Zoom) as an
audio device. You can make/receive IM calls from PC and then pick up the SkyBox
S1 connecting phone for conversation. If SkyBox S1 is connected with office
existing analog conference phones like from Polycom, voice quality of Skype

conference or other internet conference (SkyBox S1 IM mode) will be much
enhanced.
Voice quality of Skype 8.x is much better compared with that of Skype 7.x. And
recent Skype 8.x version can support audio/video recording and convenient file
sharing. SkyBox S1 supports Skype 8.30.0.50~8.34.0.78 version now.
