1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing SkyBox S1 Skype phone saving box. After SkyBox S1
is connecting with company PBX trunking 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. Integrating landline and Skype
line through one cordless or DECT 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 Skype back office via smart phone to save money.
SkyBox S1 supports Skype or landline waiting call、Multi-Call (call switch
among multiple Skype contacts) and Conference call (talking to several Skype
contacts simultaneously). User can pick up Skype or landline waiting call by
pressing ＊1 keys and switch both calls via ＊1 keys. SkyBox S1 also supports
landline and phone ports Auto-detection and Auto-swapping to prevent user’s
neglect to have wrong connection for both RJ11 ports. Through Cheese Button
function, you can quickly switch to a SkypeOut™ or landline 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 speed
dial number for Skype contacts or SkypeOut contacts from SkyBox S1 Speed
Dial setting page. Speed dial number can be up to 5 digits 0~9 Arabic numerals.
Speed dial list can be exported for back up and imported later. SkyBox S1 also
supports other IM/Softphone (Lync, Google voice/hangouts, Facebook
Messenger, Line, Yahoo! Messenger, …) as an audio device.
You can make/receive an IM call from PC and then pick up phone for

conversation.
Latest SkyBox S1 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 SkyBox S1. After pressing the preset password, SkyBox S1 will
automatically pick up the incoming Skype call and enable PC 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 SkyBox S1. Even when you travel
abroad, it is easy and free to care your pets at home. SkyBox S1 supports
Skype recording and it is very useful for business and education application.
