Right click John Smith on your contacts list, and then select "Assign
Speed-Dial"

Pick up the handset or press the Handfree to receive it. When the call is ended,
please put down the handset or press the Handfree again.
If the regular phone supports FSK Caller ID function, then when receiving
incoming Skype calls, the caller’s speed-dial number will be displayed on the LCD.

So when John Smith calls my Skype, the regular phone will ring and the number 99
(speed-dial number) will be displayed on the phone screen.

By pressing *, you will get back to the Skype call, but the PSTN call will be cut
off.
8. Forwarding Incoming Skype Calls to Your Mobile
Phone or Regular Phone
The forwarding function provided by the VPET-20 will allow you to receive Skype calls
even when you leave your PC. When someone calls your Skype, VPET-20 will simply
forward the incoming Skype calls to your mobile phone so you will not miss any Skype
call.
Before leaving your PC, make sure that the driver for VPET-20 is running and Skype
is online, showed as
8.1 When VPET-20 is connected with a direct PSTN line.
That means, the PSTN line is not an extension and can dial out without any

In your PBX, you need to press 0 to catch the idle trunk line, then dial the mobile
phone number, that is to say, there is an interval between 0 and the mobile phone number.
In the telecom standard, P stands for interval.

seconds interval; PP is equal to 4 seconds interval, and so on. The quantity of P depends
on the settings of your PBX.
