| Automatic line sharing - Lets up to 3 devices
- usually a telephone, answering machine, fax OR modem - share a single phone
line. Distinctive ring mode for
simple line sharing - When you add a second or third phone number
to your single line, the COM0550 works smoothly with Distinctive Ring service
offered by most local phone companies (different companies have various names
for this service; check with your phone company for details). In short, the
COM0550 is able to recognize specific ring patterns assigned to your different
phone numbers and route calls to the right device. Choose
"Automatic" or "Semi-Automatic" mode - The COM0550 immediately
answers every call in the "Automatic" mode. If you prefer to have all your
extension phones ring normally, the "Semi-Automatic" mode is also selectable.
The choice is yours. Yes, you can use phone company
Voice Mail and Caller ID - We've made it possible for the COM0550
to work with Voice Messaging from the phone company (requires Distinctive Ring
service activation). The system is also compatible with Caller ID service
(requires service activation). Remote Message
Notification - Never miss another important message while you're
away. Every time you receive a voice message, fax document or data
transmission, the COM0550 will automatically send a special tone message to any
desired telephone number - local or long distance. (Not compatible with tone
pagers.) Monitoring - The
COM0550 is so smart it stays on the line during every call, listening for tone
commands you send from the keypad of a telephone. So you can talk for a few
minutes, push three keys, and transfer the call to your fax machine to receive
a document. All on the same call. |
