Multi-Link Stick 4-Port Fax Switch

Multi-Link Stick 4-Port Fax Switch

The Stick® is a state-of-the art telephone line sharing device (1x4) that screens and automatically routes all voice, fax, and modem calls to the right equipment every time - eliminating the need for costly dedicated phone lines.

Also known as a fax switch, call processor, call router, call director, line concentrator/consolidator. Highly flexible programming and a rich feature set make this unit adaptable to a wide range of working environments, industries, and applications.

The Stick® works on a standard POTS line and answers inbound calls at the first sign of ring voltage. After The Stick® goes off-hook, it immediately screens for CNG (fax) and DTMF transfer codes. During this ~5.5 sec processing period, a bell spec "ring back" is issued out to the calling party. Once a transfer command is received, the call is routed to the corresponding port. In the absence of fax/transfer codes, the call is defaulted to the voice ports. Outbound calls are processed in the normal fashion with barge-in protection.

The Stick® is programmed by touch tones from a phone key pad.
