DI-206 ISDN Remote Router

Telephone Features

Up to two telephones can be attached to the DI-206 router via the Phone 1 and Phone 2 telephone jacks located on the rear of the router. The router enables the attached telephones to have a number of features which may or may not be found on normal telephones and are described below. Additional features which must actually be configured are described in the Interface Configuration – ISDN sub-menu section of this manual.

♦Hold – This feature is very similar with and can work in conjunction with call waiting as defined in the Interface Configuration – ISDN sub-menu section of this manual. Press Flash 0 to place someone on hold (Flash is a very brief hanging up of the phone). Press Flash 2 to take the caller off hold.

♦Hold (and pick up from another location) - Telephones connected to the router can be put on hold by pressing Flash 71, 72, 73, or 74. Press the same number to take the caller off hold and speak from another phone on your telephone network.

♦Call forwarding – If you wish to forward incoming calls to a different telephone, press *77* and then the phone number you wish to forward the call to. All incoming calls will automatically be forwarded to the phone number entered. Press #77# to cancel call forwarding.

♦Three-person conference call – To use this feature, conference calling must be enabled by the telephone company. After this is done, pick up a phone and place a call. After connected, press Flash 0 (refer to call waiting in the Interface Configuration – ISDN sub-menu section of this manual) and dial the second number. After connected, press flash 3 to speak to both parties at the same time. Press Flash 0 to hang up with the first party called. Press flash 1 to hang up with the second party called.

♦Call transfer – To transfer a call to the other phone jack on the router: if using Phone 1, press flash 20. If using Phone 2, press flash 10.

Installation and Initial Configuration

This section discusses the different connections that can be made to the router when setting it up.

Initially, you will only wish to connect the console to the router in order to configure the other ports. Once that is complete, you will need to turn off the power to the router and plug in the connection cables to the other devices. Next, power on the other devices. When they have finished powering up, power on the router. Each of these steps is described in detail in the sections below. Please skip any setting adjustments that do not apply to your configuration needs.
