3.5.4. Call management
The call management section of the UTA-151 web pages allow you to tailor what happens to
incoming land line calls. This is closely tied to the buttons on the UTA-151 as described in
section 2.6.
A number of different actions are possible for an incoming call:
1. Ring the phone as normal; eventually ringing-out to voicemail if the call is not
answered in time.
2. Allow the phone to ring a specified number of times, and then do one of the
following:
•
Redirect to voicemail
•
Divert to a specified number
•
Enter hop on/off mode (if the incoming call was over a land line)
Note that only one of the above (voicemail, divert, hop on/off) can be used at once.
Hop on/off
This useful feature allows you to take advantage of VoIP from other phones such as a mobile
phone. The basic idea is that you can use the UTA-151 to bridge between a land line and
VoIP.
So for example, you wish to make an international call from you mobile phone. This call
would be much cheaper using VoIP but your mobile phone cannot do VoIP. The solution is to
phone up the UTA-151 from your mobile, and then get the UTA-151 to connect you to the
international number over VoIP. You are billed on your mobile phone for a call to your UTA-
151, and billed for the international call on your VoIP account. But the combined cost should
be much cheaper than making a single international call on your mobile; especially if the
VoIP call is to another VoIP user and completely free. This example uses a mobile phone, but
the hop on/off feature is useful from many different types of phone.
Before using hop on/off you must select the following on the call management web page:
•
Enable unanswered call actions.
•
Enter the number of rings after which you wish the call to be answered automatically.
•
Select hop on/off.
•
Enter a valid pin number.
Now if a call is received from a land line (not VoIP) the UTA-151 will answer the call
automatically after the specified number of rings. A voice prompt will ask you to enter your
pin number, specified by you on the management web page, preventing unauthorised access.
After entering the pin number successfully, you will be presented with a VoIP dial-tone. Now
you can dial the number you really want and make a call over VoIP from your mobile phone.
Note, on most mobile phones it is possible to fully automate the process above and store the
full number sequence (including pin number) as one number in the mobile phone’s address
book. This makes it equally convenient to dial the number using hop on/off as it would be
dialling it direct from the mobile phone. If you need to insert a pause in the dialling most
mobile phones allow you to put a special character in the number sequence to cause a delay.
Please refer to your mobile phone documentation for further details.
