This chapter explains how to physically connect Call Center to a telephone and phone line. There are two basic ways to connect Call Center: Single-Line or Dual-Line.
Caution: Make sure the Call Center is not connected to the computer until instructed to do so by Call Center’s installation program (see chapter 4, “Installing Call Center Software”).
Single-Line Connection
When Call Center is in Single-Line mode, it can be used to make or receive Internet (computer-to-computer) phone calls using Skype only. It cannot make regular calls to regular (land-line or mobile) telephones while in Single-Line mode. Also, features such as Remote Internet Calling, Call Forwarding, Call Return, and Computer Answering Machine will not be available.
To connect Call Center in Single-Line mode:
1. Get the phone cable from the telephone and insert one end in the “Phone” port on the rear panel of Call Center.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cable to the telephone. The
components should be connected similarly to the gure below:
Call Center is connected in Single-Line mode. Next, go to chapter 4, “Installing Call Center Software.”
13
Page 17
Actiontec VoSKY Call Center User Manual
Single-Line Connection with Dial-Up Modem
If the computer is connected to the Internet via dial-up modem with no other phone line in the home, Call Center can only be set up in Single-Line mode.

1. Get the phone cable from the telephone and insert one end in the “Phone” port on the rear panel of Call Center.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cable to the telephone.
3. Optional: To make and receive normal calls while the comput-
er is powered down, use the supplied phone cable and insert one end of the cable in the “Line” port on the rear panel of Call Center.
4. Optional: Insert the other end of the phone cable in the “Phone” port of the dial-up modem. The components should be
connected similarly to the gure below:
Call Center is connected in Single-Line mode. Next, go to chapter 4, “Installing Call Center Software.”
Dual-Line Connection
When Call Center is set up in Dual-Line mode, it can make and receive both Internet (computer-to-computer) calls and regular (computer-to-land-line telephone or computer-to-mobile telephone) calls. Also, features such as Remote Internet Calling, Call Forward­ing, Call Return, and Computer Answering Machine will be available.
This procedure assumes the computer is connected to a cable mo­dem. If the computer is connected to the Internet via DSL modem, see “Dual-Line Connection with DSL Modem” on page 16.
