Introduction
Gold Line Group is proud to announce its revolutionary new product, GL 386 adapter; a state-of-the-art IP based telephony service that is used with your Internet connection.
GL Phone is a telephone that operates over Internet rather than over telephone lines. It is a voice over IP (VoIP) telephone service that converts voice into IP packets and vice versa. Because it is VoIP, telephone calls are very cost effective and can be made from wherever an Internet connection is available.
When you subscribe to GL Phone for the first time, you will receive a package containing the following items: (Table 1)

Making phone calls
Calling phone or extension numbers
There are currently two methods to call an extension number: a) Dial the numbers directly and wait for 4 (default) seconds. b) Dial the numbers directly and press # Examples:
• To dial another extension, such as 1008, simply pick up the handset, dial 1008 and then press “#” or wait for 4 seconds.
• To dial a number in North America you must enter the telephone number as below: 1+ (area code) + telephone number
To Dial a long distance number you must enter the telephone number as below:
011+ (Country code) + (city code) + telephone number
PSTN Pass Through / Life Line
When GL 386 is out of power, the RJ-11 line jack on the GL 386 side will function as a pass through jack. The user will be able to use the analog phone for PSTN calls directly without entering the access code. To make a PSTN call, simply press the PSTN access code (*00 is default, or any number configured in web configuration page) to switch to the PSTN line and get dial tone, then dial the number.
FAX Support
GL 386 supports FAX. It means you can send faxes with affordable international rates. To connect your adapter to a fax machine simply connect a fax to Phone1 or Phone 2 (which is configured) and start sending fax. Please note that you have to dial the destination as mentioned above.

911 Registration
GL Phone service does not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. We offer a feature known as "911 Dialing" which is a limited emergency calling service that differs from traditional 911 or E911 emergency services calling. You should familiarize yourself with the contents of this page and follow all necessary requirements and directions. Failure to do so could result in unavailability of 911 services.
Our “911 Dialing” feature is not automatic. In order to activate the “911 Dialing” feature, you must take affirmative steps to register the address where you will be using your GL Phone. You must do this for each GL Phone number that you obtain.
When you move your GL Phone to another location, you must register the new location through our web page. If you do not register your new location, any calls you make using the 911 dialing feature may be sent to an emergency centre near your old address. When traveling with your GL Phone, you should be aware that the call center that answers 911 calls will only have access to your previously registered addresses; therefore, you must be able to provide the 911 call center with your current location.
We contract a third party to use the address of your registered location to determine the nearest emergency response centre. They then forward your call to a general number at that centre. When the centre receives your call, the operator may not have your address and/or phone number. You must therefore provide your address and phone number in order to get help. You hereby authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and public service answering points, for the purpose of dispatching emergency services personnel to your registered location.
Please be aware that GL Phone requires an internet connection at all times in order to operate. Therefore, any interruptions to your internet connection and/or power failure will result in unavailability of the service, which will include 911 dialing. Please visit our Terms of Service for complete details about 911 calling, its requirements and limitations on liability.
