NOTES:
-These
are not the official instructions and are in no way
associated
with Allstar Marketing or Emerson in any way. These
instructions
worked for me, so hopefully they will work for you.
-You
MUST
have call waiting for this to work.
1) Disconnect
ALL
telephone wires from everything (computer, telephone, wall, and fax). It
is also recommended that you shut down your computer, but you do not have
to.
2)Turn off
the Switchboard. (The switch is on the right hand side, for those of you
trying to find it.)
3) Connect
one end of a telephone wire to the wall jack. Once connected, plug the
other end of the same wire into the "Wall Jack" socket in the Switchboard.
4) Take another
phone line and plug one end into a phone. Plug the other end of the same
wire into the Switchboard where it says "Phone".
5) Take one
end of another telephone wire and plug it into the modem (on most computers,
it says "to wall jack" or something like it). Plug the other end of the
same cord into the Switchboard where it says "Modem".
6) Take one
end of another cord and plug it into your fax machine, if you have one
(if not, just don't connect anything in the Switchboard). Take the other
end of the same cord and plug it into the Switchboard where it says "Fax".
7) If you're
computer is turned off, turn it on. Open you're Internet Service Provider
(America Online, Prodigy, MSN, etc.).
8) Turn on
the Switchboard. Make sure that the battery is working, if you're using
a battery. It is recommended that you test it in a fire alarm or something
that uses a 9V battery.
9) Before
signing online, make sure that you're call waiting is turned off so
you can recieve calls or faxes. If you need help, see the help file in
your Internet Service Provider. If you have America Online and would like
to know how to do disable Call Waiting, click

10) Sign on
to the internet and whenever somebody calls, you're phone should ring.
