What is SPOT?
SPOT software:
SDX supply a range of
software packages that use
the features of SPOT. Each
of these includes its own
help files.
Welcome to SPOT, the handsfree telephone that you can
control directly from your computer. With SPOT you can
dial calls automatically from your PC applications, send
and receive faxes, use voicemail and answering machine
software, and access on-line information services.
All this functionality is provided within SPOT, which
simply connects to your PC's serial port. You do not need
to dismantle your PC in any way (which might invalidate
your PC warranty).
This User's Guide explains how to install SPOT and
provides guidelines for using telephony aware packages
with SPOT.

Connecting SPOT to a Telephone Socket
SPOT plugs into a modern style telephone jack socket. If
you do not have this type of socket, contact your
telephone line provider to have a suitable socket installed.
To connect SPOT as a telephone:
1. Plug the SPOT phone lead into the
LINE
socket under the
SPOT phone.
2. Plug the SPOT handset lead into the
H/SET
socket under
the SPOT phone.
3. Use the channels in the base of the SPOT phone to route
the cables as you prefer.
4. Plug the SPOT phone lead into your telephone socket.
5. Plug the SPOT power supply unit into a mains supply
socket and switch on.
6. Plug the power supply cable into the socket under the
SPOT phone.
7. Test the connection by making a normal phone call. If
this does not work check the cable connections first. If
the cables are okay, switch the SPOT from MF (tone)
dialling to LD (pulse) dialling (see page 10). If it still does
not work, try making a call with another phone in the
same socket.
8. Go to "Connecting SPOT to Your PC" on page 7.
Phone Ringing Problems
Every piece of telephone equipment has a REN value. The
total REN of the all the equipment connected to a line must
not exceed 4 to guarantee proper ringing and operation.
When the SPOT power supply unit is connected and on,
SPOT has a REN of 1.5.
