The USB Telephone Adapter lets you enable call forwarding for incoming Skype calls to another destination so you can be accessible via your Skype Name while away from your computer. You can also forward incoming PSTN calls. You can only enable Call Forwarding if you have Voicemail disabled.
Note: If your computer goes into Standby or Hibernation mode, call forwarding will not work. Verify that Disable standby/hibernate is selected in your Call Forwarding configuration.
Forward Incoming Skype Calls
With your USB Telephone Adapter, you can forward incoming Skype calls to a PSTN telephone number, such as your mobile telephone.
Right click on the USB Telephone Adapter in the system tray and select Configure.
In the Configuration window, select the Call handling tab.
Under Incoming Internet calls, select Call forward.
Using the drop-down box, select the number of Rings before response, which is the number of times that the telephone will ring before forwarding.
This allows you to permanently leave call forwarding on, but allows time to answer incoming Skype calls when at your computer.
Note: If you enable administrative mode, it will use the same number of rings as Call Forwarding before picking up. Calls will be forwarded if administrative mode is not accessed within 5 seconds. Click for more information on administrative mode.
Enter the PSTN telephone number to which calls will be forwarded.
Verify that the Disable standby/hibernate option is selected. If your computer goes in to sleep or hibernation mode,it will disable the ability of the USB Telephone Adapter to perform call forwarding.
Click Apply to save your changes.

To close the Configuration window, click OK.
