How well does the Emerson Switchboard work? It"s suppose to allow me to receive phone calls while on line.

Question

I bought the Emerson Switchboard (used), and connected it correctly. But, when I get incoming calls, I still loose my internet connection. I can't seem to find any tech data or manual on the web. I've tried numerous Emerson web sights. I seen several of the same things for sale on Ebay. I need more info on this Emerson Switchboard.

Emerson Switchboard

Answer 3

Around 12 yrs. ago a man called here asking for me by name,and I answered,the phone isn't under my name though.There was this guy I really liked and I'd ordered something at this place he worked,so I knew he had access to my #.I had hoped it was him,but then he claimed he was from Sprint.As I had picked it up on the first ring,nothing was left on the call display.He only asked if I was interested in the phone service,I said no,and the call ended shortly after.I called Sprint the next day since I didn't think it was really them who had called.They said no they hadn't and they would never ask for someone by their first name,and since the phone wasn't in my name,they wouldn't be trying to get me as a customer.I have no way of knowing if it was my crush who called,but he never followed through with anything else,so nothing ever came of it.This must sound convoluted and strange,but I always wondered who made that call and why.

Answer 4

I'm looking into getting an emerson switchboard. I just read where "if you stay on the phone for more than 20-30 seconds(depending on your isp), you will lose your internet connection." I don't know if that is your case, or if you lose your internet connection immediately.

Answer 5

Check the cable connections!
