Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 1

device so your calls won’t be interrupted.
?? Remote Technical Support—If you’d like to
receive frequent updates, tips and upgrade
notifications on your Yap Jack Plus, you can

Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 1

New Features and Functionality


Features
Versions 1.2.1 through 1.2.5 provide the following new
features:
?? Accept Call—You can now set up your Yap Jack
Plus to receive incoming calls. For instructions on
setting up this feature, refer to Receiving a Call
from Another Net2Phone Device in Chapter 3,
Yap Jack Plus Calling.
?? Language Support—You can now view the LCD
menu and device functionality in three languages:
English, Spanish, and French. (More languages
will be supported in the future.) The default
language is English.
?? Masked Dialing—This new feature enables you
to insert the international dialing prefix for the
country you are in so that when you make an
outgoing international call, you will not need to
dial the US prefix of “011” as was required in
previous versions. This feature has been added
to make dialing international calls more natural to
use.
?? Dialing Prefix—The Yap Jack Plus now supports
automatically inserting a prefix (such as “9” to
gain access to an outside line) prior to the dialed
ISP access number.
?? Menu Locking—You can now lock the Yap Jack
Plus so that the menu system cannot be accessed
without the entry of a preset password. (For version
1.2.4, the default password when lock menus is
enabled is 12345. For version 1.2.5, you will be
prompted to enter a password when you enable the
lock menus feature.)
?? Mute—During a call, you can press the @ button
to mute the call so that you won’t be heard by the
person on the other end of the call. To disable
the mute function, press @ again.
?? Custom Device Name—You can configure the
Yap Jack Plus to display a custom name (up to
16 characters) on the LCD. The default message

3
Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 1

is Yap Jack Plus * Ready *. For


example, if you enter “Good Morning” as the
Custom Name, the LCD will display Good
Morning * Ready *.
?? Call Duration Display—You can now display the
duration of a call during the call, after the call, or
both.
?? Cost of Call Display—You can now choose
whether or not the device will display the cost of
a call. The cost of the call will be displayed in the
currency defined in the user’s Net2Phone
account.
?? Primary and Backup ISP Configs—You can
now specify a primary and backup dial-up ISP
and the amount of times each dial-up call is
attempted. (Default: 3)
?? Full Character Support—Full character support
is now available for the ISP phone number field
and beta upgrade server fields (version 1.2.3
supported only numeric characters). Additionally,
support for the “!” character was added for all
menu fields.
?? Configurable DNS Entries—You can configure
the DNS servers that the Yap Jack Plus utilizes
after connecting to a dial-up service. By default,
the Yap Jack Plus will attempt to use the DNS
servers provided by the ISP. If the ISP does not
provide DNS servers, it will use those entered in
the Yap Jack Plus. (Note: Net2Phone’s DNS
server is entered by default.)
?? Configurable Voice Headers—You can switch
between N2P and RTP voice headers, depending
on Net2Phone network routing. This value
should only be modified if directed to by a
Net2Phone reseller or Net2Phone support.
(Default: RTP)
?? Frames per Packet Setting—If you encounter
poor call quality because of bandwidth issues,
you can change the frames per packet setting to
1, 2 or 3. The default setting is 2. 1 can be used
when the connection is good, 3 when the
connection is poor.

Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 1

Plus firmware, and you want to take

see what firmware version you currently

Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 3

Calling Experience
Your calling experience depends on many
factors. Some of these factors you have
control over and some of them you don’t.
?? ISP Access—Because this device
dials into an ISP access telephone
number, you need to make sure that
you have the correct and the most local
direct number. You may also want to
have a few backup access numbers
available in case the one you usually
dial into becomes busy. If the access
number is busy, the device will redial
the number of times indicated in the
ISP Redial setting.
?? Disconnect/Stay Connected—If your
ISP access number is local and you
want to make many, quick calls without
dialing into the ISP each time, you can
choose to keep the Yap Jack Plus
connected to the ISP for as long as you
want. To stay connected, you need to
change the setting for Connect
Options from Disconnect to Stay
Connected. (See Chapter 4,
Configuring Your Device, for details
on how to change this setting.)
?? ISP Disconnections—Sometimes
ISPs drop connections. If this
happens, and your call is dropped,
simply place the call again.

Call Information
While your call is in progress, you can see the following
types of information:
?? Telephone number called
?? Call status
?? Time left in your Yap Jack Plus account
?? Funds left in your Yap Jack Plus account

22
Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 3

?? Call duration
?? Cost of call
?? Volume setting

progress, press the OK button until the time display
returns.

To exit out of this setting, press the OK


button until you return back to the Call
Status screen. Do not press the Exit button
to exit out of the display. If you press Exit,

Funds Left in Account

10. Press the Menu/Exit button until the LCD
displays Yap Jack Plus * Ready *, and

Using Masked Dialing


This feature enables you to insert the international dialing
prefix for the country you are in so that when you make an
outgoing international call, you will not need to dial the US
prefix of “011,” as was required in previous versions.
To use masked dialing:
1. When Yap Jack Plus * Ready * is
displayed on the LCD, press the Menu/Exit
button.

65
Yap Jack Plus User’s Guide – Chapter 5

country and press the OK button.


For example: If the prefix for international dialing
in your country is “00,” and you want to call the
UK (Country Code 44), then you should enter
“00” in the Mask Dial Prefix field so that
when you place your call, you will dial “0044,” as
usual, and the telephone number you want to call
without entering “011” first. In this example, to
call the UK, you would dial 00 + country code +
area code + number, or 0044604-870-2250.
When placing a call within your country
(outside of the US), you must still enter your
Dial Prefix and the Country Code before
entering the telephone number. To place the
call within France, for example, you would
dial 00 + country code + area code +
number, or 003356443822.
7. Press the Menu/Exit button until the LCD
displays Yap Jack Plus * Ready *, and
hang up your telephone handset.
