Once the setup is complete, the Multi-Link Interface Adapter Window will be opened on your 
desktop.  The Multi-Link Interface Adapter will be available in the Start → All Programs selections. 
2.3  Optimizing Skype Settings 
To improve your operational performance, there are a couple of Skype™ options you may want 
to change. 
 
A system restart after setup is advised. 
Sound Devices 
The TeleVoIP Stick™ uses the sound card for control. You may find it works better to disable the 
Skype™ Control for your sound device settings.  
 
Go to Skype™ window Tools=>Options and select Sound Devices. On the screen displayed, un-
check the item Let Skype adjust my sound device settings
 
Ring In Tone 
With the TeleVoIP Stick™, the phone(s) connected to the Stick’s phone jack are rung on incoming 
calls by a built in ring generator that creates a normal phone-company-sounding ring on the 
device(s).   
 
When you are on a Skype™ call and a second Skype™ call is received, a Skype™ selected ring 
tone is created on the computer to announce the new call.  
 
If you are using the Desktops Speaker and Microphone for the first call, the second call’s ring will 
be heard over the speakers.   
 
However, if you are using the phone on a Skype™ call, the ring tone for a second incoming call 
will be heard during the call in progress.  
 
To be less intrusive, an alternate 
TVSRingin.wav
 file is placed in the  
..\Program 
Files\MultiLink Adapter Interface
 folder during installation. You can chose this Ring In tone 
by going to Skype™  Tools=>Options=>Sounds and selecting a new sound for Ring Tone.   
 
Select the browse 
 icon, select Skype ringtone in the My Sounds list, select Browse…and go to 
the installation folder for the Multi-Link Adapter Interface. Choose the 
TVSRingin.wav
 file.  
 
You will find it has a shorter duration and lower volume that is not as disruptive in the background 
of an ongoing call 
3. General Operation 
The Multi-Link Adapter Interface must be running for the TeleVoIP Stick to work.  Using the File 
Menu options, you should set the application to be launched at startup. 
 
Once started, the Multi-Link Adapter Interface operates much like the Skype™ window in that if 
you click the RED “X” in the upper right of the window it minimizes it into the Sys Tray.  
 
You can access the most frequently used functions of the window by right-clicking the SysTray 
icon and selecting the operation.  
 
The functions available from the SysTray are:
