Instruction on Call-Back Service Registration, Installation and Usage

1. Description of Call Back

Call Back is a technical solution based on the PeterStar Internet node and the user system, allowing a Dial-Up connection to be initiated from the node side (rather than from the Subscriber side as happens usually). This makes it possible to save money on the time period during which the modem occupies a telephone line. Now this technology becomes more and more important due to the telecommunication operators charging a per-minute price for subscribers’ outgoing calls, while demand for Internet services grows from day to day.

Everything is very simple – the longer time in the Internet, the lower the payment. You may establish an Internet connection with a call back to be made by the modem to your PC (Call Back) in the following manner:

• Using network remote access you are getting connected to the PeterStar access server.
• The server checks the username and password.
• If the username and password are correct, disconnection takes place and your modem switches over to the call-waiting mode.
• In a certain period (5 to 20 seconds) our server makes a call to your telephone number.
• Your modem answers this call back, an Internet connection is being established and you proceed working in the Internet as usual.

2. Service Registration

To take advantage of the “Call-Back” service you need to register it. To register the service you may use the guest login. Having got connected using the guest login go to the server www.peterstar.ru to the section “Account Management” and enter your Login and Password to the relevant fields. On your personal statistics page click on the reference “Call-Back Service”. A new window opens; enter in the field “Telephone” your telephone number our server will be making calls to, i.e. the telephone number your modem is connected to. Having entered the telephone number press the button “Create”.

3. Service Installation and Usage

The service "Call-Back" doesn’t practically require any additional setting of your software. You only need to put :c (with no space) after your Login. If your Login is ps001, specify ps001:c in the column “Username” on the connection window (as shown in the figure). The Password doesn’t change.

Then click on the button “Establish Communication”. If all parameters have been specified and set correctly, your modem dials the number as usual, checks the “Username” and “Password”; thereafter a window pops up, in which you need to just press the button “OK” (as shown in the figure). Please note that this call will be tariffed under the tariff “Session Access – Direct Call”. As tests have shown, the amount to be withdrawn from your account for this call makes on average 0 to 2 cents.

After that your modem switches over to the call-waiting mode.

In 20 seconds you will receive an incoming call. Do not pick up the phone, if any. The modems will interconnect and the “Username” and “Password” will be checked once more. Then an Internet connection will be established tariffed under the tariff “Session Access – Call Back”.

Note: If you use one of the following tariff plans: “Home”, “Home Plus”, “Day Off”, “Night”, “Night Plus” during the time provided for by one of these tariffs, your connection under “Session Access – Direct Call and Call Back” is deemed paid. The Call-Back service is available only for direct city telephone numbers of St. Petersburg.
