Create one and two digit speed codes to represent full phone numbers, and you can dial just one digit to phone your best friend or a family member.One digit speed codes can be in the range of 2 to 9. Two digit speed codes can be in the range of 20 to 49.The full telephone number corresponding to this code is dialed after a 4-second delay; but you can force immediate dialing by dialing # after the Speed Calling code. To set up Speed Calling from your telephone, use one of the following access codes.

You will hear a broken dial tone.* Dial the Speed Calling code you want to use, followed by the full telephone number you want to access using that code. You will then hear a confirm tone.*

Tell the first caller you’re putting the call on hold.

Press the Recall button on your telephone.

Dial the telephone number for the other person you want to include in the call.

When this person answers, press the Recall button again to link the calls together. All three of you should now be able to hear each other. (If the new person does not answer, press the Recall button again to return to the first caller.)

If you want to disconnect the new person so you’re only talking to the original caller, press the Recall button again.

If you hang up your telephone while the first caller is still on hold (that is, before you’ve pressed the Recall button to link the calls or to return to the first caller), your telephone will ring immediately. When you pick it up, you’ll be reconnected to the first caller.

If you don’t want your number to appear in someone else’s caller ID, you can withhold your number and you will be listed as anonymous. Note that if someone has set up their phone to reject anonymous calls, your call will be rejected. To control whether your calls are anonymous from your telephone, use the following access codes before you make your call.

The Content access feature will allow you to restrict content for a device or person. We have four content filtering categories that you can use to personalize your online experience.

When setting up content filtering for a person or device, you can enable any of the four content filtering categories:

1. No limits: You can access all types of content.
2. Kids appropriate: Content that is tagged as NOT appropriate for kids will be filtered and inaccessible.
3. Teenager friendly: Content that is tagged as NOT appropriate for teens will be filtered and inaccessible.
4. No adult content: All content tagged as adult content will not be accessible.

How to restrict content by enabling a filtered category on a device?

1. In the Adapt section, select the device in the app to access the device details page.
2. In the Events section, toggle the settings symbol.
3. Tap on Content Access and select one of the 4 filtered categories.
4. Tap Apply, to save your selection.

Please note that all devices associated with a person will inherit the content access settings assigned to that corresponding person. Likewise, applying content access restrictions to a device assigned to a person will apply the same settings to that person. However, if the device is unassigned, the rule will only apply to the device.

Content access will not work if Privacy Mode has been enabled or if the device is using a Private/Random MAC Address.

What is seen by the end-user when their content is blocked?

Content that was restricted by our security feature whenever you see the “Access to this website is blocked” message displayed in their browser window.

Note: This only appears for HTTP sites; HTTPS sites prevent this and display the browser’s default “can’t be reached” message. HTTPS connections cannot be redirected to the HTTP blocked page because it would break the secure trusted SSL connection.

HomePass gives you the ability to briefly freeze or pause internet access globally for multiple devices instantly through the Time Out feature.

If you want to set a scheduled Internet break, consider our Device Freeze feature.

Setting a custom Time Out for multiple devices

1. From the Home screen scroll to the Control section and find the Time out menu.
2. Under Set time out, tap on the pencil icon to create your custom time out.
3. Use the + or –  buttons to modify the Time out period in 10-minute increments.
4. Tap on the devices checkmark next to all the devices you want to be affected by this Time out.
5. Tap on Save to return to the previous screen.
6. Tap on the pause icon to activate the Time Out.  All devices selected will now have Internet access blocked. The Time Out timer will count down until expiry.
7. Use the +, – or x to modify the duration or cancel the Time Out.

What is a Time Out?

A Time Out gives you the ability to briefly freeze or pause Internet access for a person or specific device with just a few taps. This lets you easily manage Internet access in real-time in addition to setting Device Freeze schedules. There are two ways to use a Time Out:

• Set a custom or global Time Out for all people or devices  (any timeframe in 10-minute increments)
• Set a Time Out for select people or devices

What will the user see when in a Time Out?

When a device is frozen, it will not be able to access Internet content. When trying to load an HTTP site, they will be redirected to the captive screen (left). However, if it is an HTTPS site, the page will simply timeout or say it cannot be reached (right).

Non-browser devices like media players and game consoles will simply get an Internet connection error when they are in a Time Out.

Internet Freeze allows you to easily manage how much time is spent on the internet by a device or person by using a Freeze schedule or as needed.

6. Tap on Save once your schedule is complete and Apply to confirm.

Interrupt Internet Freeze

You will be able to interrupt the internet freeze by either choosing Unfreeze Until End of Day or Clear Internet Freeze to reset the freeze internet schedule.

What will the user see when frozen?

When a device is frozen, it will not be able to access content. How that is displayed depends on the content you are trying to access. If you try to load an HTTP site, you will be redirected to the captive portal screen. However, if it is an HTTPS site, the page will simply timeout or say it cannot be reached.

Plume also gives you the ability to pause internet access on a device or person instantly through the Time Out feature.

During the initial setup, the first password created is a Home zone password, although you can add more to the WPA2 SSID. Local network access to devices connected to your network in the Home zone can be selectively shared with devices connecting with a Guest zone password.

What is Port Forwarding?

Port forwarding (opening ports) allows you to open specific ports in the router’s firewall which are needed by some services to communicate to devices on your network.  A port has an internal and external value called the port number. Multiple external hosts can use the same external port number, but each internal port must be different, this allows Network Address Translation (NAT) to identify the destination for inbound traffic.

Port forwarding is necessary when you are having issues related to a restricted NAT.

Where do I find Port Forwarding settings?

UPnP allows services to automatically set up port forwarding rules, although you can also manually set up port forwarding. Manual setup can be tedious if you are setting rules for multiple services and multiple devices. You should not enable UPnP and set up port forwarding at the same time.

Because you are opening/forwarding ports in the firewall, this setting must be set in the router. If Plume is in bridge mode, you will need to set up port forwarding rules in your router. If you are using Plume in router mode, port forwarding can be set up in the HomePass app:

1. In the Adapt section, tap on the gear icon and  open the Advanced Settings.
2. You need to set an IP reservation for the local device.
3. From the IP reservation page, tap on Open Port.
4. Enter a name for the rule (each name needs to be unique).
5. Enter the External Port number the service requires.
6. Enter the Internal Port number* to be used on the device.
   • Use the same number as the external to just open the port or another number to route the traffic to a different port.
7. Choose the required Protocol.
8. Tap on Done.
9. Repeat these steps for each rule needed.
   • If the external port has already been used for one service, it is not necessary to set it again for a different service on the same device.
   • The external port number for each rule can be the same, however, the internal port number must always be unique. This means you will need to choose another internal port number for each local device.

What is UPnP?

UPnP allows a device or service to automatically configure the needed port settings on the NAT required to communicate properly with other devices and servers. Without UPnP, port forwarding rules will have to be set on the router manually, which becomes tedious if you need rules for multiple devices and/or services.

UPnP is commonly used help ensure an unrestricted NAT, which is needed for most multiplayer games.

How do I enable UPnP?

If you are running Plume in bridge mode and have a separate router, you can usually find the UPnP setting in the router’s, Firewall or NAT settings. If Plume is operating in router mode, follow the instructions below to turn on UPnP in the HomePass app.

1. In the More menu, open the Advanced Settings (Gear icon).
2. Tap on the Adapt menu.
3. Slide the UPnP toggle to the right.

Each pod is provided with a default name when you set it up the first time. Renaming a pod allows you to choose your own pod names, making it easier for you to identify the pods and their location.

1. From the Home screen scroll down to the Adapt section and tap on the pod you wish to rename.
2. Tap on the ⋮ and choose the Rename pod option.
3. The LED on the pod being renamed will be blinking. Type in the new name for the pod and then on Save.

Advanced IoT Protection (AIP) is a security advancement found in Plume Guard.  Prior to its release, Online Protection protected all your connected home devices from going to sites known to host malware, spam, or phishing attacks. AIP provides protection from new, unknown attacks that are currently not part of any known threat intelligence database. It can detect unusual patterns in your IoT device’s activity that indicates the device may be infected.

Advanced IoT Protection can be enabled via the Guard tab from within the more menu.

If there is a suspicious activity blocked event, you probably received a push notification warning you that a smart home device went to a website which is considered unusual compared to its normal behavior. There is no required action on your end other than enjoying the peace of mind that Plume is protecting you and your family!

When an anomaly is detected, the device will automatically be placed into quarantine to protect the integrity of your network and the devices connected to it. Quarantining the device effectively places “Internet Only” permission on the device, allowing basic functionality while preventing access to your other home devices.

Advanced IoT Protection (AIP) uses machine learning on device network metadata to establish known behaviors. However, sometimes safe sites can be flagged as a false positive. If a new behavior comes across our large training samples or if device behaviors are updated by the vendor, the device may be incorrectly flagged. Learning happens continually to establish new normal behaviors, however can cause some alerts in the interim.  If you trust the website the device is accessing, you can whitelist it for the device and for all devices in the home.

When Should I Remove a Device From Quarantine?

You should only remove a device from quarantine if you trust the website it was trying to access. On a quarantined device, there is a recommendation that will open a web search for the device’s manufacturer website, so you can do more research or find updated firmware before removing the device from quarantine.

Removing a Device from Quarantine

1. Open the device list and navigate to the Internet Only devices.
2. Find the affected device. The affected device will be labeled: Device is quarantined.
3. Tap on the quarantined device for more options.
4. You can choose Unquarantine for 1 hour or Unquarantine permanently.

Adblocking will help you block web and video advertisements as well as requests to known ad servers. You can enable this for either a device, person profile, or everyone. When you enable Adblocking for a person, this setting will be applied to all the devices assigned to that person.
