In order for a computer to make a phone call to an analog phone line, a device is required to connect the computer and the phone line. In the old days, Voicent used a voice modem that was installed on a PCI slot. However, this solution no longer works for Windows Vista and later Windows OS.

Starting from release 8.4.1, Voicent supports analog phone lines by using Cisco SPA3102, which is a single line phone adapter. The device can be connected to a computer through the local network, which makes it easy to install and also ensures compatibility of various Windows operating systems.

For more info, please see Setup Cisco SPA3102 for Voicent.

This will only let me run the task once a day. I need to run it every 1/2 hour. Is there a way to do that?

Yes. The task trigger can be triggered daily but once it is triggered, it can repeat itself. To set it up, open the task trigger tab, and set the repeat in the Advanced options.
