If the client device 222 fails to receive an alert from the proxy device 210, the client device 222 continues to operate in the proxy mode and wait for an alert from the proxy device 210. Otherwise, if the client device 222 receives an alert from the proxy device 210, the client device 222 stops operating in the proxy mode and control returns to block 520 of FIG. 5 so that client device 222 may prepare to receive the incoming communication (e.g., 440 of FIG. 4).
