LAN PORT You can connect to an Ethernet hub using a Category 5
cable with RJ-45 connectors. This will support
configuration across the LAN. If you have 2 or more
TalkSwitch 48 units, you can ‘network’ them and they
will function as a single system. There are 3 LEDs next
to the LAN port. The top LED is on when a link has been
established with any TalkSwitch or PC running
TalkSwitch software. The 2nd LED is on when data is
being received and the 3rd LED is on when data is being
transmitted.
E1 - E8 Plug in any analog device that uses a standard (RJ-11)
telephone jack, such as: telephones, fax machines,
internal or external PC modems, etc. TalkSwitch identi-
fies the extensions as 1x1 to 1x8. (x represents the unit
ID number assigned to that TalkSwitch unit). By default
all TalkSwitch units are shipped with a unit ID = 1. This
means the extensions are 111 to 118. If it had unit ID 2
then they would be 121 to 128.
For details on setting up
2 or more units on a LAN to operate as ‘networked’
units, please see section 1.5.
L1/L2, L2, L3/L4, L4 This is where you plug in your telephone lines (RJ-11).
If you have 2 lines out of 1 phone jack, you can plug into
the 1/2 and 3/4 jacks.

in an area prone to lightning strikes.
