91 3.0 Using TalkSwitch
Music-on-Hold and Call Forwarding to Remote Extensions:
If you are using the telephone company's 3-Way Calling/Conference service
(Same Line Connect) to activate TalkSwitch's Call Forwarding, callers will not
hear your 'music' when being forwarded to a Remote Extension. When calls are
forwarded, the caller is put on hold by the telephone company central office
switch rather than at TalkSwitch. Therefore, the caller hears silence while being
transferred.
A system prompt will indicate that callers will hear silence while the system tries
to locate their party. This prompt helps explain to callers why all of a sudden they
may hear silence for an extended period of time before possibly connecting to the
Remote Extension. This prompt cannot be disabled.
If you have 2 or more units on a LAN, you will need to supply a music
source to each TalkSwitch unit. 1/8” audio splitters can usually be found at
most electronics stores.
3.6 Mode Switching Options

You can use Telephone Keypad Commands at either a Local Extension or at the
Auto Attendant to have TalkSwitch switch Modes.

mode, then enter a password if necessary. Next, dial any of the following Quick

Automatic Mode Switching using the Time Scheduler:

TalkSwitch's Time Scheduler feature. You can configure TalkSwitch to

to the proper mode during the next scheduled mode change.
