TALKSWITCH VOIP NETWORK CONFIGURATION GUIDE
SETTING UP A VoIP NETWORK
A TalkSwitch VoIP network can be set up in 4 steps:
1.
Connect a TalkSwitch or SIP-compatible gateway at each location.
2.
Select a TalkSwitch to use as the SIP network server.
3.
Assign phone numbers to each VoIP location.
4.
Configure TalkSwitch to make and manage VoIP calls.
Connect TalkSwitch or SIP-compatible gateways
In order to create a VoIP network, a VoIP-equipped TalkSwitch or a VoIP
compatible gateway, such as a Mediatrix® 2102, is required at each location
1
. The
instructions on page 2 describe how to do this.
Each location in a multi-location network can support up to 4 TalkSwitch units,
with a maximum of 32 local extensions (analog and/or IP phones) and 16 VoIP
lines
2
per location.
Example:
The following is a multi-location network where two locations are
equipped with TalkSwitch systems and a teleworker is equipped with a
Mediatrix 2102 device. TalkSwitch and the Mediatrix 2102 route VoIP calls
over the Internet, while local calls are routed over the traditional telephone
network.
