Firewall ports for TalkSwitch units with four VoIP lines
Firewall ports for TalkSwitch units with eight VoIP lines
•
If you plan on configuring TalkSwitch remotely, you will need to map
port 9393 (Type: TCP) to the TalkSwitch unit that is being configured.
Configuration is done using TCP.
Prioritizing your voice data
If your Internet connection is shared between computers and TalkSwitch (i.e.
data and voice), it is critical that voice traffic has priority over data traffic.
Many routers support Quality of Service (QoS) routing for this purpose. If
your router supports QoS, ensure that it is enabled (see your router
documentation for configuration details).
DDNS Support
If you are using Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) to manage the IP
address of the SIP server, ensure that your router(s) support the specific
DDNS service that you are using.
SETTING UP A VOIP NETWORK
A TalkSwitch VoIP network can be set up in four steps:
1. Connect a TalkSwitch unit or SIP-compatible gateway at each location.
2. Select a TalkSwitch unit as SIP server.
3. Assign VoIP numbers to each VoIP location.
