Configuring the system for external IP extensions
If you are setting up an external IP extension:
1. Ensure your TalkSwitch system is connected to a network. See
Connecting to a network on
page 232
.
2. Ensure that you have set up a public IP address for the TalkSwitch system. See
Public IP
address
on page 35.
3. Ensure the router is configured at the TalkSwitch location. There should be no need to make
any adjustments to the firewall at the remote location. See
Router port forwarding
on page
36.
4. All VoIP lines are shared by default. You can also reserve VoIP lines for external IP
extensions. See
Line reservation
on page 50.
5. External IP extensions will use the preferred codec selected for the TalkSwitch profile. The
default preferred codec is G.729. You can select a different preferred codec for the
TalkSwitch profile. See
Setting codec options
on page 55.
Configuring a new SIP account
The following procedure describes setting up the eyeBeam software to register on the network
and to make itself available as a client for sending and receiving calls.
Warning:
Using an external IP extension to call an emergency service number will not send
the correct address to the emergency operator. We strongly recommend that you apply a
warning label to any external IP extension stating:
If an emergency call is made from this phone, you must provide your address to the
emergency operator.
