SETTING UP LINE HUNT GROUPS
If a VoIP-enabled TalkSwitch unit is present, hunt group 88 uses the TalkSwitch VoIP network by
default, and the other hunt groups use telephone lines. You can modify these default settings as
described on page 249.
Note that the user does not have to dial the hunt group number before VoIP numbers 250–299:
these automatically use the TalkSwitch VoIP network.
If 50 VoIP numbers aren’t enough for the network, you can set up longer VoIP numbers. To reach
a longer VoIP number, the user will first dial a hunt group number.
A local extension can be restricted to a set of hunt groups in order to control access to VoIP
networks. See
Hunt group permissions
on page 64.
ADVANCED VOIP CONFIGURATION
Optionally, perform advanced VoIP configuration.
1. The default preferred codec is
G.729
. You can select the
Preferred codec
for the TalkSwitch
profile. All locations must use the same codec. See
Setting codec options
on page 247.
2. VoIP calls use extension names for caller ID by default. You can set the source for VoIP caller
ID at each location. The same setting will be used by the TalkSwitch profile and all service
provider profiles. See
Setting up caller ID
on page 250.
3. All VoIP lines are shared by default. You can reserve VoIP lines for the TalkSwitch profile at
each location. See
Reserving VoIP lines
on page 250.
SAVING SETTINGS TO TALKSWITCH
To transfer settings from your computer to the TalkSwitch system, choose
File > Save
. A window
appears indicating the configuration is being sent.
VERIFYING THE TALKSWITCH VOIP NETWORK
If you are configuring the TalkSwitch profile for the SIP server, the window enables the

window with a list

registrations with the SIP server will expire.
1. Select the

IMPORTANT:
Ensure that hunt group 9 or 0 is assigned to the group of telephone lines or VoIP
trunks used for calls to emergency services.
