Problem:
I am unable to configure TalkSwitch using a touchtone phone and the
Keypad Commands.
• TalkSwitch cannot be configured using a phone connected in parallel to
TalkSwitch.
• If you are trying to configure TalkSwitch using an Out-of-Office phone, you
must first enter Command Mode. If you have enabled password protection,
you must also first enter the correct password.
• If you are trying to configure TalkSwitch using a Local Extension, make
sure the extension has not been given 'Direct Access' to your telephone
lines. If so, you will have to dial flash 4 to receive internal dialtone.
Problems that may occur while using TalkSwitch's features
The Auto Attendant:
Problem:
The Auto Attendant does not play when calls come in.
• Make sure you have recorded the Auto Attendant message.
• Check your Call Handling settings for the 'Auto Attendant answers' number
of rings. It may be that the number of rings after which the Auto Attendant
is set to answer calls is set too high.
Problem:
The Auto Attendant message is broken up or very faint.
• Adjust the Auto Attendant Playback volume setting located in the Auto
Attendant tab in your Incoming Calls folder of the Configuration software.
You may also attempt to re-record the Auto Attendant after increasing the
record volume.
• The quality of the microphone in the telephone handset that you are using
to record your Auto Attendant also affects the quality of your recording. Try
recording the Auto Attendant using another extension/telephone.
Problem:
The Auto Attendant answers calls before any of the extensions ring.
This is a problem for those TalkSwitch users who wish to have their local
extensions ring before the Auto Attendant picks up incoming calls.
• Check the 'Extensions to ring on incoming call before Auto Attendant
answers' setting in the Call Handling tab in the 'Inbound Calls' folder. It
may be that the number of rings after which the Auto Attendant is set to
answer calls is set too low. (More specifically, check to see if the Auto
Attendant is set to answer calls before the extensions are set to begin ringing
in the extensions to ring on incoming call section.)
