USING VOIP
The TalkSwitch system supports inter-branch connectivity over VoIP lines.
The system has 50 VoIP numbers (250-299) that can be dialed from an
extension or auto attendant. The TalkSwitch unit automatically finds the
VoIP lines for placing these calls.
Other calls are made over VoIP by dialing a line hunt group. Line hunt groups
87 and 88 uses VoIP lines by default. Set up a TalkSwitch profile or Service
Provider profile first, then set up VoIP numbers that use the profile, and then
select the profile for the line hunt group. Dialing the line hunt group at the
internal dial tone tells the TalkSwitch system to hunt for an available VoIP
line.
The TalkSwitch unit requires a VoIP module if teleworkers will use external IP
extensions. The external IP extensions are local extensions, and function like
internal IP extensions at the office.
Example:
You have three branch locations (San Francisco, New York, Miami).
Location 1: San Francisco
Twelve VoIP numbers (250-261) are assigned to four VoIP lines.
Location 2: New York
Four VoIP numbers (270-273) are assigned to four VoIP lines.
Location 3: Miami
Four VoIP numbers (280-283) are assigned to four VoIP lines.
