Connecting an IP phone
Plug the IP phone into your switch/hub using the supplied RJ-45 cable. Refer
to the
IP Phone Configuration Guide
by clicking
Start > Programs >
TalkSwitch 5.00 > Documentation > IP Phone Guides > Adding IP
Phones to TalkSwitch
. If you are using a third-party IP phone, refer to the
user guide of the third-party IP phone for configuration instructions.
Connecting a modem
Plug the modem’s telephone cable into a unit extension jack. Your modem is
now an extension that can access all lines and take advantage of call routing
features.
If you don’t want to change your dial-up settings for the modem, enable
Direct Line Access for the extension associated to the modem. For more
information, see
Connecting a fax machine
If you are connecting a fax machine to a TalkSwitch unit, plug it into an
extension jack.
TalkSwitch provides you with three options to configure your fax machine.
Choose the best option for your office.
Option 1 — Dedicated fax line
You may already have an incoming dedicated fax line. You can leave this line
directly connected to your fax machine. Connect the remaining telephone
lines to your unit. Telephone lines will be handled by the unit and your fax
will work the way it has always worked.
A modem connected to a TalkSwitch unit operates at up to 28 kbps.
