Configuring the TS-850i for use outside the office
An external IP extension is located outside the office (e.g. an office phone within the home),
and connects to your TalkSwitch system over the Internet. The TalkSwitch system must be
equipped with a VoIP module.
Before configuring a phone, ensure that no handsets registered with the associated base are
being used. If a handset is on a call, the call will be terminated when the system resets the base
during configuration of the phone.
1. Launch the TalkSwitch management software.
2. Select the
Local Extensions/Fax
page.
3. Select an available extension number.
Activate extension area
1. Ensure the
Activate extension
check box is selected.

.
3. Enter the user’s
First name
and
Last name
. The names are used for caller ID, and appear
within other pages of the TalkSwitch management software. The
Last name
is used with the
dial-by-name directory.
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.
