Configuring the system for external IP extensions
If you are setting up an external IP extension:
1. Ensure your TalkSwitch system is connected to a network.
2. Ensure that you have set up a public IP address for the TalkSwitch system.
3. Ensure the router is configured at the TalkSwitch location. There should be no need to make
any adjustments to the firewall at the remote location.
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.
