Cabling Procedure for TA-2410/3010

Cabling involves connecting the TalkAnytime unit to your telephone equipment, command computer, your
network (WAN or LAN), to power, and to earth ground.
1. Connect the power cord supplied with your TalkAnytime unit to a live AC outlet and to the power
connector on the back of the TalkAnytime unit as shown at top right in Figure 3-5.
Telephony Connection
2. Connect the TalkAnytime to the PC (the computer that will hold the TalkAnytime software) using the
RJ45-to-DB9 (female) cable provided with your TalkAnytime unit. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into
the Console port of the TalkAnytime unit and connect the other end (the DB9 connector) to the PC serial
port you are using (typically COM1 or COM2). See Figure 3-5. If your computer has only USB2.0 ports
and no serial ports, you will need a serial-to-USB2.0 adapter.
3. Connect a network cable to the WAN connector on the back of the TalkAnyTime unit. Connect the other
end of the cable to your network.
4. If you intend to configure the TalkAnytime remotely using the TalkAnytime Windows GUI, connect an
RJ-11 phone cable between the Command Modem connector (at the rear of the TalkAnytime) and a
receptacle served by a telco POTS line. See Figure 3-6.
The Command Modem is built into the TalkAnytime unit. To configure the TalkAnytime remotely using
its Windows GUI, you must call into the TalkAnytime's Command Modem. Once a connection is made,
the configuration process is identical to local configuration with the Windows GUI.
