Setting Or Changing The Unit Id; How Unit Ids Affect System Extension Numbers - Talkswitch 24-CA User Manual

1.9.3 Setting or changing the unit ID

Units are shipped from the manufacturer with unit ID 1. If two or more units
are placed on the same LAN with the same unit ID number, it causes a
conflict. All the line lights on the front panel of the units are flashing. You
have to assign a different unit ID to each of the units.
To change the unit ID, the configuration software must be closed!
1. Pick up a telephone handset connected to one of the extension jacks on
the unit and press
2. Enter a password if prompted.
3. Now, you have the following options:
Keys
#
00
#
01
#
02
#
03
#
04
The system indicates that the update was successful and the front panel
lights stop flashing after a few seconds. When the front panel Data light is
on solid, the units are ready for network use.
No IP information is required to configure TalkSwitch since it does not
use the TCP/IP protocol for voice traffic over the LAN. IP configuration is
required for remote management, voicemail to e-mail notification or for
VoIP.

1.9.4 How unit IDs affect system extension numbers

After successfully changing each unit ID to a unique number, it can be
identified by the network. More importantly, each local extension, remote
extension, and voice mailbox has a unique numbering system. The second
digit in the three digit identifier is the unit ID number, up to unit 4. See the
following diagram and table.
