4.2.1.1. PhoneJack PCI
The PhoneJack PCI card is a PCI-based short form card that plugs into any standard desktop PC.
It works under Windows 95, 98 and NT operating systems. Note that Windows 2000 is not
supported in version 3.2 (Quicknet plans to support Windows 2000 in their 4.0 software release).
Install the card and the Internet SwitchBoard software as indicated in the Installation Manual that
comes with the PhoneJack. Connect a standard analog phone such as the Aastra 9316CW to the
PhoneJack. The installation instructions also provide some tests that you can conduct to verify the
installation of these cards. Conduct these tests and make sure that you have installed the
PhoneJack and SwitchBoard correctly.
4.2.1.2. PhoneCard
PhoneCard is the PCMCIA version of the Quicknet adapter that provides the same functionality
as the PCI version for laptops. It works under Windows 95, 98 and NT operating systems. Note
that Windows 2000 is not supported in version 3.2 (Quicknet plans to support Windows 2000 in
their 4.0 software release). One big difference between the PhoneJack and the PhoneCard is that
PhoneCard does not provide support for plugging in a phone out-of-the-box. You need to get
another component called the SmartCable that lets you connect a standard phone to the
PhoneCard. However, the PhoneCard comes standard with a Jabra earpiece that acts like a
headset.
Install the card and the Internet SwitchBoard software as indicated in the Installation Manual that
comes with the PhoneCard. Connect a standard analog phone such as the Aastra 9316CW (if you
have the SmartCable) or the Jabra earpiece to the PhoneCard. The installation instructions also
provide some tests that you can conduct to verify the installation of these cards. Conduct these
tests and make sure that you have installed the PhoneCard and SwitchBoard correctly.
4.2.1.3. Software Configuration
In order to configure the phone connected to the PhoneJack or the PhoneCard to be an IP
extension on an AltiServ system, follow these instructions:
1. In the menu bar of the Internet SwitchBoard application, click the Phone button (the
leftmost button) and choose SwitchBoard Wizard.
2. This will launch the SwitchBoard wizard. Keep clicking on the Next button until you
reach the Speed Dial section.
3. In the Speed Dial section, move the mouse pointer to the speed dial list and right click the
mouse.
4. In the menu that comes up, choose New -> PC to PC. This will bring up a dialog box
with several fields to create a speed dial entry.
5. In the Address field, enter the IP address of your AltiServ system. In the Number field,
enter your extension number. You can enter a meaningful name for the entry in the Name
field. Click OK to save this entry.
6. You will be returned to the list of speed dial entries. Highlight the entry you just created
by clicking on it, and then check the Hot Line checkbox at the bottom.
After this configuration is done, when you pick up the phone, if the extension has been set up to
be an IP Extension with static IP address, you will get a dial tone from the AltiServ system. You
can make and receive calls from this phone just as if it were a regular analog extension. If the
extension has been set up as an IP extension with dynamic IP address, the AltiServ system will
