NETWORKING TALKSWITCH 48-CAs/48-CVAs
1. ATTACH TALKSWITCH UNITS TO A LAN
Connect your TalkSwitch 48-CA and/or 48-CVA units to a Local Area Network (LAN)
using one of the following methods:
NOTE: TalkSwitch unit enclosures are not designed for stacking. We recommend
wall-mounting units in a horizontal row to maximize airflow and keep the units from
overheating.
Option #1: Ethernet Switch
We recommend integrating your phone system into your existing LAN or running
TalkSwitch on its own LAN with an Ethernet switch. A switch provides direct commu-
nication between TalkSwitch units, thus keeping the TalkSwitch voice over LAN data
isolated from other data on the network.
Step A
Connect up to four TalkSwitch 48-CA and/or 48-CVA units (2 are shown here) to the
LAN switch.
Step B
Make sure a computer is connected to the phone system either via the LAN or directly
from the computer to the TalkSwitch through the USB or Serial port.
