Connecting to TalkSwitch over IP

Ensure TalkSwitch is connected to a LAN with the supplied Category 5 cable. The top
LED should light up to indicate a connection has been established with a switch or
hub. To support remote configuration over IP, you will need to map port 9393 from
your firewall to TalkSwitch. Please refer to the router/firewall manual for activating
port forwarding.
When you open the TalkSwitch software, you will be prompted to select your
connection type. Select 'Internet' then enter the public IP address of the TalkSwitch
location you wish to configure. You can click on 'Address Book' to maintain a list of
internet addresses.
Any time TalkSwitch is being configured, it is 'locked' so that no other computer or
person using a phone can make configuration changes at the same time. If you leave
the software open for longer than 1 hour, TalkSwitch will automatically unlock itself
to allow configuration changes.

2.5 Using 2 or more TalkSwitch units on a LAN

If you have only one TalkSwitch unit, ignore this section and proceed to Section 3.
2.5.1

Connecting 2 or more TalkSwitch units to a LAN

TalkSwitch, CA and CVA units can be networked together on the same LAN. Ensure you
have the appropriate firmware on all units before adding units to the LAN. Check the
support section of our website for the latest updates.
We recommend integrating your phone system into your existing LAN with an Ethernet
switch. A switch provides direct communication between TalkSwitch units, thus
keeping the TalkSwitch voice-over-LAN data isolated from other data on the network.
