the associated line port. If a line is plugged into a line port and is not detected, check
your telephone line, and then choose File>Retrieve Settings to update the screen.
If networked, you will need to configure the options for all the units. At the top of the
window, select the tab for each TalkSwitch units (labeled 'TalkSwitch 1', 'TalkSwitch 2',
etc...) and follow the instructions below.
In the "Phone numbers" section:
Enter the 'main' telephone number for the appropriate line connected to TalkSwitch.
Enable the Distinctive Ring Numbers 1 and/or 2 if you have this service on the current
line and wish to have incoming calls handled 'differently' on the basis of the
distinctive ring. If you want Distinctive Ring numbers handled the same way as your
'Main' number, do not place a check mark in the box.
Next, enter the 'Distinctive Ring' telephone number for each of the Distinctive Ring
numbers associated to this line. Distinctive Ring 1 corresponds to any double ring
pattern. Distinctive Ring 2 corresponds to any triple ring pattern.
In the "Telephone company services" section:
Select any of the Telephone Company Services that you currently have for each line.
The following is an explanation of each service and the impact of selecting each option
on how TalkSwitch handles calls. For definitions and further details on how to use
these features with TalkSwitch, see Appendix B.
3-Way Calling/Conference:
TalkSwitch can work with either service to forward calls to Remote Extensions or
other external phone numbers while using the same line (Same Line Connect). You
can also use this service as an option for bridging calls to external numbers when
calling into TalkSwitch from the outside. If you find that you are having difficulties
with line volume levels when forwarding calls to Remote Extensions or using Call
Bridge, you should use 3-way calling to forward calls as a solution.
Transfer and Clear (Centrex/Plexar transfer):
TalkSwitch can clear the line after forwarding a call to a Remote Extension if your
telephone line supports this feature. If you enable this feature without actually
having the service, callers will be disconnected when TalkSwitch attempts to
forward their call to the Remote Extension.
Call Waiting:
Check this box if you have Call Waiting service on the current line. It is strongly
recommended that you remove this service from your line(s), since there is no way
for TalkSwitch to answer a second call on the same line while it is handling the first
call. You may instead want to consider adding the Hunt/Rollover service to your
lines.
