Configuring the system for external IP extensions
If you are setting up an external IP extension:
1. Ensure your TalkSwitch system is connected to a network. See Connecting to a network on
page 218.
2. Ensure that you have set up a public IP address for the TalkSwitch system. See Public IP
address on page 35.
3. Ensure the router is configured at the TalkSwitch location. There should be no need to make
any adjustments to the firewall at the remote location. See Router port forwarding on page
36.
4. All VoIP lines are shared by default. You can also reserve VoIP lines for external IP
extensions. See Reserving VoIP lines on page 53.
5. External IP extensions will use the preferred codec selected for the TalkSwitch profile. The
default preferred codec is G.729. You can select a different preferred codec for the
TalkSwitch profile. See Setting codec options on page 56.
Programming the TalkSwitch IP phone as an external IP extension
If you are setting up an external IP extension, program the following settings into the phone.
On the phone:
1. Press the Options key.
2. Use the cursor keys to navigate to the Network Settings menu, and then press Enter
or Show.
3. Enter the password. By default this is 22222. When the TalkSwitch unit configures the
phone, it changes the password to 23646 (which spells "admin" on the telephone keypad).
4. Use the cursor keys to navigate to the TFTP Settings menu, and then press Enter or Show.
5. Select Primary TFTP, and then press Enter or Show.
6. Use the keypad to enter the public IP address or FQDN of the TalkSwitch system, and then
press Set or Done.
7. Reboot the phone. After a short delay, the phone will indicate it is initializing the network,
checking for firmware updates, and following automatic programming steps. During this
process the phone contacts the TalkSwitch unit, which automatically registers and
configures the phone. When complete, the phone will display the extension name and
extension number. The phone is now ready for use.
