TalkSwitch settings and configurations
In the event of a power failure, your TalkSwitch settings and configuration will not be lost.
The TalkSwitch configuration is stored in non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory means
your feature settings (configuration) remain in the TalkSwitch memory despite interruptions in
the power supply.
Calling features
In the event of a power failure, TalkSwitch features or capabilities, including VoIP, will be
unavailable except for extension jack E4. Calls can be made or received via a direct connection
to Line 1 on the same unit. Since the connection is direct, calls must be dialed without a hunt
group. When the power is restored, all features and capabilities will be re-established.
Mode scheduling and power interruptions
When the power supply to TalkSwitch has been interrupted, TalkSwitch's internal clock will
continue to run for up to 12 hours. If you have enabled the automatic mode scheduling feature
and it has been longer than 12 hours, TalkSwitch will not function properly until the internal
clock is reset via a caller ID call or with the TalkSwitch management software. When power is
restored to TalkSwitch, it will check the time and determine the mode it should be running
according to the configuration and set itself to that mode.
To check the current mode of operation:
1. Enter command mode by either pressing # on an analog extension phone, or *55# on an IP
phone.
2. Dial the system password + #.
3. Dial 30#. TalkSwitch will report the current mode.
