CONNECT TALKSWITCH TO A NETWORK OR A PC

Connect the AC adapter provided with TalkSwitch from an electrical outlet to the TalkSwitch
unit. Never use a power adapter other than the one that came in the TalkSwitch package.
To configure the TalkSwitch unit, connect the unit via ethernet, USB or Internet to the PC with
the TalkSwitch management software installed.
The computer connection is only needed to change the configuration settings. It can remain
disconnected at other times. If you encounter difficulties opening the TalkSwitch
management software, check that all your wires and plugs are securely connected.

Ethernet connection

The top LED on the back panel beside the LAN port indicates a connection has
been established with a switch or hub.
A PC can connect directly to the TalkSwitch LAN port using a 'cross-over' cable
equipped with RJ-45 connectors.
You can use a PC that has a wireless connection to the LAN. If the router has uPNP enabled, the
TalkSwitch management software can auto-discover and connect to the TalkSwitch unit. If the
router does not have uPNP enabled, the TalkSwitch management software cannot auto-discover
the TalkSwitch unit. However the software can connect to the TalkSwitch unit if you specify its
IP address after starting the software.
Sharing computer data and TalkSwitch voice data, on the same hub can cause voice
degradation during high traffic periods. For best results, place TalkSwitch units on a switch, or
on their own hub.
1. Connect your PC to the hub or switch using an Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the TalkSwitch unit to your hub or switch using the supplied Ethernet cable.

A USB cable is supplied with specific models. The PC and TalkSwitch unit

1. Connect the cable to a USB port on your PC and to the USB port on the back of TalkSwitch.
