LOCAL EXTENSIONS/FAX

A local extension can either be an analog extension or an IP extension.
An analog extension is a device (standard phone, cordless phone, fax machine or modem)
connected to an extension jack on the TalkSwitch unit.
An IP extension can be internal or external. An internal IP extension is an IP phone connected
through the LAN to the TalkSwitch unit. An external IP extension is an IP phone located outside
the office. It is connected to the TalkSwitch system through the Internet. External IP extensions
require a VoIP-enabled TalkSwitch unit. See Adding IP phoneS on page 82 for more information.
Each TalkSwitch unit can have up to 16 local extensions. Either four or eight local extensions
can be analog or IP extensions, depending on the model of the TalkSwitch unit. The remaining
twelve or eight local extensions can only be IP extensions.
All local extensions are active by default. If you plug a standard phone into an extension jack, it
will be ready to make and receive calls. However configuration is required to set up an
IP extension.
The first eight local extensions are numbered as follows:
• TalkSwitch Unit 1 — 111 to 118
• TalkSwitch Unit 2 — 121 to 128
• TalkSwitch Unit 3 — 131 to 138
• TalkSwitch Unit 4 — 141 to 148
The next eight local extensions can only be IP extensions, and are numbered as follows:
• TalkSwitch Unit 1 — 151 to 158
• TalkSwitch Unit 2 — 161 to 168
• TalkSwitch Unit 3 — 171 to 178
• TalkSwitch Unit 4 — 181 to 188
Note that dialing 101–108 will ring local extensions 111–118.
The Local Extensions/Fax page allows you to set up a local extension.
