4. Configure each TalkSwitch system for VoIP.
Connecting TalkSwitch or SIP-compatible gateways
In order to create a VoIP network, a VoIP-equipped TalkSwitch or a VoIP
compatible gateway, such as a Mediatrix® 2102, is required at each location.
Each location in a multi-location network can support up to 4 TalkSwitch
units, with a maximum of 64 local extensions (analog and/or IP extensions)
and 32 VoIP lines per location.
Example: Figure 22 on page 190 shows a multi-location network where two
locations are equipped with TalkSwitch systems and a teleworker is equipped
with a Mediatrix 2102 device. TalkSwitch and the Mediatrix 2102 route VoIP
calls over the Internet, while local calls are routed over the traditional
telephone network.

Selecting a TalkSwitch unit as SIP server
A multi-location SIP network requires a SIP server to manage calls across the
network. The SIP server contains registration information for all SIP devices
in the network. When making or receiving a VoIP call, a device will register
with the SIP server, which will then route the call to the appropriate
destination.
