CONNECTING LOCAL EXTENSIONS
A local extension is an analog extension or IP extension. An analog
extension is a device (standard phone, cordless phone, fax machine or
modem) connected to extension jack E1-E8. A local IP extension is an IP
phone connected via LAN. An external IP extension is an IP phone connected
via the internet, and requires the TalkSwitch unit to have VoIP capability.
Connect a single-line device to an extension jack the same way you would
plug it into a standard telephone wall jack.
Connect an analog phone that does not require mains power to E4 to ensure
communications during a power failure. In the event of a power failure or
loss of power to TalkSwitch, E4 is able to receive and make calls on Line 1.
Connecting a single-line analog phone
This is the basic, simple set-up. All functionality including transferring calls,
forwarding calls and voicemail, is handled by the unit. Even the most basic of
phones, once connected, will inherit these functions.

Connecting a dual-line analog phone
You can plug a dual-line phone into the TalkSwitch unit using one or two
extension jacks. Figure 9 on page 18 shows a dual-line phone using one jack
and Figure 10 shows a dual-line phone using two jacks.
Most dual-line phones have separate plug-ins for two telephone lines (Line 1
and Line 2). If your dual-line phone does not have separate plug-ins, you can
use a Line 1/Line 2 splitter to separate the two telephone lines as shown in
Figure 11. A four-line phone can use two splitters to separate the four
telephone lines as shown in Figure 12.
