If setting up an internal IP extension, set Domain to the IP address of the TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. If setting up an external IP extension, set Domain to the public IP address or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the TalkSwitch system.
ADDING OTHER IP PHONES Other IP phones with the G.711 codec may work with TalkSwitch but not all features may be supported. We strongly recommend you use only the IP phones supported by TalkSwitch. If you connect an unsupported IP phone, select Other as the Manufacturer. As TalkSwitch cannot enable features, or customizations of these phones, further configuration will be limited to the programmable options on the IP phone itself.
