None of the Extension Ring Groups are affected They are global to the entire
system. It doesn't matter if there are one or four TalkSwitch units on a LAN,
there will always be 10 Extension Ring Groups with the extension numbers
300-309.

1.5.5 Keep track of the lines and extensions

To keep track of the extensions and lines connected to each TalkSwitch, label
each unit with its Unit ID. It simplifies matters when you need to add or
remove extensions and lines.
If the TalkSwitch units are located in a room away from the extensions and
you need to identify the units, there is a utility in the configuration
software that allows you to identify each unit by flashing the lights on the
front panel. Open the TalkSwitch Configuration software. To check details of
the TalkSwitch units on the LAN, click the 'View System Information' link on
the initial window below the TalkSwitch image. Select the Unit ID to verify.
Click the Identify button and observe the flashing LEDs. The lights stop
flashing when you click the 'Close' button or when 5 minutes have elapsed.
