If you connect TalkSwitch to your phone system, it will do the following:
• An incoming call on any line will ring all analog local extensions.
• A receptionist can manually transfer calls to local extensions or
voicemail.
• Every local extension will have a voice mailbox.
• Analog extension 114 (E4) will still operate during a power failure.
1.7 CONNECT TALKSWITCH TO A NETWORK OR A PC
Connect the AC adapter provided with TalkSwitch from an electrical outlet
to the TalkSwitch unit. Never use a power adapter other than the one that
came in the TalkSwitch package.
To configure the TalkSwitch settings, connect the unit to the PC with the
configuration software installed.
There are five connection methods.
1.7.1 Ethernet connection
An Ethernet cable is supplied with specific unit
models. This connection requires a LAN and a PC
on the same switch. Any PC on the LAN can
configure the unit.

Recommendation: To minimize the disruption time of your telephone
lines during the system setup, we recommend that you configure the
unit before you connect all your phones and lines to TalkSwitch. For
more information, see Chapter 2: TalkSwitch Configuration starting on
page 29.
Sharing computer data and TalkSwitch voice data, on the same hub can
cause voice degradation during high traffic periods. For best results,
place TalkSwitch units on a switch, or on their own hub.
