Restore Firmware (button)
This button is available as an alternate method to update firmware if an
update attempt has failed. Click the Restore Firmware button, then select
which firmware file to load onto the unit. The firmware update will then
begin. Follow the instructions presented at each step. Progress will be
displayed as the update proceeds.

If you are downgrading to an earlier firmware version, and have more than
one networked TalkSwitch unit, you must perform the Restore Firmware one
unit at a time, with the unit separated from the network during the restore.

For more information, see 1.5.2 Upgrading the TalkSwitch software and
firmware
on page 5.

Things to consider when placing your TalkSwitch

Wiring
Make the most of your phone system with optimal home/office wiring. If
you need help wiring your house or small office and are not sure where all
the jacks are or what colors of wires to use, refer to Appendix H: Home/Office
Wiring Guide
on page 213.

Location
Check the location of electrical wall outlets and telephone jacks in the room.
Place the unit(s) close enough to these items using your AC adapter and
telephone cords.

The computer connection is only needed to change the configuration
settings. It can remain disconnected at other times.

Recommendation: We recommend that you connect surge protectors
between the TalkSwitch unit(s) and your telephone lines to protect
against lightning damage.
