CONNECTING DEVICES

Move the TalkSwitch to a location where it can be attached to incoming telephone lines and your telephone devices.

Connect phone devices as shown in the “Suggested Configuration” on the previous page; this corresponds to the TalkSwitch default settings. TalkSwitch does NOT need to remain connected to the computer - only when changing configuration settings.

Here are a few things to consider when placing your TalkSwitch:

Incoming Phone Lines

Choose a convenient wall jack for you to attach to your TalkSwitch. Then connect

your telephone lines in the following manner:

System

- Connect the first incoming phone line to L1/L2.

- Connect the second to L2.

TalkSwitch 48-CA and 48- CVA users can then con- nect remaining lines to L3/L4 and L4. If you have 2 lines out of 1 phone jack, you can plug it into the L1/L2, and L3/L4 jacks.

Local Extensions

Plug each internal tele- phone into lines E1

through E8 consecutively.

Make sure the fax line has been put into E8 or E3.

!It is a good idea to connect E4 to a phone, as this is the only extension that will work during a power failure.

Location

Check out the location of electrical wall outlets and telephone jacks in the room. Place TalkSwitch close enough to these items using your AC Adapter and telephone cords.

Music on Hold

Connect the 1/8" (3.5mm) phono connector from the music jack to an audio source such as CD player, radio, tape player, or computer sound card.
