TalkSwitch also provides the option of ringing specific extensions or ring groups prior to the engagement of an auto attendant. For details about configuring auto attendants, see 2.4.2 Auto attendant on page 80.

3.1.2 Receiving calls without the auto attendant

If you do not use the auto attendant to answer calls, please note that the call cascade options for the local extensions are not engaged. For calls to go to an extension’s mailbox, the call must be transferred manually by someone in the office. Once calls have been answered at a local extension, they can be transferred to any extension or voice mailbox.

The difference between a regular and an IP phone is the size of the jack. Regular phones use regular, RJ-11 phone cables. IP phones take RJ-45 (Cat 5) cables for networking.
