Prioritize your voice traffic

If your Internet connection is shared between computers and TalkSwitch (i.e. data and voice), it is critical that the voice traffic has priority over the data traffic. Many routers support Quality of Service (QoS) routing for this purpose. If your router supports QoS, ensure that it is enabled (see your router documentation for configuration details).

DDNS Support

If you are using Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) to manage the IP address of the SIP server, ensure that your router(s) support the specific DDNS service that you are using.

5.3 SETTING UP A VOIP NETWORK

A TalkSwitch VoIP network can be set up in 4 steps:

1.Connect a TalkSwitch or SIP-compatible gateway at each location.

2.Select a TalkSwitch to use as the SIP network server.

3.Assign phone numbers to each VoIP location.

4.Configure TalkSwitch to make and manage VoIP calls.

5.3.1 Connect TalkSwitch or SIP-compatible gateways

In order to create a VoIP network, a VoIP-equipped TalkSwitch or a VoIP compatible gateway, such as a Mediatrix® 2102, is required at each location. Each location in a multi-location network can support up to 4 TalkSwitch units, with a maximum of 32 local extensions (analog and/or IP phones) and 16 VoIP lines per location.

Example: Figure 125 on page 160 shows a multi-location network where two locations are equipped with TalkSwitch systems and a teleworker is equipped with a Mediatrix 2102 device. TalkSwitch and the Mediatrix 2102 route VoIP calls over the Internet, while local calls are routed over the regular (traditional) telephone network.
