1.8.2.1 Connecting a regular single-line telephone

This is the basic, simple set-up. All functionality including transferring calls, forwarding calls and voicemail, is handled by the unit. Even the most basic of phones, once connected, will inherit these functions.

1.8.2.2 Connecting a regular dual-line telephone

Most dual-line phones have separate plug-ins for two incoming telephone lines (Line 1 and Line 2). If your dual-line telephone does not have separate plug-ins, you can use a Line 1/Line 2 splitter to separate the two lines as shown in Figures 17 and 18.

You can plug the dual-line phone into the TalkSwitch unit using one or two extension jacks. Figure 17 below shows a dual-line phone using one jack. Figure 18 on page 17 shows a dual-line telephone plugged into the unit using two jacks.
