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.
Figure 16: Single-line telephone
Each phone is connected to a single
extension. A call transferred to
extension 111 will ring the phone
connected on jack E1. A call
transferred to extension 112 will ring
the phone on jack E2 and so on.

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.

connected to a dual-line phone using
two extension jacks. Calls on extension
111 show Line 1 as active. Calls on
