TALKSWITCH CONFIGURATION 57
Other phones may work with the system, but not all the features may be
supported. We strongly recommend that you only use the IP phones
supported by TalkSwitch.

Direct Line Access... (button)
This feature allows users to access an outbound line without dialing extra
digits. When the extension goes off-hook or a number is dialed on a IP
phone without first dialing a hunt group, Direct Line Access allows you to
configure the extension to access a specific hunt group automatically for
outbound calls.
Example: You may have a fax machine connected to this extension and
don‘t want to reprogram the speed dial numbers. Click Direct Line Access
and choose the hunt group. As soon as the fax goes off-hook, the unit finds
an available line.
When Polycom or Grandstream is selected, the username and password
are fixed and not editable.
Warning: When using Direct Line Access with an analog phone, you hear
the telephone company dial tone when you pick up the handset. The
following features are only available from the TalkSwitch internal dial
tone:
• Intercom calling
• Hold and retrieve
• Line hunt groups
• Voicemail retrieval/access
• Call pick-up
• P.A. access,
• Parked call retrieval
• Do Not Disturb functions
• Entering command mode
To obtain an internal dial tone at an extension which has Direct Line
Access enabled, dial Flash after going off-hook on an analog set. On a IP
phone, dial , then press Dial, Send or .
