1.4 Plugging into the Back Panel1.4.1 Attaching telephone lines to TalkSwitch line jacks
You can connect your telephone lines from the wall jack(s) to the TalkSwitch Line
jacks with the phone cables provided. Take note of which telephone line is connected
to which Line Jack on TalkSwitch - this information will be used in the configuration
section. In order to minimize disruption to your business, you may want to configure
TalkSwitch first before connecting it to your lines and phones.
We recommend that you connect surge protectors between TalkSwitch and your
telephone lines to protect against lightning damage.
