Talkswitch 48 user manual Connecting Devices to the Music and PA Jacks

Option # 2 (Use it as two TalkSwitch extensions.)

You could use your two-line telephone as two separate TalkSwitch extensions. Connect the telephone's Line 1 and Line 2 plug-ins to two separate extension jacks.

Most two-line phones have separate plug-ins for two incoming telephone lines (Line 1 and Line 2). If your two-line telephone does not have separate plug-ins, you can use a "Line 1/Line 2" line splitter to separate the two lines. Download the Quick Guide at www.talkswitch.com for more detailed examples on connecting multi-line phones.

To Attach an Internal or External Modem:

Simply plug the modem's telephone cable into one of TalkSwitch's extension jacks. Your modem is now a TalkSwitch extension and will be able to access all lines and take advantage of TalkSwitch's call routing features.

If you would like to use a telephone on the same extension as your modem, simply plug the telephone's cable into the modem's telephone jack. (Most modems have a telephone jack, located beside the 'Line In' jack.)

You do not have to attach a PC to TalkSwitch (via the Serial or USB ports) for your modem to be functional.

If you don’t want to change your dial up settings for the modem, you will need to enable Direct Line Access for the extension associated to the modem. See section 2.3.1.4 for more details on configuring Direct Line Access.

1.4.3 Connecting Devices to the Music and PA Jacks

The Music jack is designed to support any audio source (CD player, radio, tape player, sound card etc.) for playing music or messages to callers while on hold. Simply connect the audio source via its headphone output to the Music jack. The Music jack requires a 1/8” (3.5mm) phono connector. If you have more than one TalkSwitch connected to a LAN, you will need to provide audio to all the Music jacks on each TalkSwitch.

The PA jack can be connected to a PA System for external paging or to an amplification system to screen voicemail or to use as a line simulator. The PA jack requires a 1/8” (3.5mm) phono connector. If you have more than one TalkSwitch connected to a LAN, you will need to provide a connection from each TalkSwitch to the PA system.
