Option 3 - Connect 2 units together via an Ethernet
If you plan to network only two TalkSwitch units, it is possible to network them via a LAN crossover cable.
Connect the two TalkSwitch units with a crossover cable. Make sure you are using a crossover cable and not a regular LAN cable - see diagram below for details on how to verify a crossover cable.
