Connecting to TalkSwitch over IP | Talkswitch CT.TS005.001101.UK

programs tend to ‘hold’ onto COM ports, making them unavailable for any other programs.

If you are having problems communicating with TalkSwitch, please check the

Chapter 6: Help and Troubleshooting.

Note: Users of a TalkSwitch without a LAN port may skip the rest of this

chapter and continue with Chapter 2: TalkSwitch Configuration.

1.4.4.4Connecting to TalkSwitch over IP

Ensure TalkSwitch is connected to a LAN with the supplied Category 5 cable. The top LED should light up to indicate a connection has been established with a switch or hub. To support remote configuration over IP, map port 9393 from your firewall to TalkSwitch. Please refer to the manual for your router/firewall to activate port forwarding.

When you open the TalkSwitch software, you are prompted to select the connection type. Select ‘Internet’ and enter the public IP address or the FQDN of the TalkSwitch location you wish to configure. You can click ‘Address Book’ to maintain a list of internet addresses.

Note: Any time TalkSwitch is being configured, it is ‘locked’ to prevent other computers or persons using a phone from configuring changes at the same time. If you leave the software open for longer than 1 hour, TalkSwitch unlocks itself to allow configuration changes.

1.5 USING 2 OR MORE TALKSWITCH UNITS ON A LAN

If you have one TalkSwitch unit, ignore this section and proceed to Chapter 2: TalkSwitch Configuration.

1.5.1 Connecting 2 or more TalkSwitch units to a LAN

TalkSwitch units with a LAN port can be networked together on the same LAN. Ensure you have the appropriate firmware on all units before adding them to the LAN. Check http://global.talkswitch.com/ for the latest updates.

We recommend integrating your phone system and your existing LAN with an Ethernet switch. A switch provides direct communication between TalkSwitch
