ADDING TALKSWITCH TS-350i AND TS-550i IP PHONES
Connecting the TalkSwitch IP phone to the network
1. Connect a network cable between the LAN port on the phone (marked ) and your network
(i.e. router or LAN connection). The TalkSwitch 350i and 550i IP phones also have a PC port.
The PC port can be used to connect the PC to the network if only one network connection is
available.
2. Connect power to the phone, either using the optional power adapter or an 802.3af Power-
Over-Ethernet (POE) source.
If the phone is connected to the same network as the TalkSwitch system, and an extension
has been configured with the phone’s MAC address, the system will automatically register
and configure the phone. When complete, the phone will display the extension name and
extension number.
If the phone is connected to the network and no extension has been configured with the
phone's MAC address, the phone will bootup with the model number showing in the display.
Adding the extension to the TalkSwitch system
1. Launch the TalkSwitch management software.
2. Select the Local Extensions/Fax page.
3. Select an available extension number.
4. Select the Extension tab.
Activate extension area
1. Ensure the Activate extension check box is selected.
2. If necessary, set the Extension type to IP extension.
