Programming the TalkSwitch TS-850i IP phone as an external IP extension
If you are setting up an external IP extension, you must ensure there is a communication path
over the network between your phone and your TalkSwitch systsem. See Configuring the router
on page 2.
Before configuring a phone, ensure that no handsets registered with the associated base are
being used. If a handset is on a call, the call will be terminated when the system resets the base
during configuration of the phone.

2. Choose Settings, and then press the OK key.

b) Choose Insert symbol, and then press the OK key.
c) Use the navigation keys to choose the period, and then press the OK key.
6. Press the Save softkey to accept the changes, and then press the Back key.
7. When prompted to reboot the base, select Yes. The TS-850i will automatically download the
configuration from the TalkSwitch system.
Using the TS-850i with a traditional phone line
NOTE: If you connected the telephone cable from the Line port on the base to the telephone wall
socket, you can use the TS-850i with a traditional phone line.
When connected to the traditional telephone network (PSTN) or to a TalkSwitch system as an
analog extension, FLASH is engaged by pressing the R# key. The key MUST be held for
approximately 2 seconds until you connect to the other caller (call waiting) or receive dial tone
to initiate a calling feature.
