1.9.1.1 Ethernet switch
A switch provides direct communication between units, thus keeping the
voice-over-LAN data isolated from other data on the network.
1. Connect up to four 48-CA and/or 48-CVA units to the LAN switch.
2. Connect a computer to the phone system using the LAN connection or
directly to the unit through the USB or Serial port.
3. Power up and configure your units before adding any IP phones that will
be part of the system. It is important that you place the IP phones on the
same subnet as TalkSwitch.
Example: If your TalkSwitch unit has the IP address 192.168.1.200, your IP
phone should use IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.xxx that do not
conflict with other IP addresses.

1.9.2 Power up all the TalkSwitch units
Connect the provided AC adapters to each unit and plug the adapters into
available power outlets. Turn the units on by pressing the Power button on
the front of each unit. The lights on the front panels of the units will flash.
This means that they are powered up and connected to the LAN, but their ID
numbers are not set.
TalkSwitch unit enclosures are not designed for stacking. We recommend
wall-mounting units to maximize airflow and keep the units from
overheating.
