6.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section of the manual is designed to help you quickly resolve problems
with TalkSwitch. The problems are organized in the following manner.
1. Problems that can occur when installing the Configuration software.
2. Problems that can occur during Configuration.
3. Problems that can occur while using TalkSwitch’s features.
Before examining the problems, review these common installation checks.
1. Check that your telephone cables are connected to a wall jack at one end
and TalkSwitch at the other. Ensure the devices you are using as
TalkSwitch extensions (phones, faxes, etc.) are plugged into the
extension jacks located on the back panel of TalkSwitch. (Do not plug
your extensions directly into a wall jack unless that jack is wired to a
TalkSwitch extension jack.)
2. Check the Serial, USB or LAN connection between TalkSwitch
and your PC.
3. Ensure that TalkSwitch’s power adapter is plugged into a working power
outlet and that TalkSwitch is turned on. Please make sure that you are
using the power adapter that was provided with TalkSwitch. This is a
unique adapter and it cannot be substituted with any other adapter. If
your adapter appears to be defective, please contact your TalkSwitch
dealer to order the proper replacement adapter.

units. In the TalkSwitch software, select ‘Configure’, then on the ‘About
TalkSwitch’ page, click on the ‘View Details’ button in the upper right
corner of the screen. All units listed should have the same firmware
version.
