2.3.2.1 Configuration considerations connecting multiple units to a LAN
When two or more units are connected to a LAN and are set up for network
use, you can configure all the connected units via the Serial or the USB port
to one of the TalkSwitch units, or to a PC connected to the same LAN as the
TalkSwitch units.
When two or more TalkSwitch units are connected to the same LAN, they are
designed to act like a single phone system. For example, if you have two
TalkSwitch 48-CA/CVA units connected on the same LAN, the system will
function as a single system supporting 8 PSTN lines, 16 local extensions and
16 remote extensions.
Notice that on some configuration pages, there are up to 4 tabs across the
top. They allow you to select the TalkSwitch in the group.
Note: Specific details describing the configuration for the use of features
related to the TalkSwitch in a networked configuration, are preceded by
the icon below. If you have a single Talkswitch, you can skip these
sections in the guide.
Note: Specific details describing the configuration or the use of features
related to the TalkSwitch CVA only, are preceded by the VoIP icon. If you
have a TalkSwitch 24-CA or 48-CA, you can skip these sections in the
guide.
