TALKSWITCH PACKAGE CONTENTS
TalkSwitch units (part number CT.TS001.1) ship with everything you need to get started. A
power adapter, cables, management software CD and documentation comes with every unit.
Refer to the TalkSwitch Start Guide included with the unit to verify you have everything you
need. The package for VoIP-enabled units also contains a VoIP Network Configuration Guide.
If any of these items are missing, please contact your TalkSwitch dealer.
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
• Windows Vista (32-bit), XP or 2000 operating system (fully updated)
• Though Windows 7, Vista 64-bit and Server 2003 are not officially supported, many
TalkSwitch customers use these operating systems.
• 220 MB free hard disk space (only 100 MB necessary if Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is
already available)

Network equipment: If your system includes multiple TalkSwitch units, you will need an
Ethernet switch. If you plan on using VoIP or configuring your system remotely, you will need
an Ethernet switch (or router with an integrated switch) and a broadband Internet connection.
Caution: If TalkSwitch has been exposed to low temperatures prior to installation, wait until
the system has reached room temperature before connecting the power cord to
avoid condensation.
