TALKSWITCH INSTALLATION 17
It is important that you place the IP extensions on the same subnet as TalkSwitch. For example,
if your TalkSwitch unit has the IP address 192.168.1.200, your IP extensions should use IP
addresses in the range 192.168.1.xxx that do not conflict with other IP addresses.

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 they are powered up and connected to the
LAN, but their ID numbers are not set.
Setting or changing the unit ID
Units are shipped from the manufacturer with unit ID 1. If two or more units are placed on the
same LAN with the same unit ID number, the newest unit will adopt the next available higher
unit ID. For example, when a new unit is added to a system with unit IDs 1 and 2, the new unit
automatically assumes unit ID 3.
You can specify the unit ID:
1. Connect an analog phone to one of the extension jacks on the unit.
2. Press # to enter command mode.
3. Dial the system password + #.
4. Now, you have the following options:
The system will confirm the new ID is accepted. When the front panel Data light is on solid, the
units are ready for network use.
How unit IDs affect system extension numbers
After successfully changing each unit ID to a unique number, it can be identified by the
network. More importantly, each local extension, remote extension, and voice mailbox has a
unique number. Note that dialing 101–108 will ring local extensions 111–118.
