TALKSWITCH CONFIGURATION 27
1. Select the Administration page.
Note: The Region Selection area is only displayed in certain regions. Depending on the region, an operator may be
dialed using 9 or 0.
Administration
The Administration area allows you to set up the system name and system password.
1. Optionally enter the System name. This should be the company name, or a shortened form
suitable for use as caller ID during VoIP calls. If you enter a system name, you will require it
when logging in through a browser for status or call detail record (CDR) information. If you
omit the system name, you can enter talkswitch when logging in through a browser.
2. Enter the System password. It has to be a 4- to 8-digit numeric password, so you can also
enter it on a touchtone phone.
The system password allows access to the configuration. It is entered when you start the
TalkSwitch management software, and when you access the configuration through a local
extension or outside phone.
Region selection
The Region Selection area (displayed only in certain regions) allows you to select the country
where your TalkSwitch unit will operate.
CAUTION: Use a system password, otherwise the system will be vulnerable to configuration
changes, misuse and/or lock-out by callers or users. If the router has port 9393 mapped to the
TalkSwitch unit for remote configuration, the system will also be vulnerable to anyone on
the Internet.
Change the system password frequently to prevent unauthorized users from making calls or
changing the configuration.
