Task Summary
 Collecting Phone/IP
Details ( vital! )
The TalkAnytime must be configured to

system and IP network. To do so,
certain details must be known about
those phone and IP systems.
 Placement
Decide where you’ll mount the unit.
 Command/Control
Computer Setup:
Specs & Settings
Some modest minimum specifications
must be met. A data connection to the
TalkAnytime unit (whether via serial
port, USB2.0-with-adaptor, or web-
based) must be made.
 Hookup Connect power, ground, phone, and
data cables per diagram.
 Software Installation This is the configuration program.
It’s a standard Windows software
installation.
 Phone/IP Starter
Configuration
You will enter phone numbers and IP
addresses. You’ll use default parameter
values where possible to get the system
running quickly.
Use “Config Info CheckList” (page 26).
 Phonebook/URL Starter
Configuration
The phonebook is where you specify
how calls will be routed. A special URL
determines how the TalkAnytime will
interact with your web server.
 Connectivity Test You’ll find out if your TalkAnytime
system can receive phone calls from
visitors to your web site. That means
you’re up and running!
 Troubleshooting Detect and remedy any problems that
might have prevented connectivity.
