ceed with configuring the unit first. (See section 3.1) This will minimize the dis-

MUSIC Plug in a radio, CD player, PC soundcard or any other
device that emits an audio signal if you wish to use the
TalkSwitch Music-on-Hold feature. This is a 1/8" (3.5
mm) phono jack. Mono cables are recommended. If you
have multiple TalkSwitch units on a LAN, you will need
to provide a music source to each TalkSwitch.
PA Connect to a P.A. system if you wish to use the external
paging feature. This is a 1/8" (3.5 mm) phono jack.
Mono cables are recommended. If you have multiple
TalkSwitch units on a LAN, you will need to provide a
connection from each TalkSwitch to the PA Amplifier.
LAN PORT You can connect to an Ethernet hub using a Category 5
cable with RJ-45 connectors. This will support
configuration across the LAN and Internet and support
VoIP calls. If you have 2, 3 or more TalkSwitch units,
you can ‘network’ them and they will function as a
single system. There are 3 LEDs next to the LAN port. The
top LED is on when the ethernet link is synchronized
with a switch or hub. The middle LED is on when data is
being received and the bottom LED is on when data is
being transmitted.
E1 – E8 Plug in any analog device that uses a standard (RJ-11)
telephone jack, such as telephones, fax machines, inter-
nal or external PC modems, etc. TalkSwitch identifies
the extensions as 1x1 to 1x8. (x represents the unit ID
