233.0 Configuring TalkSwitch
Default Gateway:
Enter the IP address of the gateway on your network. A gateway is a hardware
device (such as a router / NAT) that connects the office network to the Internet.
The gateway allows you to share a DSL, cable modem or other Internet
connection with all of the computers and IP devices in your office network.
Preferred DNS Server:
Enter the preferred DNS server IP address. This is also known as the primary DNS
server. DNS is a service that maintains information about a portion of the Domain
Name System (DNS) database and responds to DNS queries for resolving a domain
name to an IP address. For more information about DNS, see chapter one.
Alternate DNS Server:
Enter the alternate DNS server IP address. This is also known as the secondary
DNS server.
Verify / Apply IP and DNS information:
Press this button to instantly apply the settings.
In the “Public IP Address” section:
Type of public IP address for Internet Connection:
Select dynamic if your public IP address is a dynamic IP address from your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you are unsure if your connection is dynamic
or static, then leave this option set to ‘dynamic’. When set to dynamic, TalkSwitch
checks your public IP address every 5 minutes. If it changes, TalkSwitch
automatically updates its information so that VoIP calls are properly handled.
Current public IP address:
When ‘dynamic’ has been selected for the public IP address type, this entry shows
the current public IP address and is not editable. If the public IP address is
‘static’, then you will need to enter it here.
Public IP address-checker server name:
When ‘dynamic’ has been selected for the public IP address type, this entry shows
the current server name for the IP checker utility. If the public IP address type is
‘static’, then no information is required.
