14 TALKSWITCH START GUIDE
Changing TalkSwitch unit ID numbers
Each TalkSwitch unit is pre-programmed at the factory with Unit ID number 1.
When you plug multiple units in for the first time or add a unit or units to an
existing network, the lights on the front of each TalkSwitch flash. This is an
indication that all units have the same ID number. Change the ID numbers so that
they are all unique, as follows:
1. Connect a phone to any extension jack (eg. E4) of the TalkSwitch unit for
which you want to change the unit ID number, and lift the phone handset.
2. The TalkSwitch prompt will indicate that there is an ID conflict. Choose a
number, for example 2, as the new unit ID number. Once the unit ID number
has been accepted, the lights on the front panel will stop flashing (usually
within 10 seconds).
3. Repeat the above steps for each additional TalkSwitch unit, assigning a
unique ID number to each unit on the network.
After successfully changing each unit ID to a unique number, each unit can be
identified by the network. More importantly each local extension, remote
extension, and voice mailbox, will have a unique number wherein the second digit
in the three digit identifier becomes the unit ID number. See the table below.
Configuring the Networked Units
Now that you have connected your TalkSwitch units and changed the unit ID
numbers, you can configure call handling options for the new unit(s). Return to
STEP 3 — Open the TalkSwitch Configuration Software and follow the
subsequent steps to complete the configuration of your expanded
TalkSwitch network.
