ADDING IP PHONES TO TALKSWITCH 1

EXTERNAL IP EXTENSIONS

An external IP extension is an IP phone located outside the office that is configured as a local extension.

External IP extensions can be assigned to any VoIP-equipped TalkSwitch unit that can connect to the phone over a public or private network. See Configuring the router below. For additional information see Connecting to a network in the VoIP Network Configuration Guide.

All VoIP lines are shared by default. If necessary, you can reserve VoIP lines for external IP extensions. See Reserving VoIP lines in the VoIP Network Configuration Guide.

External IP extensions will use the preferred codec selected for the TalkSwitch profile. The default preferred codec is G.729. You can select a different preferred codec for the TalkSwitch profile. See Setting code options in the VoIP Network Configuration Guide.

Warning: Calls to an emergency service number using an external IP extension will not send the correct address to the emergency operator. We strongly recommend that you apply a warning label to any external IP extension stating:

If an emergency call is made from this phone, you must provide your address to the emergency operator.

Configuring the router

If you are setting up an external IP extension, you must ensure the router is configured. There should be no adjustments required for the firewall at the remote (phone) location.

The Router Port Forwarding area of the IP Configuration page displays the type of gateway device (i.e. the type of router), the IP address of the gateway (i.e. router), and whether router configuration is required.

A router is a gateway between the local area network and the Internet. Most routers have a firewall to block unwanted data from the Internet. For voice data to reach the TalkSwitch system through the firewall, port forwarding is required. Port forwarding allows the router to map ports to the IP addresses of the TalkSwitch units. Valid Internet data will use the ports to go through the firewall to the TalkSwitch units.

If you are setting up external IP extensions, a TalkSwitch VoIP network, or a VoIP service that doesn’t handle port forwarding, port forwarding is required.

If port forwarding is required, and your router supports uPNP (Universal Plug and Play), ensure uPNP is enabled. The TalkSwitch system will use uPNP to automatically set up port forwarding, and the Automatic (uPNP Enabled) link will appear. No router configuration is required.

If port forwarding is required but your router doesn’t support uPNP, or automatic port forwarding doesn’t work, the Manual Port Mapping Required link will appear. You will need to configure the router as described below.

1. Select the IP Configuration page.

ADDING IP PHONES TO TALKSWITCH 2

2. If required, click the Manual Port Mapping Required link. The Manual Port Mapping

window appears. It lists the packet type, labels to aid in port identification, port number, IP address and protocol of each required port.

3. To access the router configuration:

a) Click the link containing the IP address of the gateway. The default browser starts, and

prompts you for the router’s user name and password.

b) Enter the router’s user name and password. The browser shows a setup screen.

c) Navigate to the screen used to set up port forwarding. See your router documentation.

d) Set up port forwarding using the information from the Manual Port Mapping window.

See your router documentation for instructions on how to map ports. For information on configuring routers and mapping ports, visit www.portforward.com/english/routers/ port_forwarding/routerindex.htm.

4. To check the status of each port through the firewall, click Check Firewall. The Firewall Test window appears.

5. Select the services you want to check.

6. Click Test Ports. The system will check the ports for the selected services.

ADDING IP PHONES TO TALKSWITCH 3

Configuring the router manually

If you cannot access the router configuration through the IP Configuration page, configure the router manually.

1. Open the router configuration and navigate to the screen used to set up port forwarding. See your router documentation.

2. Map port 5060 (Type: UDP) to the TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. Port 5060 is the default port for forwarding SIP signaling data to the TalkSwitch system.

If required, you can map a different port. In this case, enter the port in the SIP signalling port box of the VoIP Settings window.

3. Map the following ports (Type: UDP) to the TalkSwitch units. These RTP ports forward voice traffic to the TalkSwitch system by default.

VoIP Lines/Unit Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4

4 6000–6006 6010–6016 6020–6026 6030–6036

8 6100–6114 6200–6214 6300–6314 6400–6414

If required, you can map different ports. In this case enter the first port in the Starting RTP port box of the VoIP Settings window.

4. Map port 69 (Type: UDP) to the TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. Port 69 allows the TalkSwitch system to configure external IP extensions.

5. Map port 8484 (Type: TCP) to the TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. Port 8484 allows the TalkSwitch system to configure TalkSwitch IP phones as external IP extensions.

6. Map port 9393 (Type: TCP) to the TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. Port 9393 allows remote configuration of the TalkSwitch system.

7. If available, enable Quality of Service (QoS) to give voice traffic priority over data.

8. Save the configuration to the router.

CONFIGURING YOUR IP PHONE

ADDING TALKSWITCH TS-350i, TS-450i AND TS-550i IP PHONES

Connecting the TalkSwitch IP phone to the network

1. Connect a network cable between the LAN port on the phone (marked ) and your network (i.e. router or LAN connection). The TalkSwitch TS-350i, TS-450i and TS-550i IP phones also have a PC port. The PC port can be used to connect the PC to the network if only one network connection is available.

2. Connect power to the phone, either using the optional power adapter or an 802.3af PowerOver-Ethernet (POE) source.

If the phone is connected to the same network as the TalkSwitch system, and an extension has been configured with the phone’s MAC address, the system will automatically register and configure the phone. When complete, the phone will display the extension name and extension number.

If the phone is connected to the network and no extension has been configured with the phone's MAC address, the phone will bootup with the model number showing in the display.

Adding the extension to the TalkSwitch system

1. Launch the TalkSwitch management software.

2. Select the Local Extensions/Fax page.

3. Click the Add button. The Add User / Extension window appears.
