INSTALLING THE TS-850i

Installing the base

1. Place the base near a wired Ethernet

router, either on a tabletop or

mounted on a wall. Avoid placing the

base in a location with a lot of metal,

or near devices that

cause interference.

2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the

WAN port on the base to a LAN port

on your router or Ethernet switch.

The TalkSwitch unit must be

connected to the same LAN.

3. Optionally connect the telephone

cable from the Line port on the base

to the telephone wall socket. This

will allow you to use the TS-850i with

a traditional phone line.

4. Connect the power adapter from the

power outlet to the power supply

arrester in the power outlet. This is

to avoid damage to the equipment

caused by lightning and other

electrical surges.

Only use the power supply included

with the product. Using an

unauthorized power supply will

invalidate the product warranty and

may damage the telephone.

Installing the handset charger

1. Place the handset charger within the signal range of the base. The handset

has an indoor signal range of up to 150 feet (50 meters) from the base.

Concrete and metal objects might affect the signal range.

2. Connect the power adapter from the power

outlet to the power supply connector. Use

a continuous power outlet without a

switch, which provides uninterrupted

power. We recommend using an AC surge

arrester in the power outlet. This is to

avoid damage to the equipment caused by

lightning and other electrical surges.

Only use the power supply included with

the product. Using an unauthorized power

supply will invalidate the product

warranty and may damage the telephone.

Registering handsets with the base

You must register the handsets with the base. You can use the handset charger, or

you can use the handset itself.

NOTE: If the handset you want to register is already registered with another base,

you need to deregister the handset from that base before you can register it with

a new base. See Deregistering a handset from a base on page 11.

Using the handset charger

1. Press the Reset button on the back of the base. A five-minute registration

period starts, which allows handsets to register with the base.

NOTE: If you have multiple bases, only reset one base at a time, and wait five

minutes before resetting the next base.

2. If the handset is turned off, press the Red Phone key to turn it on.

3. Place the handset in the handset charger. The handset automatically registers

with the base, and the Configure SIP Domain message appears on the

display. This message indicates that you must configure the TS-850i as an IP

extension, as described later. Once the handset is registered, the left

connection status indicator in the display will turn yellow. See Handset screen

— idle mode on page 6.

4. Once the handset is registered, you can place additional handsets in the

handset charger for registration. If the five-minute registration period has

expired, but the handsets aren’t all registered, press the Reset button on the

back of the base to start a new registration period.

A base can support up to three handsets with three concurrent calls. It can

support up to eight handsets if they aren’t all used at once. If you have more

than three handsets and are getting busy signals, add more bases to your

installation in order to handle more calls.

Checking and updating firmware

Occasionally, you may want to check and/or update the TS-850i firmware.

To check the current firmware version:

To check for firmware updates perform the following steps:

select the preferred language for your handset, then press the OK key.

8. A warning dialog will appear notifying that updates may take up to 20

minutes per handset, and asking whether to proceed. Select either the Yes

softkey to proceed, or the No softkey to go to the previous menu.

9. If an update is selected, all handsets will display a progress screen describing

the update process. Each handset on the base station will be updated

sequentially.

10. When the update process completes, the handset will display a Firmware upd.

dialog stating the new firmware version number. Press the OK key to return to

normal handset operation. If you use repeaters and turned them off in step 1,

turn them back on and ensure their correct operation.

configure your phone as an IP extension. The phone can be located within the

office, or outside the office (i.e. an external IP extension).

Before configuring a phone, ensure that no handsets registered with the

associated base are being used. If a handset is on a call, the call will be

terminated when the system resets the base during configuration of the phone.

NOTE: The TS-850i requires version 6.11 or greater of the TalkSwitch management

software, which is available at http://global.talkswitch.com.

Configuring the TS-850i for use within the office

If the TS-850i is located within the office, it connects to your TalkSwitch system

over the local area network (LAN).

1. Launch the TalkSwitch management software.

2. Select the Local Extensions/Fax page.

3. Select an available extension number.

Activate extension area
