In this example, Hunt Group 88 is configured to access all available VoIP lines. For convenience, you can assign a name to the selected Line Hunt Group (e.g. Cbeyond). Step 5: Save settings to TalkSwitch by selecting File from the menu and then Save to TalkSwitch. Ensure you configure the TalkSwitch Call Handling parameters to handle inbound VoIP calls. See the TalkSwitch VoIP Configuration Guide for more information on configuring VoIP Numbers for inbound calls. Be sure to Save to TalkSwitch after making changes. Step 6: Ensure you have your firewall ports properly mapped to TalkSwitch. In order to support VoIP calls through a router or firewall, the firewall needs to be configured to allow VoIP traffic through certain ports. The ports required open by TalkSwitch are as follows: Port Type 5060 UDP (Map to IP address of TalkSwitch acting as Local Proxy usually Unit ID 1) UDP (Map to IP address of TalkSwitch Unit ID 1) UDP (Map to IP address of TalkSwitch Unit ID 2) UDP (Map to IP address of TalkSwitch Unit ID 3) UDP (Map to IP address of TalkSwitch Unit ID 4) For additional information on configuring port forwarding for your router, please visit: 4

At the bottom of the page, click on the View Registration Status button. The Registration Status window will open, showing the registration status for each Cbeyond ID number.
