15 TalkSwitch User Guide Introduction Important information What happens if the power goes out or if the IP network to VoIP fails? To ensure a reliable network connection, all elements of the VoIP network should be connected to back-up power supplies (UPS). These elements should include LAN switches, routers, firewalls, broadband connection devices (i.e. cable modems, DSL modems), and VoIP devices. If the power goes out at the Internet Service Provider, no VoIP calls can be made. Calls can still be placed over the telephone lines. Change password frequently Setting and frequently changing the system password is recommended to avoid unauthorized changes to system configuration and settings. PBX fraud It is recommended that call bridge (DISA) and call back passwords are changed frequently to avoid unauthorized users making telephone calls through the phone system. Emergency service numbers Ensure emergency service numbers are not blocked by the toll restriction feature. Frequently used emergency service numbers are pre-programmed to avoid blocking, but other local numbers may be used in some locations. Before routing any emergency service numbers to a VoIP service provider, check that they do handle emergency service calls and any conditions associated with this service. Call redirection and service provider billing advisory Use of the automatic route selection, toll restriction and call detail recording features does not imply any guarantee whatsoever by regulatory authorities, telephone service provider(s), TalkSwitch or its distributors and resellers, with regard to the accuracy of these features and that the use of such features may not be considered by a telephone company in any disputes which may arise regarding the accuracy of any subscriber's telephone account. Please read the Start Guide that came with your phone system before reading this user guide. The Start Guide contains critical information about setting up your phone system.
