Installing the base
1. Install the TS-850i or TS-860i base according to the instructions in the
TS-850i and TS-860i
Start Guide

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. Install the TS-850i or TS-860i handset(s) and allow them to register with the base, according
to the instructions in the
TS-850i and TS-860i Start Guide

Configuring the TS-850i or TS-860i as an IP extension
After installing the TS-850i or TS-860i, configure your phone as an IP extension. The phone can
be located within the office, or outside the office (i.e. as 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. The
TS-860i requires version 6.50 or greater.
