The ST218B phone(s) included in this bundle are unique phones in that they have the largest caller ID display and font, you can easily read it far away from the phone. It is also a 2 line phone, which we will explain the potential advantages of below. This speakerphone works well with the Talkswitch 24-CA. The ST218B does have a fair number of feature buttons.
There are at least 3 reasons to use this phone over other phones with a Talkswitch system. First, if you run a business out of the house, you can use line 1 to be business calls and connect to Talkswitch, and, you can use line 2 to be personal calls (home) and connect this to your home line. This allows you to use all 2 lines for business with say a Talkswitch 24-CA, and, still use personal calls on line 2 without wasting a Talkswitch incoming line. The second common use is if you run 2 businesses. You can have Talkswitch generate a distinctive ring for business calls if you use a single line phone, or with this phone, route 2 extensions to your desk, line 1 would be business 1, and line 2 would be business 2. The third case is for making it really easy to handle 2 calls. It's easier than a single line phone to put a caller on hold, and, pick up your second call. To use with Talkswitch 24-CA, you will need a 1 line to 2 line adapter as the connector on this phone is a 2 line connector. Talkswitch uses a single line connector, so, you'll hook this phone up to TWO Talkswitch extension ports. Do not use a simple splitter, it will not work! Great to use in a home office with a Talkswitch 24-CA.
If you are uncertain about whether a Talkswitch system will meet your needs, please contact us. We can make arrangements for you to try or demo a system. We also offer extensions to the Talkswitch warranty, select the option above. This extension adds 2 years to the one 1 year Talkswitch warranty, and covers the Talkswitch 24-CA. The limitations and terms are the same as the Talkswitch Warranty.
Talkswitch was named "Best of Show" at the Internet Telephony Conference February 2006, find out why! Business Computing Magazine recognized TalkSwitch telephone systems as one of the Top 50 Business Products of 2005. IT Week Magazine gave Talkswitch the 2005 Product Excellence Award. The Talkswitch 24-CA is the smallest of the Talkswitch family of products. The Talkswitch 24-CA has inputs for 2 incoming phone lines, and outputs for up to 4 extensions. You can also program up to 10 (software version 4.0 only, previous versions have 8) remote extensions (off site), these can be cell phones or anything else with a phone number. This allows you to have a central phone number no matter where you are. The system uses analog phones. A Talkswitch 24-CA can be upgraded to a 48-CA via an upgrade kit should you outgrow it. The 48-CA could then be upgraded to a 48-CVA for VOIP capabilities. The Talkswitch 24-CA is ideal for a home office, or other small office environment.
Surge Protection for your Talkswitch 24-CA, if an option is shown above, can be added. The most likely reason your Talkswitch 24-CA will fail over time is surge related damage, not necessarily lightning. We offer guaranteed protection, assuming you hook it up properly, it *will* protect your system. Properly hooked up means the Talkswitch 24-CA, the LAN connector, incoming phone line ports, and extension ports that go to powered devices must all be hooked up to the same protector. So, even if you have a UPS, you still need these devices to protect your system. Our system has protection for 4 power cords, 1 LAN connector, and, some numbers of ports, pick the appropriate number for your system. If for example you pick "2 ports", this means a total of 2 incoming lines and extensions running to your Talkswitch 24-CA. So, "Ports" refers to the total of powered extension phones, fax machines, or devices, and, incoming lines.
If you have considered or purchased a Talkswitch system before, check out the new features of software version 5.0. These include remote IP phone support as local extensions (except the 24-CA), additional IP extensions for a total of 16 extensions per box, 12 additional voicemailboxes for a total of 36, up to 2 hours of voicemail or recordings, multilingual interface, line and queue appearance, and other improvements.p>
Pretty much, you can expect once setup for the Talkswitch 24-CA to run itself. It is a full featured PBX system, very powerful. There are other auto attendant services you can buy, but it won't take long for you to pay for this system with what they charge. Also, you will have a lot more features that are needed in todays business environment. Unlike the typical PBX system, this system does not require a highly paid technician to program and maintain as your business changes! Power Systems provides you the tools you need via our support CD to get up and running.
