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 48-CA is the largest of the Talkswitch family of products. It is an expandable system. You can hook up to 4 of these together (networked). Hooking multiple units together provides an equal number of additional incoming lines, local extension, and remote extensions. Therefore, 4 Talkswitch 48-CA hooked together provides 16 incoming lines, 32 local extensions, and 40 remote extensions. It functions as one phone system. The Talkswitch 48-CA has inputs for 4 incoming phone lines, and outputs for up to 8 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. Talkswitch uses analog phones, or, SIP phones for local extensions. A Talkswitch 48-CA can be upgraded to a 48-CVA for VOIP capabilities. The Talkswitch 48-CA is ideal as a small business phone system. You can also network a 48-CA with other current Talkswitch models having a network port.
Surge Protection for your Talkswitch 48-CA, if an option is shown above, can be added. The most likely reason your Talkswitch 48-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 48-CA, the LAN connector, incoming analog phone line ports, and analog 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 48-CA. So, "Ports" refers to the total of powered analog extension phones, fax machines, or analog devices, and, incoming analog lines.
If you have considered or purchased a Talkswitch system before, check out the new features of software version 4.0. These include IP phone support as local extensions (except the 24-CA), emailed voicemail (not the 24-CA), holiday settings so that you can specify holiday call settings in advance, carrier codes and access permissions for outgoing calls, 2 additional remote extensions for a total of 10, VOIP locations in call cascade for systems with VOIP capability, ring groups can be sent as part of caller ID, and, other improvements.
Pretty much, you can expect once setup for the Talkswitch 48-CA to run itself. It is a full featured small business 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, a Talkswitch 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.
