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 248VS is a new member of the Talkswitch family of products. It is an expandable system. A single Talkswitch 248VS has up to 2 analog phones lines, up to 8 VOIP phone lines, with 4 analog and 8 IP extensions for a total of 12 extensions. A 248VS makes a good small or home office phone system. You can hook up to 4 of these together (networked), or, mix and match with the other current Talkswitch models that have a network port. Hooking multiple units together provides an equal number of additional incoming lines, VOIP trunks, local extensions, and remote extensions. Therefore, 4 Talkswitch 248VS hooked together provides 8 analog incoming lines, 32 VOIP trunk lines, 16 local extensions, and 40 remote extensions. It functions as one phone system. You can program up to 10 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. You can also network a 248VS with any current Talkswitch model with a network port. It is ideal for companies with a small office, wanting a hybrid analog VOIP system using a mix of analog and VOIP trunks that can later be expanded if needed, or adding on to an existing system where the need is for VOIP trunks and more extensions.

Surge Protection for your Talkswitch 248VS, if an option is shown above, can be added. The most likely reason your Talkswitch 248VS 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 248VS, 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 number of ports, pick the appropriate number for your system. If for example you pick "4 ports", this means a total of 4 incoming analog lines and analog extensions running to your Talkswitch 248VS. So, "Ports" refers to the total of powered analog extension phones, fax machines, or other analog devices, and, incoming analog lines.

Pretty much, you can expect once setup for the Talkswitch 248VS to run itself. It is a full featured small office phone 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.
