Prioritize your voice traffic
If your Internet connection is shared between computers and TalkSwitch
(i.e. data and voice), it is critical that the voice traffic has priority over the
data traffic. Many routers support Quality of Service (QoS) routing for this
purpose. If your router supports QoS, ensure that it is enabled (see your
router documentation for configuration details).

Example: Figure 125 on page 160 shows a multi-location network where two
locations are equipped with TalkSwitch systems and a teleworker is equipped
with a Mediatrix 2102 device. TalkSwitch and the Mediatrix 2102 route VoIP
calls over the Internet, while local calls are routed over the regular
(traditional) telephone network.
