2 line phone system still wanted
Q. Can anyone suggest a 2 line 6 extention phone system with call attendant, and external music on hold for a small office?
A. You dont want much do you? Panasonic makes a nice 2 line phone with intercom the number excapes me right now, also GE /Tompson has a 4 line phone with intercom both have speaker phone and line preferance. neather will light the line lamp when the modem is in use. The only phone systems with jacks in the phones for auxillery devices will be far more than you will be willing to pay for. If you want to go the PBX route there are several posablitys. The panasonic KX-T 308 will support devices like generic phones and modems, you will need at least one Panasonic LCD phone for programing , and the main answer point. There is the Tanstel SK-408 ( which I sell) that will work simeraly but can provide 4 lines as opposed to Panasonics 3 lines, and the programing is far more flexable for customising the system. I think those would be the Panasonic KX-TS400 and GE 2-9450. I'm surprised that they won't even light the lamp when the modem picks up. Other non-intercom phones from those manufacturers have line-in-use indicators that must simply detect off-hook status on the line. Are their intercom phones actually less capable in this regard? Does anyone know of any phone that touts an auxilliary data port where the data port is more than just a straight pass through? The reason that other decices dont work with them is that these phone send and recieve data between them rather than detect a voltage drop for line in use indication. The Panasonic KX-TD digital systems have phone with an XDP( extra device port) jack in the phone. I beleave ther are a few other high end systems with this also. A Transtel SK-408 with three propritary phones a 2 port C.O. expander, MOH input and and hybread capablity for all 8 station ports would be $875.00. A VSU card for automated attendent routing of incomming calls would be $400.00 extra. I would also gladly preprogram the system for you prior to shipment. I'd have to get back with you on the Panasonic as my price sheets for that are in another location. dr.d That's a 4-line phone without intercom. The KX-T3185 is a 3-liner without intercom. The KX-T3280 is 2-line with intercom. TMC and NorTel make good 3-liners with intercom. TMC has a module that will turn on the line-in-use lights when a modem is online. In general, the line-in-use lights on ordinary multi-line phones (no interaction & no intercom) are activated by a zener diode that senses a voltage drop when a phone is off-hook. In KSU-less systems, the lights are activated by data sent from the phone that is off-hook. A comparison of KSU-less (self-contained) and KSU-based systems is on my site at http://www.ablecomm.com/faqredo.htm
