A Panasonic
7730 ( or the earlier 7735) can be used to configure the system
if be connected to the first extension jack (marked jack 01).
All proprietary phones (Panasonic7750, 7720, 7730, 7735, 7050,
7020, 7130) must be connected via a secondary wall socket
(2/3A). All four wires (as shown above) must be connected.
Ordinary
phones can be connected to extension jacks 02 to 08. For ordinary
phones only connect two wires to the telephone sockets, red
to pin 5, and green to pin 2. These must be connected to a
master line jack unit (2/2A). DO NOT connect wires to pins
3 and 4. You can identify a master socket because you'll see
a fairly large capacitor (usually yellow) wired onto the circuit.
Note:
Wiring from the control unit to the wall sockets is normally
via an MDF (distribution box).
Paralleled
connection
An ordinary extension (phone, answering machine etc) can be
connected in parallel to a proprietary phone. When an incoming
call is received both phones will ring and either can answer
the call.
To add
an ordinary extension, in parallel to the Proprietary phone,
you simply run a lead from pins 2 and 5 of the secondary socket
to pins 2 and 5 of the master socket where the ordinary extension
will be connected.
3.
Wiring to the exchange lines
In addition
to the eight extension cords already mentioned, the system
is supplied with three plug-ended extension cords that plug
directly into three sockets (numbered CO1 to CO3) located
on the top of the system. The loose end of the cord (no plug)
must be terminated to the exchange lines. If your exchange
lines are terminated on a wall socket, you will wire the two
wires to pins 2 and 5.
** Paragraph
4 is only applicable if you use structured cabling.

Structured cabling, ( i.e. CAT-5 )
One or
more rows of the patch panel are normally dedicated to telephone
extensions outlets. This section of the patch panel will therefore
need to be wired back to the KX-TEA308 Control Unit. When
the outlet is for use with a standard telephone you will need
to wire the voice pair (green and red wire) from the KX-TEA
308 control unit to pins 4&5 - (normally blue/white &
white/blue) on back of the patch panel. When a Panasonic system-phone
is to be connected to the telephone outlet you will also have
to connect the the data pair (black and yellow wires) to pins1&2
(normally white/orange & orange/white). If there is any
doubt as to which connection to use, it would be best to connect
only one extension between the control unit and the patch
panel and test it before proceeding.
Patch
leads will be used at the patch panel to connect (patch) the
extension outlet to the appropriate outlet that leads to the
correct RJ-45 socket.
A "secondary"
adapter will be needed at each RJ 45 socket where a system-phone
will be connected and a master adapter will be required at
each socket where a standard analogue telephone is to be used.
So...when
ordering remember to include patch leads and adapters. We
supply patch panels, patch leads, adaptors etc. If you have
any doubt as to what is required simply give us a call and
we will do our best to help.
Wiring
Tip...Be very careful when wiring behind the patch panel as
too much bare copper wire may result in interference.

Programming
The Getting
Started Guide gives clear instructions as to basic programming
via a KX-T7730 system-phone. To enter the program mode with
a KX-T7730 simply press the programme button followed by *
# and your password. However, one of the interesting aspects
of this system is the ability to use a PC to configure the
system. Windows based software is supplied with the system.
You simply load the software and connect to your PC via a
USB port. The USB lead is not supplied with the system.
Programming
Tips...
Auto
Attendant message:-
To activate
the auto-attendant feature, use your programming software,
click on No. 7 (DISA), then 1. (auto-attendant), Tick the
box that says 'with auto-attendant.
To programme
your message...Press the program key (using a KX-T7730 or
7735 system-phone), press store key, go off hook, press 9,
press 1 (to record) press 1 to 8 (for auto-attendant message
number 1 to 8) , record the message, press store key, message
is played back, press program key, go on hook. (ref to page
130 of the User Manual). '
Now you
have to tell system what message you want the caller to hear...Use
your programming software, click on No. 2 (C.O.), then No.
1 (Line Mode), Under Type click Disa...then in the detail
box select which message you want the caller to hear...often
you will only need one message, i.e. press one for sales,
2 for technical etc.
Idle
Extension Hunting:-
Setting
up your extension groups is easy and well documented. Once
set up, the incoming call will 'hunt' for an idle extension
within the group. We've had a few cases where customers have
said group hunting works fine with internal calls but external
calls fail to hunt within the group.
To get
external calls to hunt correctly the 'line' must be configured
to direct the call to 'one' extension that is within the group.
This is called DIL (Direct in Line) mode. To accomplish this
you use your Maintenance Console software...click on CO...settings,
and you will see that the first column is titled 'mode'. Click
on the word 'normal' and change to 'DIL'. Assign any extension
number that is within the hunt group. Presto...the incoming
call will now hunt for an idle extension within the group.
If you have any problems just give us a call.
External
Call Diversion:-
Traditional
analogue lines cannot reliably support trunk to trunk call
forwarding. If it is necessary to divert calls to an external
number, such as a mobile or home number, we suggest using
the 'BT Divert Calling Feature'. When you order your lines
ask for 'Business Divert Lines'...the last we heard BT did
not charge extra when these lines were ordered. However, if
you already have lines they may charge £1.75 per month,
per line. If you have this feature, you can select the line
and then key in a code to divert calls...i.e. *21*(number
to divert to)#. To turn off the diversion you simply access
the line and key #21# . Be sure to check with your service
provider ( BT etc.) for current availability and prices.
