How do I know what kind of Strata system I have? (The phone system came with the house and there are no boxes and not manuals.)

You'll have to look around your basement until you find the system KSU - It's likely a DK 16 or DK 40...

Is the KSU the CAT.5E 568 B with all the phone lines plugged into it?

No, it would be a beige coloured box about 2' high and 14" wide and would clearly say Toshiba on it.

The 2 types of system (not including all the models) are the Strata DK and the Strata CIX. The DK is the older line and the 2000 series phones are the older phones that were used in the Strata DK systems.
I don't know the best way to determin what system is running your phone. I have heard mention here to try to dial with the phone onhook (hungup). If the phone does nothing then you would have the DK series phone system. If you can start dialing (hot dialpad) then you have the CIX system.
Somewhere there is a box on the wall that runs all the phones. In a house I would bet on it being a Strata DK40 or DK 16 (as mentioned above).
I have also seen them in garages, closets, and attics. It should be near the wiring, and it will be pluggrd into power.

If it is an SD (display phone), dial : Intercom, # 402
If it's a DK, it will display the port number. If it's a CIX, it will return a busy.

When I hit intercom and then #402, I get the following display: PHY=001 LOG=001 So I guess that means I have a Strata DK system. What is the difference between the DK16 and the DK40? Also, does anyone know where I can buy a cordless that is compatible with this system? Thank you all very much! Tiffany

I found out its a Strata 424. I accidentally unhooked the doorbell from ringing through the phone. Does anyone know how I might discover how to fix it?

Not knowing what you actually unhooked its gonna be hard to help with the "door bell"

I was afraid of that.... I didn't touch anything on the Strata 424, just on the CAT.5, where all the telephone cables connect from specific room outlets to specific phone codes (like Master Bath hooks to 202, etc.) However, the outlet that says door is hooked up and it still doesn't ring through the phone.???
