I have the manual set that came with the 816 and VSP75. Where are all those nice codes listed? (Like the one you just gave me).

Thanks,

did you try pressing the * button on the phone when ringing this should then show you the caller id
bettr bet to upgrade the system though i think

I just did, and it didn't.

I just found the feature list.

Thanks to all of you.

P401AA is a version 1 and there is no E prom upgrade. You would have to change the CPU.

I'm glad you told me that. It would proably be cheaper to buy a new unit. I have 5 7235 phones, a fax, voicd mail (looking for a vs50 right now) and 3 CO lines. Any recomemdations? I was thinking of the 816-7 units, but I'm open.

Thanks

Fpgaguy, all this help and you still never completed your profile for us.
I was going to e mail you a list of features per version but, no can do.
If the system meets your needs I would keep it until it craps out or you out grow it.
Most SOHO applications don't use 70% of the features built into a system.

I thought I did fill everything out. Well, I'll do it now. I would love to hear what you think and I do appreciate the help.

You're right of course about most of the features. I've got a seperate building in the back yard that is interconnected with the house. All the home and business lines go into the 816/vs75. The door phones are extemely useful. There was a time before I had them when a VP from a large software company showed up to talk business. I just happend to check the front door as she arrived. Otherwise it could have been bad.

The custom service on the VS75 gives my company as big a look as I want and keeps the "spam" calls away, since I have a seperate custom menu enabled on the home line. The only thing I'm missing is caller ID support. I really want to see the caller ID of a caller before I pick up the phone and I want it logged.

Thanks again for all the help. I'm very techincal, and have a strong comm background, but in the operational comm world. As well all know, no one can know everything these days.

UPDATE 6/7/2005:
I just installed a VPS50 and a 816-7 that I bought on Ebay. It works exactly like I wanted. No more blinking lights. The default behaviour is to display the caller ID while ringing the extension with the VPS programmed with FXA.
