In the older CTX software versions, there was a bug where when u change the flex keys from lower to higher number (eg. from 10 to 20), u'll have to restart the system for the new flex keys to work.


Thats what I thought too. Ext X has intercom pitch 13 and Ext Y has intercom 15. Different ring tones for different extensions. Up to 4 different ring tones to choose from.

"Paging" is just the term used, it actually "rings" the phones. Set prg 507 to Paging Group, under destination number, enter the page group number (eg. 1). Then assign the extensions u want to "ring" when the door phone is pressed at page group (Prg 502). The phones won't be "paged" but will ring with a "ding dong" tone

Phantom owner isn't necessary, but ur right abt putting the button on each phone, and set it to Immediate/Delay ring. BTW, if u use delay ring, don't forget to increase the door phone ring duration (Prg 507 FB4)

Becks? I had to google this one.

From Becks.com:
"Everyone knows 'BECKS': from New York to ..."

Apparently, not everyone...

Alfee,

You sound very knowledgeable about the Toshiba System.

Now I understand why I had trouble going from a 10 button phone to a 20 button phone. My way worked, but it would have been easier just to restart my system.

You mentioned having my door phone ring a page group. I could not get that to work. I set my door phone to ring group 1 and each phone extension to ring group 1. When I pressed the door phone, all I heard was a click and no ding dong. The phantom extension idea did work. All I did was put that phantom extension on every phone that I wanted to ding dong. Using a page group would be a little better because it would save a button on the phone.

I see it is possible to have a day1, day2 and night ring. Although there is an automatic way change these settings, how can I do this manually?

Thanks,
John

There are many, here, who are more knowledgable than I am on Toshiba systems, I'm always learning something new from the forum. I'm also quite week to browse/post on the forums coz its our Chinese New Year holidays this week.

Assign a "Night transfer" button on an extension's flex key (Prg 205).

Day1 - "Night transfer" + 1 (no indicator)
Day2 - "Night transfer" + 2 (flex key flashes red)
Night - "Night transfer" + 3 (flex key permanently red)

Make sure that phone has the ability to change the mode in Class of Service

Both of you had good points. The method of changing modes day and night modes has changed from Strata VI days.

My next questions was covered earlier, but I wanted to make sure. Can a phone that is not programmed to ring get caller-id? Someone mentioned that the phone has to be set to ring. If this is correct, I don't understand why.

- John

Because, there could be calls coming in as DID, for this group or that and none of them would be set to ring for YOU.

No ringeee dingeee, no CID. You could lower your ring volume.

Question: Will this post get up to 100 and if so will it self destruct or will it show 3 digits?

Have there ever been any posts that got to 4 digits?

Some people have mentioned somthing called analog ports. How do analog ports differ from a regular POTS line? My fax machine is directly connected to a POTS. Maybe I could somehow connect my fax machine to my CTX100 system.

- John

POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) are your CO, incoming lines, and they are analog, IE, not digital. Your DKT phones are digital, connected to digital ports on the switch.

You can hook up an analog device, ie fax, modem, standard telephone, to the CTX if you have an ASTU, or a BSTU card installed. A PDKU, BDKU, ADKU, or BWDKU are all digital only cards. There is a half digital, half analog card, but I've never seen it. The ASTU is harder to see, because it is a circuit board, if installed, under the left cover.

I've never seen much of an advantage to having a fax in a system without a PRI. Most people have a dedicated line for fax anyway. I can see if it is primarily outgoing, then you could share the same lines as everyone else. I could maybe see if you created the auto attendant menus to send fax calls to the fax.

I usually keep them on their own lines.

Newtechky is correct, analog and POTS mean exactly the same thing, different letters.

The CTX/CIX will accept any of the older single line port cards, PSTU, RSTU, RDSU in addition to the BSTU and ASTU. Is that enough U cards for U?

The RDSU came equipped with two single line ports and two more could be added with a daughterboard, and the bottom four ports were the same as a PDKU which would run 2000 series phones such as 2020SD.

If you have a small place with few lines or a mansion with few lines for that matter, the fax can be put on the system and used to make calls out but this blocks faxes from being received.

Only 22 more posts to go to reach 100, don't stop asking questions now.

On top of the cards mentioned by bunnie, we also have BSLU and BSLS for 16 analog port on 1 slot.
