I am thinking the KX-TEA 308 is a small version of our
kx-TAW 848 . Can you hang 7680/90 cordless phones off the 308
there?

The kxtes 308 is a smaller version of your kxta824. it only supports the 70xx,77xx and slt telephones. we can only run dect cells of the kxtda systems here.

Does your kxtwa support digital telephones as I saw something about dxdp

by picture I saw it looks like a taw 848 it does not support digital phones but does support kx-tda 0141 cell stations and kx-td 7680/90 for all intents
it is a white tda 50 w/o the use of digital phones and non of the ip stuff.
If your KX-TEA 308 has ARS its not a small version of the KX-TA 824

Hey,

It does have ARS, infact it's got quite a lot of useful features and is by no means limited. That said I think it's only about $450-500 worth so I guess it's a small basic pbx by many standards.

Well we did need feature line anyway.

We need either a hunt group or call divert incase some of the lines are busy. The hunt group could only be set up on two numbers so we went for call divert. This allows us to divert to our vonage line aswell which hunt group would not do.

Obviously difference being hunt group would do just that, hunt, but this suits our needs.

BT told us the following.

"Previous, on our standard lines, we would charge a fee per extra service such as answer phone or call divert, etc. However with our new feature lines, you pay one small set fee, and have the use of any (within reason) service you require".

This isn't strictly correct as hunt groups are still extra. I think it's a load of bull to make it sound like we a re getting more for less!

you really could have forwarded the vonage line busy no answer to the main BTN thats what I do here I use the vonage line most of the time and I have it forward after 40 sec's to my bis line and if you call and the line is engaged then it will ring the bis line right away!!

Our vonage line is the main line out and bt line 1 the main line in. Line 2 is overflow for either. This suits us anyway.

Okay guys I am about to give up on this as I don't think it's possible... which I would find odd.

Here is what I have:

ARS turned on for all 3 lines.

Route 1 = Line 3 (vonage line. No prefix no. required)
Route 2 = Line 2 (PSTN line. Requires user to dial 9 for outside access)
Route 3 = Line 1 (PSTN line. Requires user to dial 9 for outside access)

I have Line 2 & 3 only set to 'add number 9' in front of the dialed number.

We do not require users to use certain lines for certain numbers i.e. international. We just require users to dial out on Lines in order 3,2,1.

Therefore, I probably wrongly assumed that I can just leave the number selection number on the routes blank and it will just use the lines in order as above and the only difference is that it will prefix lines 2,1 will the number 9 will will allow outside access.

This however doesn't work. The manual isn't much help or rather it doesn't help a lot.

So, before I just give up, any ideas about this?

Thanks

The ARS works by the number dialed and not the line it is on, so unless you set if up that certain calls i.e. international calls go out on line 3 , set it to not dial 9.

the ARS on the kxtes 308 is very basic.

Other than that remove line 3 from ARS and when lines 1 &2 are busy enter line 3 access code (83) and then you know not to dial 9.

For this to work fully, you would have to upgrade to a Kxtda 30
