I'm from a Vodavi world and don't get much of a call for Panasonic but I just acquired an account that wanted a Dect cordless phone set up on their TDA50. I purchased the 2 channel base and the corresponding cordless phone. They have the ports available but I'm having issues with mating the Dect Cordless base. I have it hooked up to a valid super port, the status light on the base eventually turns green but I need to mate the phone to the cell base . I keep getting stuck at this point. It wont mate when I press the cordless phone button for a few seconds.

I think I need to program the system to see the base. I have a display phone available but they didn't install them with station100 to be a phone on the system. I think it starts at 108 up to 115. And the base of the cordless access point has a dip switch bank underneath which I assume is for addressing multiple base sets.

Do I have to be at station 100 to get into programming? Can I program using the RS232 port without using proprietary software? Vodavi allows direct rs232 as well as phone programming.

The programming manuals I found online don't explain things to clearly when trying to hook up the Dect phones or base.

Do I have to get into TDA50 programming to mate the phone to base?
If I do, which section do I reference?
When that mates, does the phone extension take on the port number the base is plugged into?
I think I can figure out button programming once into programming assuming defaults on passwords.

what model phone, is it a cell type?

I'm sorry. I should have added that info.

Its the KX-T0155 and the KX-TCA185

TO155 needs to be v4.
MPR needs to be v3 or above.

I think you need the console, thats the only way I have done this.
