Considering a KX-TA824 but have a few concerns. - 10/18/05 10:47 AM
Hi.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about the KX-TA824. I was considering buying this system for my house.
1. Is this a real phone system or like an Toy 'R US version of a real PBX system? Does it pretty much have the same features of the big expensive phones systems but with less ports?
2. The Panasonic phones used for these are analog and not digital. What type of disadvantages does that give?
3. What do 4 patch intercom limitations mean? Can only a few people use the intercom/phone at the same time?
4. Is has PC based programming right?
5. Do you need to first go off-hook before you can press a DSS button for an intercom call or can you just press the DSS button for an intercom call while on-hook?
6. When you press the DSS to place an intercom call, does it automatically place you on a 2-way speaker room-to-room intercom call provide with the room provided that " Auto-ANS' is on?
7. Auto-ANS have any flashing/solid lights when activated or does it run completely unnoticed in the background.
Sorry if these sound kind of negative but since I'm so seriously considering buying this phone system, I'm really looking at the details very carefully. I don't want to be kicking myself if I choose the wrong system.
Thanks for your help.
