System - TDA30 Hybrid IP PBX
Sets - DT346B X 10 of them
Wireless - TD7695

1. Can you do a voice call like on a Norstar system where there is an instant connection to the speaker so the called person does not have to pick up the phone yet still converse.

2. Can you do the same on the wireless?

3. Can you put each phone in its own page zone, strange yes but page just one phone instead of a voice call. or in other words how many pages zones does this system have?

3. If we do put put each phone in its own page zone then what is the code to page all zones?

4. Can you page the wireless as well?

Thanks!

If you press auto ans button, it will allow you to call extension and it will answer with a beeb and you can have 2 way conversation.

wireless no.

yes it you want, there is 32 user groups/page zones paging codes *33 plus zone 01-32


Extensions which cannot be paged are:
–
PSs,SLTs, Ringing or busy PTs, PTs in Paging Deny mode, PTs in Paging DND mode

Ok here is what I was told over the phone:

Wireless - TD7695 excepts pages over its little speaker.

Method to voice call is make the intercom call then press voice button at top right.

So will take it as a yes either way/method.

I am concerned on the wireless and see your are in Ireland and wonder if different rules applies to Countries.

Thanks for your reply mate.

Sorry what is the code to page all zones?

7695 has Auto Answer, also the newer Dect cell phones.

Thanks Brokeda

I am frustrated....as the customer is about to yank it for a Norstar but it does not do what they want either.

I found this in the user guide:
EXTENSION PAGE/INTERCOM
Lift handset
Dial Extension number
While extension is ringing press “*” key
Tone
Announce

Is * equal to Auto Answer?
So far the answers are:
Press *
Press Auto Answer
Press Voice
I gather it depends what phone type.


PAGE ALL EXTENSIONS or via PA System
Lift handset
Dial ‘*33’
Page group number (2 digits)
Tone
Announce
Wait for answer


1. That's how to page each zone, nothing mentioned on how to page all zones/exts at once.
2. Wait for answer? from who? the devil? why would I wait for answer from a page?

Read the user manual slowly, it's all in there.

The extension user and programming controls how a phone receives pages. First of all, each phone can be voice announced and have handsfree answerback via programming and the use of the Auto Answer button. They can also be in a page group and be called at once. Anyone in the same page group can pick up a phone and dial a code(*43) to join the pager in a private call, cancelling the all call page.

In general practice, we put phones in one or two page zones, perhaps one for the office and one for the factory, but keeping in mind that the factory phones would lose the ability to dial *43 to answer an all page from the office.

Unless something is different, there is no page to a PS. That may have changed with the new sets.

Thanks Carl

I have read the manual slowly and cut and pasted some of it above so based on the user guide and the 3 answer here that cannot tell me what the page all zones code is I will take it there is no Page ALL zones code like you can with Norstar.
Therefore I am guessing you have to painfully add all sets into a zone of your choice to achieve this.
Where Norstar by default a set is in zone 1, it can be changed but regardless you can page all zones no matter what.

Perhaps my Norstar experience is reading the Panasonic guide in a backwards manner but my rather simple questions seem now complicated in the Panasonic world.

As for the wireless model I will have to make a judgment call and hope that OBD is wrong above.....it's a very long drive to site.

Thanks again.

The phrase is manualz. Not to be mean but since I did RTFM and took time to reach over and dial it, go to any phone and dial *3332 on the intercom. Look at program 640 in the PTPM.

OBT is reading from the same manual (FM) and the conditions were as he listed them.
