sundance-communications.com/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Panasonic Telephones & Systems KX-TD816: Caller ID to analog sets or no?

My TD816 unit is now humming nicely, taking calls from one CO line and ringing various vintage sets. I believe I have the CID board installed, as CID info appears on the Panasonic phone I have in port 1 (and works in other ports as well.)

My question is simple: does this KSU pass CID data to analog phones or not? If no, then I can stop poring through the configuration for how to turn that feature on

I figured it passed the audio squawk directly to the extension lines when a CO call came in but maybe it receives the data, chews on it a bit and passes it on via its own methods.

You need KXTD-171 8 station card w/ SLT CID.
Some on Ebay from 25.00

But I believe you need a -3 to use said card.

The thing to keep in mind is the TD-171 card has CID to only one extension, along with being a -3 or later. The 824 has CID to SLT's if the KSU has a CID card on the trunks. The package switch comes with the card.

I've got the TD-170 module for the extra 8 extensions, but no CID. And, being a -0 KSU, I guess I can't use the TD-171 anyway, so I may be out of luck.

Is the CID card you refer to the KX-TD193? According to Panasonic's mini-catalog, it "ALLOWS CALLER ID INFORMATION TO APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY OF PROPRIETARY TELEPHONES AND SMDR PRINTER." I have that now, so I must have that card installed (I haven't popped the cover off the KSU to look.)

Ah ha...just noticed in the KX-TD170 description in that same doc that the TD170 "PROVIDES CALLER ID FOR SLT PHONE ON THE FIRST PORT." I didn't try any of the expansion ports with my analog CID phone. Maybe that's all I need?

We talked about two systems. The TD has to have a TD-193 card for CID as well as the TD-171 CID extension card to bring single line CID to one extension.

The TA-824 needs an 82493 card only and the CID will appear on all analog or proprietary phones.

Ah, gotcha. I missed the switch from TD to TA.

A TDA50 would give you CID to slt and allow you to use your vintage phones and the Analog key phones from Panasonic as well as all the new digital phones.

No, the tda-50 and companion taw-848 has a -68 extension CID card.
