Will a 550.8416 16 Key Mini DSS work with a 550.8662 IP phone on a Mitel 5000 system running v.1.2?
No, there's no connector for the ribbon cable
This appears to be the correct connector.
Is it possible that this is phone is an 8660 and not an 8662?
The Inter-tel labels and the display screen on boot up all say 550.8662E v2.
Does anyone have any idea if this dss will work with this phone?
I checked the 5000 and Axxess manuals. Both reference compatibility with the 8660 and neither mention the 8662. I’m guessing a field trial is in order.
It turns out the 8662 does not work with the dss. The connector is wrong (it has a lot less pins than the 8660.)
