Multiple Telephone System Compatibility Issues

I have three separate telephone systems operating off the same line in my home. There are two separate Panasonic telephones: an old 2.4 Ghz DSS (Model KX-TG2564CS), a new Digital 5.8 Ghz (Model Kx-TG5438C) and a Uniden 2.4 Ghz possibly analog??? (Model EX13246). I can hear conversations on the 5.8 Ghz from the 2.4 Ghz systems but I cannot be heard by those using the 5.8 Ghz. Only the 5.8 GHz rings. I can determine ring count for the 5.8 ghz (default is 4) but not the 2.4 Ghz systems. Perhaps the ring count for the 2.4 Ghz systems is greater. As well, there does not seem to be any way to alter the ring count on the 2.4 Ghz systems. Whether rationalizing the ring count would solve the ring problem is another question. An added complexity is that the 5.8 Ghz has its own built in answering system while the 2.4 Ghz systems access the existing Bell Canada voice mail service. Sometimes voice mail is trapped by one but not the others. There does not appear to be a pattern. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I most cases it should not matter that you have different phones to 1 phone line. You should make sure that all the phones are running off the main feed box for your property and not off each other. Check that all the wires are connected in each port and that the phone line running between the phone itself and the feed box does not exceed 50 feet because this can cause the phone to echo or not work at all.

What does "parallel set on"

helo, check and make sure other phone is not on, looks like it saying that the line is tied up by other phone . If you only have one phone, try disconnecting base from power and remove battery from phone. hope this helps

When the phone ring, the internet connection is broken. I have filters on all the phones.Can this be a modem problem?

try a separate splitter on the telephone line which is cheap and simple device to split the signal to telephone and modem separately. Also, enable "Tone" mode on the telephone if your telephone system allows.

I am considering buying a Nortel T7208 2 Line phone for my home office. I have two separate lines, with two separate numbers. I need a phone that will allow me to plug both lines into the desk top unit. I...

Hi there...

OK, the Nortel T7208 set works only on a Nortel system.
It has only one line cord plugged into it, cause the telephone system can be programmed for more telephone lines and features from the system.

If you want just a home (analog) telephone service; look at Aastra/ Telematrix/ there are others - 2 line sets.

ONLY buy this Nortel set is you have a Norstar system. Otherwise the set will not work for you. It needs a system to run off.

Good luck in your search!

Can Siemens optiPoint 500 phone be used at home

An "Optipoint 500" phone can not be used at home!
It is a digital phone, specifically designed for Siemens digital phone systems. Do not plug it in at home. That could damage the phone or may knock your phone line off.

However you can use a "Optipoint 500 IP" phone at home for voice over IP calls. But this would be connected into your broadband router and would connect via the web to your companys Siemens phone system.

Need to connect ans. machine to single line on a multi line business phone. Help!

Out of box, the AT&T 1738 is designed to operate on a single telephone line. I don't know of any device on the market today that could automatically switch it between multiple telephone lines.

Some options include (in no particular order):

1) Purchasing additional 1738s to cover the other telephone lines.

2) Some cordless telephones on the market are designed to handle 2 telephone lines. Their answering machines will cover both lines. AT&T and Panasonic offer such phones.

3) Check out AT&T's line of NoKSU small office telephone sets. The phones will handle up to 4 telephone lines and 1 model features a built in answering machine. In order for the telephones to function 100% all phones would have to be replaced with the models within the AT&T NoKSU family.

4) If this is strictly a business application, consider purchasing a true business telephone system for the office.
