System Highlights:

Dual Port Usage
The KX-TA624 System is ready for expansion right from the start. You can easily connect a Panasonic proprietary telephone and a single-line device simultaneously to any single extension port. This feature increases the cost effectiveness of your system and helps eliminate extra wiring costs.

Caller ID Compatibility1
Displays the incoming caller's phone number or name when used with a Panasonic KX-T7000 series display phone. Display of name may not be available with some Caller ID services. The system can log up to 20 unanswered calls per extension. With the help of Caller ID1 and the Call Log feature you can identify those callers when you come back to your desk, allowing you to easily return the calls.

Flexible CO Line Buttons
The central office (CO) line buttons on each telephone in the system can be programmed to suit the specific needs of each employee. You can alternately program CO line buttons for Direct Station Selection (DSS)/Busy Lamp Field (BLF, automatic dialing or one-touch access to the feature used most often.

Automatic Redial
At the touch of a button the phone automatically redials the last number called. This feature can be extremely helpful when you're trying to get through to a busy party.

Proprietary Cordless Phone Integration
The Panasonic KX-T7880 cordless phone can easily integrate on a proprietary basis with the KX-TA624 System. The KX-T7880 offers flexible keys with indicators that can be programmed to access central office lines. It also features intercom, redial, conference and hold buttons on the cordless handset, providing easy access to these functions even while you're away from the base unit.

Single Line Device Integration
The KX-TA624 allows you to connect many types of telephone equipment, such as answering machines, cordless phones, fax machines and computer modems, without the need for costly additional cards or modules.

Direct Inward System Access (DISA) with Fax Detection and OGM
With the addition of a KX-TA62491 DISA with Fax Detection and OGM Card, the KX-TA624 will provide a simplified "auto-attendant" feature with two custom 30-second outgoing messages. After dialing into the system callers can obtain single-digit access to extensions or ring groups at any time during or after the outgoing message. Callers who want to access the system's outside lines or place intercom calls can be required to dial a security code first. Additionally, if a fax call comes into a line that is programmed for DISA (and a CNG tone is detected), the system will automatically transfer the call to the designated fax extension, thereby eliminating the need for a dedicated fax line.

Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
By connecting a serial printer to the system, or by attaching a call accounting system, you can obtain a record of calls. Know who called where, when, and for how long. Account codes may be assigned to keep track of costs to be billed to clients, employees, projects or departments.

Toll Restriction
The KX-TA624 can be programmed to prohibit unauthorized outgoing long distance calls by restricting certain extensions from accessing specified area codes or exchanges.

Voice Mail Integration
You can connect a Panasonic KX-TVS Series Voice Processing System to the KX-TA624 system without costly software or hardware upgrades. Give your business a highly professional edge with such features as automated attendant, voice mail, interview service and custom service scripts, matched to the needs of your business and its callers.

Door Phone & Door Opener
With the addition of the optional KX-TA62460 Door Phone/Opener Adapter Card, the KX-TA624 System can interface with up to 4 door intercoms and 4 door contact closures for remote operation of electric door locks. It's an ideal way to add security to your home or small business suite. Time (Day/Night/Lunch) Service The system can automatically switch between day, night and lunch modes at a programmed time every day. The modes can also be changed manually by the operator or manager at any desired time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's included with the base unit? The KXTA624 is the base unit. It includes the enclosure, power supply, base functionality (3 outside lines by 8 extensions, 3 x 8) and room for all the option cards below. All outside line and extension connections are via 6 position, 4 conductor modular jacks along the top of the unit. The unit is designed to mount to a wall, and plugs into a 120V AC plug. All settings are non-volatile so the unit will not loose its programming during a power failure. During a power failure, the unit "shorts" outside line 1 to extension 1 as an emergency phone. To battery-back the unit...put it on a small UPS designed for computers.

How is the unit programmed? The unit basically works right out of the box. It is programmed from a feature phone (that's why at least one feature phone is required) plugged into port 1. It's pretty easy to program...the hard part is figuring out what all those features do! The manuals are quite comprehensive and the unit has hundreds of programmable features. You just mark up the provided worksheets with any the non-default settings, and follow the display prompts on the feature phone to enter the changes. Changes take effect immediately and are thus very easy to test.

How do I add outside lines and extensions? You can add one or both of the expansion boards to the base unit:

Add the KXTA6247 3x8 expansion card to end up with 6 outside lines and 16 extension lines.
Add the KXTA6248 0x8 expansion card to end up with 3 outside lines and 16 extension lines.
Add both the KXTA6247 and KXTA6248 expansion cards to end up with 6 outside lines and 24 extension lines.
How does the doorphone work? The base unit supports a single doorphone/opener card (KXTA6246). That card supports up to 4 doorphones (KXT30865) and door openers (a contact closure). The doorphones themselves consist of a speaker, microphone, and a doorbell button. Each doorphone connects to the system unit via a single pair of wires.

What is DISA/OGM? Direct Inward System Access/OutGoing Message. It is simply a fairly simple "auto attendant" card for the base unit. With this card, you can record a single level voice menu to help "direct" callers. This feature is actually quite flexible in implementation...as long as you understand that there is only a single level of menu.

How is the caller ID handled? If you add one caller ID card (KXTA624A) per each three outside lines coming into your system, the system will display caller ID information on your display feature phones. Note that the original caller ID information is sent to the feature phones over the digital link, not the analog link (as it came in). So your own caller ID devices will not work when plugged into extension ports.

What kind of feature phones should I use? The most popular phone is the KXT7720 (available in black and white, see below). It is the least expensive phone that provides the features most people want, such as hands-free-answer, paging through the phone speakers, a display, and lots of programmable keys for speed dial, direct outside line access, direct extension access, and special feature access. The more expensive version, the KXT7730, has a backlit display.

How about regular phones? You can use your regular phones connected to the same extension as a single feature phone, and connected to an extension by themselves. Note, however, that you cannot "page" through a standard phone's speaker as you can through the KXT77720, KXT7730, and KXT7735 phones. If you want to use the "paging through phones" feature, you should sprinkle enough of the feature phones around that they can be heard from anywhere in the house.
