Default Re: Interconnecting old telephones?

we have the Panasonic SDBS 308 at work and it rings 300 series phones no problem, though the one I've tried has been converted to BT plug with a 3.3k bell resistor. I think Panasonic only recommend a ren of 1 on an 'SLT' equipped extension, though I don't know the 206 intimately. (hybrid pabxs from panasonic require a master socket on SLT extensions and a secondary socket for digital keyphones).

An unconverted 200/300 will have a REN of 4 afaik and may refuse to work or even ring trip the PABX.

Our 308 won't accept pulse dialling on an extension (since it uses TBR and will interpret a '1' as a recall) but will convert MF to pulse for the exchange if so programmed.
