My Home PBX System - Panasonic KX-TD816 / KX-TVP200

[@jhonwask]

I always wanted my own PBX and now am on the hunt for a simple one. Thank you for the video.

[@wiziek]

No point in that. You can install freepbx on spare computer or virtual machine and get everything with voip over network.

[@chargermopar]

I have had a home PBX since 1998 which started as a Merlin system that I salvaged from a demolition, it grew to add Asterisk and VOIP and using an Adtran channel bank supporting a classic Western Electric 1A2 key system. Somewhere around 2004 I added VOIP support and integrated our office, which ran a Panasonic key system just like yours. Eventually I converted the business to Asterisk and fully integrated with my home. My parent's home and a few friend's homes are now connected together by iax

[@VE2ZAZ]

The '816 PBX allows to define extension groups that will allow to pick up a call from any extension in the group by dialing a code (I think 29). If you set up the 24 buttons properly, you will also see all extensions' activity on individual button LEDs. You will also see the CO lines' activity. You can also set up an automatic call transfer to another extension after a number of rings. Lots of possibilities to play with... Bert.

Hi, This is like a disease, never ending! Not totally fulfilled with the Panasonic PBX, I am in the process of converting to IP PBX using a Raspberry PI and eight LG-Ericsson IP8830 IP phones. I am currently running the cables in the house. In parallel, I am programming the FreePBX/Asterisk so that my system has the same functionality as my Panasonic system and my family does not feel lost with the new system. I must admit it is a lot of work to get there.... Cheers. Bert.

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi, Thanks for watching. As mentioned below, I am in the process of converting to IP PBX using a Raspberry PI and eight LG-Ericsson IP8830 IP phones. A lot of work to get a system running with all the telephone set features such as BLT, ringing groups, thermostat control, etc.... But I love it! Cheers, Bert.

[@jonathankeenan80]

Can you do an updated tour of the new system?

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi Brandon. True, one digital, one analog line for each RJ-11 jack on the '816. I used regular 4-wire RJ-11/RJ-11 cables with 4-contact plugs. I cut them into two pieces to make two cables. I used a standard punch block (seen upper-left in the video) to break out each RJ-11 jack/cable to the house extension cables. Some of the extensions are wired from the expansion module. The 25 pair-cable is also brought to the punch block. Cheers, Bert.

[@blessingisu4732]

How can I program Panasonic to wireless terminal unit sim card to consular

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi Anthony. Welcome to the world of PBX and key systems. The AT&T 992 is a generic analog phone (for regular PSTN phone lines). The Panasonic KX-TD PBX systems I recommend can interface both generic analog phones and proprietary Panasonic phones, that is, without any additional hardware. That's the nice benefit with them. You will always get a little more benefit in using proprietary Panasonic phones, than when using analog phones. It still works well, but you will have to learn *xx commands.

[@goobm.6538]

Hello, my friend. I purchased a KX-TD816 and KXTVS50 VPS. I am having extreme difficulties finding software for either one. The DPT's are arriving in a few days, so hopefully, I can start getting my system up and running. But I think the VPS requires software to start initial setup configuring. Thank you all for any pointers / moral support. :)

[@FuquarProductions]

Have you found the software?

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi, Yes, this is true. Analog proprietary phones (T70xx-series, for example) use a combination of regular analog twisted pair for the voice and the second pair for the digital functionality on the phone. I elected to use Digital sets (T72xx-series), which use a single twisted pair and are fully digital, including the voice channel. Easier to wire when the number of pairs is limited. I use T7230's everywhere in the house. Cheers, Bert.

[@mahdishahi9048]

hi. Is it possible to link panasonic 1232 with TVM200 ? if yes how?

[@brianpietrzyk8945]

I am looking to do the same thing. I want to get some vintage rotary dial phones set up around the house. I am looking at a 816 as well. I don't think they have the programming set. I am hoping I can just reset it to defaults and that will suffice. Possible? Thanks for doing the video. 73.

[@VE2ZAZ]

The cable is a standard 9-pin-to-25-pin Null modem cable. you can make it yourself. Or use a straight cable and add a Null modem adapter. For the DOS software, search for file "e1232a.exe" on the web. There are many old versions around. Look for version 6.02A7 (year 2002), which I think is the latest. Cheers, Bert.

[@gsunglao]

This very educational and inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Initially I planned to do the same thing but after toying with the idea, I ended up going for voIP since I already have the backbone all planned up. I figured putting an analog would require extra work due to the additional patch panel (I like it organized) let alone a separate system. Like you, I was also fascinated with all this home telecom stuff during my childhood. I was also thinking of putting up a video once I'm done but since what I'll be putting up is a voIP, there really is nothing to show since its just plugging in another RJ45 into the wall socket. I'll be using a Grandstream.

[@VE2ZAZ]

My pleasure...

[@JimMunro]

Thank you for taking the trouble to record this. :)

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi Dean, I don't quite agree with you. For a simple system with only analogue phones, maybe, but with full-featured phones like mine, the Asterisk-based PBX is not easier to set up. The Panasonic PBX is very well documented. The proprietary phones are Plug-and-Play. If you know the basics of telephony, it is almost a turn-key solution. The IPPBX requires a lot of customization for my applications. I use the *_custom.conf files for many functions! The phones were not trivial to program either...

[@rosstga]

Thanks, have used a smaller system but this one is great will investigate. So useful in a multi storey home.

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi rhblakeman, I control the "Temperature Hold" button on my electronic thermostat. I can remotely call the TD816, and depress that button via the door opener relay. This gets the thermostat back into programmed mode, so the air conditioning or furnace will start. Normally an external call cannot send the door opener code, so I had to do a trick with the Voicemail TVP200 box and also wire one of the external line jacks to a free extension port. Too complex to detail further here. Cheers, Bert.

[@batmore1]

Hey, what a neat and tidy wiring job you did. I really like your modifications too, like replacing the hard drive in the voice mail system and your "door opener" modification. I installed a Merlin system in our house, since replaced with a Partner system. I know the Panasonic is a great system. Have you considered updating with an IP system just for fun? I would like to try one of those sometime. Thanks for sharing.

[@DandyDon1]

PABX (Private Automatic Business eXchange). One rather large problem there is absolutely no support by Panasonic for discontinued products. My TA824 is now 8-9 years old, for now it's still supported. The TVA50 voice mail unit 7-8 years old, and it is now failing (Flash memory wear). Luckily it is supported and can be repaired with fresh new parts. Many manuals are all over the place, however with Panasonic Digital, information is left out of the documentation which is only covered in a training class. One other problem with Panasonic Digital. Only certified dealers are allowed to sell and service them. With the use of modern HDs they sleep when not in use (spin down) to stand by mode. I do not know about elsewhere but in the US, punch down blocks are 66 (50 pair) or 110 (also 50 pair). Unfortunately Flash Memory wears much like a hard drive from read/write access. In a Panasonic voicemail system they both get a hard work out.

[@kristofertsao793]

Thank you for the video. The line plugged in the TVS200- where is the source?

[@abiolaabdul2539]

Very Nice and educating ...hope to see more similar videos....thanks

[@1Rabih]

Thanks for sharing ur interesting home pbx system setup :)

[@kendawg_mcawesome]

Nice setup man.

[@raymondknowles2204]

Thanks for the video now i am going to do one for myself

[@jamesfalk7254]

Hi Bertrand From reviewing the comments below, I understand that you are no longer using this KX-TD816/TVP200 system. However, I am hoping that you might have the software still. The link that you have provided no longer works! I have found user manuals and read through them, and tried programming various things using the handset (you weren't kidding when you said it was tedious!) I have got the TD816 running well; but voicemail integration has me lost. I have the same system that you show (with exception of 8-ext module), and I cannot find any reliable software anywhere! I would greatly appreciate anything you can offer. Regards James.

[@rao633]

Hi, i have two Panasonic td816 exchanges running at two different locations, 200 meters appart. Each exchange has its own 3 digits numbering scheme (2xx and 3xx respectively). I would like to interconnect these two exchanges, in order to facilitate voice communication between the two locations (each subscriber from location A to dial directly any subscriber from location B). How should i do that? Thanks in advance.

[@LINESTELECOMCORDEDTELEPHONES]

Informative,, Thanks

[@dr1877]

I have 2 questions... can i use all standard phones or does that require and extra card? does it need to be programmed from a panasonic phone? I have 4 phones

[@SatelliteGalaxy]

I would like to replace the internal lithium battery in my Panasonic KX-TD816. I cannot find a part number, or a procedure for doing this. Any ideas?

[@artramos1]

hi though this has been post way back Dec 10, 2012 but i still find it interesting .. i'm just wondering with your Panasonic KX-TD816, how many telco line(s) does it require? i mean does it have like 10 telco lines then 1 line is used as "front line" or the number being dialed outside but the "front number" will not get busy not unless the telco block of lines are all used (if you know what i mean). i'm just asking because we have a discussion here in our workplace about PABX in which my colleague said that PABX needs a block of telco lines inorder for it not to get busy with only one front line as the main line that everyone knows or recognize as the company phone number. however, correct me if i'm wrong but the way i understand it is that a PABX works like with only 1 paid subscription telco line then a PABX machine inside the office or home which is capable of receiving 5 calls if the PABX has the features of 5-in 5-out so the single telco line will only get busy when all the 5-in's are already full or used so the next incoming call will hear a busy tone if it call the single telco line unless the call goes to the voicemail or queue-waiting if those are configured .. well, those are the way i understand it :) any way, hope you can enlighten me or those who have some ideas about PABX can also share their expertise. cheers!

[@littleduckdanceandartsacad5933]

Good video. I have got a tvp200 with lost 999 password, do u think there is a way to reset the password without putting the system back to default? What software do u use to clone the harddrive? Many thanks.

[@rockyourworld420]

I disconnected my KX-TVP200 from the KX-TD-1232 and now I can't get any of the extensions to ring for incoming calls on all the CO lines. The LED readout says "CO in use" and under that it says "C.BCK". I can dial out on all the CO lines. It there a setting I need to change in the KX-TD1232?

[@Moirrey]

Hi, I have this same system. Can you tell me how you cloned the disk to SD card on the TVP-200? Do you by any chance have a copy of the software, or know where I can get it, if it goes wrong. Gavin.

[@cliu98031]

HI Ve2ZAZ, I have the same system you have but my phone system just went out ( no power) is there a fuse or the power supply is bad? Also my hard drive is also about to go out because im hearing the spinning noise. how did you convert a 315mb hard drive to an sd card?

[@kzpodindustries496]

The only reason I am looking at PBX systems for my home is to weed out solicitation, charity, and political calls. A system that provides a greeting, then gives the option to press 1 for one person or department, then 2 for another, then 3 for another, so if nobody presses any number at all then the call is disconnected. I want all of this on a single residential line then using 3 internal lines, I wouldn't have to hardwire the separate phones around the house as the base units can be wireless with the 4 phone system sets (assuming they won't interfere with each other being so close), then each with separate voice mailboxes. This is really a lot of trouble to just block out the automated calls. Century Link does have the "No Solicitation" feature, where a recording says, "this number does not accept solicitation calls, if you are a solicitor then please remove this number from your records and place the number on your do not call list, if you are not a solicitor then press one or stay on the line." That message is a very negative message to force my potential clients to have to listen to, and it is too long, when all it has to say is, Welcome to _ _ _, to continue this call please press 1. Another problem with the Century Link setup is that it says "press 1 or stay on the line". That means that if it's a long political message that keeps playing then my phone will eventually ring through. I need a system that disconnects if a human does not press a number. People listening to the business greeting then pressing the proper department won't be offensive to anyone, but when I use the No Solicitation feature it's not only annoying for people but just outright unprofessional. Tips and recommended inexpensive products are welcome, although, I have ruled out VOIP as I think VOIP like with magic Jack and Vonage are not reliable enough.

[@brandonhasz3417]

Hi, I like your setup and am thinking about installing something like it. I just have a few questions. First, from my understanding from your video, each RJ11 jack in the PBX supports two extensions. 1 digital and 1 analog. What did u use to break out each RJ11 jack to two RJ11 jacks with separate extensions? Thanks so much!

[@brandonhasz3417]

Can you send me a link where I can buy the cable that you used to connect to your computer to the PBX to manage it? Also can you send me link to where I can download the windows software to manage the PBX? Thanks so Much!

[@jwj2xx4]

When you had this system, did it have caller ID? Were the extension names programmable as well? What was the buzzer like for the doorphone? Some people have reported that it's the same tone as the intercom, which wouldn't be suitable as a doorbell because you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an intercom call and a visitor at the door. Thanks in advance for your insight... '73

Hi, I did not subscribe to the caller ID service, unfotunately. In any case, I don't think my hardware supported caller ID anyway (I go by memory here...). Did not have the KX-TD193 module. I did not have a doorphone. I had the door opener module though. 73.

[@pcuser80]

I have installed many 816 systems with isdn line cards and his big brother. the kxtd1232 even some dual 1232 systems painfull dos program to configure the PBX

[@CarlvicAwe]

I have a hybrid Panasonic but a different model tes824. I follow this setup except the the patch port. Modem(main line)> to PBX co1 and 4telephone extensions and works fine. But problem is i can only getting 1 in/out call( I have 4 trunk-line) Anyway I'm just new in telephony.

[@matteotocco7703]

I prefer NEC PBX (SL/Univerge series) becouse it's really simple to configure and it has the web pro and pc pro.

[@booboo699254]

Are you using an anti-static bag for that SSD in the voicemail? It could cause problems as energized electronics should not be place on it.

In my whole career as a design engineer, I have never heard of low voltage electronics being disturbed by an metalized antistatic bag. Have you ever tried to measure the resistance of such bag? If not, don't waste your time with a regular Ohm-meter...

[@joseph_b319]

Cool video.

[@pepperjackshack2439]

if you have a UPS for your PBX and Voicemail can you still make calls even if the power goes out? assuming your using PoE for the phones. also how do you make calls to the outside world, don't you need to go through a service provider that has access to the PSTFN?

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi Kevin, On this Panasonic Hybrid PBX system I had a UPS. All phoned were power-supplied by the PBX box, similar to POE. Yes I have a POTS line with MaBell. Nowadays, I have a VoIP system, not the Panasonic Hybrid PBX system described in the video. All my hardware (PBX, ethernet switch, ATA, etc) is co-located and connected to a UPS. Of course, I have POE on all of my phones. Cheers,

[@adamjhuber]

Good info. Thanks.

[@maniijuan]

I have this system for my restaurant but I️ have noticed that it’s really hard to hear clients sometimes. Is there anyway to boost the volume to my phones? We’re using KX-T7431 phones with this system. Is it the phones that are the problems? If so, what phones do you recommend to get? Great video by the way. It’s very informative.

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi, It has been a few years now that I migrated to Asterisk/VOIP. I do not recall much about it. But I very much doubt it is the phones. There may be a system gain adjustment. Have you checked in the manuals? One possible way to find out is to contact installers and servicemen on the Sundance Communications Panasonic Forum: sundance-communications.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/9/1/Panasonic This is how I found answers back when I had the system. Good luck.

[@freezeman1234]

Hello, When you state sometimes is it all the time or just once in a while? I state that because sometimes the other end is actually really quiet, you may be able to turn up the dial on the phone but that only does so good. System gain may do some good, but it is only if the system supports it. I know on later models of Panasonic TDE/TDA it is supported it adds a little bit more of noise through but not alot. Also, if I may add take a look at the handsets those are known to get gunky and real quiet after some time of use, I replace 4-16 of those a year just for various reasons.

[@nickpstl]

My question is with only one line coming into the house how many people can you have on hold at once only two? cause of call waiting or how does that work?

[@nickpstl]

thx

[@stephanelevesque7150]

Salut Bertrand, Je voulais juste te dire bravo pour ton vidéo. Belle installation pour ton système téléphonique. Tu m'as donné l'idée de faire la même chose. Moi aussi je suis un freak des TéléCom. Stéphane Lévesque L'Assomption, Québec.

[@VE2ZAZ]

Bonjour Stéphane, Je m'amuse comme un fou avec la téléphonie. Je suis né avec un téléphone à la main! Mon système Panasonic est présentement à vendre (PBX, Voicemail et téléphones). Je me suis converti au téléphones IP. Je n'avais bien sûr pas besoin de faire ça car le système Panasonic me servait très bien. Faut croire que je cherchais quelque chose à faire en téléphonie! Merci des commentaires! Bertrand.

[@benspier5313]

I have the same system. I recently purchased a KXT7730 and KXT7736 to replace two broken phones. I can't figure out how to get them to work! I just unplugged the old phone & used the same cord to connect to new one. I get a dial tone, but can't dial out. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[@VE2ZAZ]

Hi Ben, I never owned these phones so I am not positive about what I say. But there could be compatibility issues with your two phones depending on what version of TD816 you own. I read conflicting compatibility information. In the 2005 KX-TD Product catalog, it shows that the 7736 is NOT supported, and the 7730 is not even listed in the table. Could you be out of luck? Bert,

[@barrya.6212]

Ben...the KX-TD software version NEEDS to be either a 6 or 7 for those model phones to work....look at silver sticker on bottom of system and look for a circle with a number in it....yours is going to be a 1-5 most likely...if no circle it's a "0" version. Those model phones were mainly intended for the KX-T624 / 824 series systems.

[@TKO67]

[@supercattelephone]

would you happen to know what specific third party windows software is out there to program one of these panasonic kx-td816's?

[@VE2ZAZ]

Never used a Windows program for that task. If I recall, there is one, but it is not free. I forgot the name.

[@jonathankeenan80]

can you make an update video about your new system that you mentioned in the comments

Hi. An Asterisk system is not really impressive. All I have is a Raspberry Pi and 8 IP telephones. Nothing really to show, all software. I use FreePBX for the Raspberry Pi. Thanks.

[@KINGMTL1]

I wish I could have a telephone system in my house...I can...and I will one of these days!

[@AXNPictures]

That's not so hard if you know how to work with a computer. Forget about these classic PBX's with limited hardware ports... you could setup an IP PBX on a PC and use it with softphones on windows, android, etc or even with normal phones through some adapters. Lookup asterisk & freepbx.

[@KINGMTL1]

Hi again...do u know where I can get all this...the whole system along with the telephone...I am just like u...I am very fascinated with phone especially with features and hold with music and all...

[@KINGMTL1]

Where can I get that operator that answers the calls and extension and to direct them....ur my BEST friend lol

[@AXNPictures]

Well, since asterisk is actually a software, all you need is a computer to run it - a server more exactly (that's gonna be your "PBX"). Asterisk is free and open source, you can download and install. Search "crosstalk solutions freepbx 101" on youtube and watch the videos. Chris has great tutorials to get you started.

[@Veso266]

can u use this with rotary and isdn phones? and can you hook it up to a computer to program it even more also can you set your own numbers or you have to use default ones (101,102,etc)

[@VE2ZAZ]

The KX-TD series PBX supports pulse dialing from rotary phones. Yes, there is a Panasonic DOS program to configure it. The file is called "e1232a.exe" . There is also third party Windows software available ($). Yes, you can renumber the extensions as far as I remember.

[@Veso266]

but can you connect ISDN phones to it and how do you configure it (do you need a serial cable?)

[@VE2ZAZ]

They sell expansion units called "ISDN U-point Line Unit". These are for ISDN lines. Looks like it also support terminals. I know nothing about ISDN. Please read section 3 of the installation manual: www.voicesonic.com/panasonic/manuals/KX-TD816-1232_System/KX-T816-1232_Installation_Manual_Ver_6.pdf

OK lets say that I purchased the same PBX and telephones that you have. Lets also say that a phone on the second floor has an extension of 100 and a phone in the basement has an extension of 101.

This is a dangerous hobby. I have absolutely no need for a PBX system at home. I live alone in a single story house with no basement. But I've been fascinated with PBX systems for years, and also have a fondness for old phones. I've recently started collecting both. I have a couple of Cisco IP phones working with Asterisk. I have a couple of more that I'm about to start experimenting with setting up via Call Manager Express on a Cisco integrated services router. I already have a few analog phones working on the router via a VIC3-FXS/DID card, including a recently acquired Western Electric model 302 rotary phone. Even with all of the above I've been exploring eBay checking out 1A2 key systems and various PBX systems.

Yes, and more. More flexible, programmable, customizable. Read about Asterisk PBX. I run FreePBX on a Raspberry Pi. Of course the phone you use may have an impact on the accessible features. But you need an ethernet switch and some Cat-5 cable going to all extensions.
