I have a SoHo application which needs distinctive ringing on several groups of CO lines to distinguish business calls from home calls -and the latter has to be divided up between "parents" and "teens." We were looking at the TA-824 because it has distinctive CO ringing. However it appears that there are only three types of cadence variations, and that these have to be split among not only the CO lines (where you can use the three difference cadences to help recognize three different CO lines ringing) but also among the Intercom and Door phone rings. So if the TA-824 only has three cadences and you have "CO", "Intercom" and "Doorphone" to distinguish, the you really can't use the 'distinctive ringing' feature to separate the CO lines as well because it would get confused with whatever similar choice you made for Intercom and Doorphone (see 9.3.1 in the 824 programming manual where it makes this reference). Did I miss something here?
I know that some of the "digital phones" could have distinctive "tones", but as I recall they were single frequency and rather annoying. Are they any other alternatives in the Panasonic world where I can get cadence variances on the CO ringing that is not the same as Doorphone and Intercom? TDA-50 maybe? I know there's been some discussion from some of the vendors on this list being frustrated with the Panasonic's seemingly lack of attention to feature enhancements over the last couple of years ,and some of you have mentioned switching customers to the Partner ACS . I'm wondering if that system has better choices for Distinctive Ringing?
