KX-T: Re: any integration with home automation?
Joseph, We have our KX-TD1232 connected to ECS. We have a somewhat older ECS version, so we use a card called "Bigmouth" to announce several items: -Caller ID to the living room (it tells us who is calling before we pick up the phone), -A door is left open more than x minutes. (We have children). Windows left open at night get announced in the evening, before it gets too late. -Special messages announcements (Time to leave for school at 7:45 weekdays, etc.) -Emergency messages (Smoke detectors on, etc). Announces to house first, then calls emergency responder list(Security svc, my pager, etc.) -Wake up calls, these include the weather data from our Davis weather station with current conditions. Kids know whether to dress warm or cold. -Scarecrow calls. If motion is detected at the front or back doorphone areas late at night, ECS turns on the light (via X10) , and calls the doorphone involved asking them to either identify themselves or 911 is being called. -Power outages. The system runs on a UPS. UPS data goes to a digital input. Any power outages page me. I capture the SMDR data into a program I wrote years ago in Pascal. It is logged into ECS, and stored. The family finds it useful.So and So called 3 weeks ago from their cell phone, what was that number ? This could also be useful for legal purposes to prove we called Mrs So and So on a specific date. We also have the TVS-50 voice mail. Most of these don't require a KXTD1232. We chose that after we added onto the house and we needed more than 16 extensions. We can use ECS to announce to specific rooms, or groups of rooms, or the whole house. The phone stuff is a fraction of what ECS does. I have not evaluated the newer version of ECS with our phones, but if you are interested they are launching a new version at http://OmnipotenceSoftware.com . We have been using ECS for over 10 years now. My children have grown up thinking all houses are like this. I wrote a magazine article about our original system back in 1995. It is at www.homeautomator.com . Look in "Previous Issues" and scroll down to the Volume 1 , Number 2, and click on Reddy Biggs' ECS-automated home. We have upgraded much of the system since then, but you will get the idea of how we started.

Put them in a class of service that does not have Executive Busy Override (program 505), or protect some phones with Executive Busy Override Deny (program 506). Michael N.

KX-T: Dialing an Extension - No Answer
On our TVS-200, when there is no answer to an outside caller dialing an extension throught the VPS, the following prompts are played (in succession): 363 Sorry, no one is available to answer your call. 364 To leave a message, press 1. 368 To try another extension, press *. Is there a good reason why these are played back-to-back, instead of just using a single prompt, or even combining 364/368? When a user presses *, it kicks them back to the main menu rather than (what I would expect) prompting them for another extension number. Is that the default behavior or have I mucked something up? Is this behavior programmable or fixed? For instance, what if upon no answer, I wanted to immediately kick the caller into the voicemail box for the extension?

KX-T: Technical help
Does anyone have the spec. for the FSK caller ID burst? Nothing fancy, just what is the minimum acceptable level at the customer's demarc? (In DBm). And at what level does it leave the CO? I'm in the middle of a big (and getting bigger) argument with SNET/SBC and need some ammo quickly!!

Re: KX-T: Technical help
Hi Steve, Thanks .I've learned more than I ever wanted to about CID tonight Actually it's 1200 baud data and leaves the CO at -13.5 DB across 900 ohms. My Dynatel can measure the level and perform several other CID tests, but no one seems to be able to come up with an acceptable minimum level I can expect at the far end, ie: the customer's premises. I think they shoot for a maximum loss of around 6 DB in the speech ckt, and since the CID is in band FSK, I can probably expect the same amount of loss...around -20 for a level at the far end. Sure wish I had more concrete numbers to go back to them with Thanks again.. Best, Jim - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 6:31 PM Subject: Re: KX-T: Technical help Jim: As best as I can tell you is CID 300bps of data after the first ring. The max level will be 0dBm from the CO, but you'll need to check your line loss. That may be an issue. Use a cheapo CID box or a Lil' Buddy Test set, they read CID and are fairly cheap, compared to TS-22A. That will narrow down some problems, if you read it on those devices. Verizon is terrible for caller ID here, I get OUT OF AREA often, and it can be a local call, sometimes I get the number with OOA, other times I get LD with the State the call originated from. So you tell me. It's an imperfect science here. Good Luck Steve L.
