Title: 308/616 programming phone?
Post by: oldguy on May 31, 2016, 11:57:41 AM
Hi guys & gals, I am confused. I'm trying to figure out what phones will work for programming my 308 & 616. Thank you unbeldi & RotarDad for your input but I'm a little (maybe a lot) thick & still don't understand.

Please tell me if I'm wrong

I'm pretty sure KX-T30830, 61630, 7030, 7130 will work?

What about KX-T30820, 30850, 61620, 61650, 122320, 122330, 122350, 7020 & 7050, 7120, 7150?

If you have had experience good or bad with any of these phone please comment.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

That is correct.  These work on either the 30810 or the 61610.

In general,  the *30 telephone types are the capable phones and work on any of the KX-Txxx10 systems.

The original matching types were:
  30830 for the 30810
  61630 for the 61610
123230 for the 123210

Matching them this way, your are also assured that the phone has the appropriate number of line and station buttons and busy lamps for each type of PBX.
But for the configuration function that is not important, and you might want to go with cheapest one you can find.

With the exception of the 123230, these are just ordinary station sets with varying features, not capable for configuring the system.

I can confirm that the KX-T7030 (or 7130) works just fine for programming the KX-T30810 system. Only difference is you'll want to download the KX-T7030 manual (I found it via google), as the programming keys are totally different on that phone. The phone itself also has 4 direct speed dial slots which is handy!
