RE: [ECS] Does Panasonic Pass Caller-ID? joerut.epix.net Wed, 6 Sep 2000 21:00:11 -0400

Hello David

I know this is a bit late reply but actually I just installed my phone 
system this weekend. I have the KX-T61610 and it DOES NOT 
pass the caller ID info through to the extensions. I did however 
figure out a way to have ECS get caller ID info and still be 
connected to an EXTENSION of the panasonic unit for such things 
as paging. It does require a bit of external HARDWARE and some 
creative programming of the KX-T61610 along with ECS but after 
what seems to be a confusing time of connecting phone cords all 
seems to be working. Let me know if you or anyone else would like 
a drawing of this (once I actually draw it out). Like I said it seems 
confusing but if analyze the wiring it makes sense.
