Panasonic KX-TDA1178 is a 24-port single-line extension card used to expand the capacity of specific Panasonic PBX systems. It provides 24 additional ports for connecting analog devices like standard single-line telephones, fax machines, credit card terminals, and other similar equipment.

Key Features & Compatibility

This card is designed to seamlessly integrate with and expand the functionality of compatible Panasonic PBX systems.

24 Extension Ports: It adds 24 single-line ports, making it suitable for larger businesses, hotels, and other environments that require a high number of basic telephone extensions.
Caller ID and Message Waiting: The card supports Caller ID on single-line phones and can illuminate a message waiting indicator light on compatible devices, improving communication flow.
DTMF Receivers: It is equipped with 16 DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) receivers, which are essential for processing touch-tone signals from connected phones.
Power Failure Transfer: A notable feature is that 6 of the 24 ports are equipped with a power failure transfer, which helps ensure those lines remain operational during a power outage by directly connecting to an incoming line.
System Compatibility: The KX-TDA1178 is primarily compatible with Panasonic’s KX-TDA100D and KX-TDE series, including the KX-TDE100 and KX-TDE200, typically requiring specific firmware versions (e.g., v5.0 or higher) for proper operation. A single KX-TDA100D system can support a maximum of five of these cards.

Installation

The KX-TDA1178 is a plug-and-play card that installs into an available slot on the compatible PBX unit. A qualified technician should perform the installation and configuration to prevent static damage to the card and ensure the system is properly programmed.
