Thank you for choosing the Orchid Telecom PBX 206 telephone system. Please take time to read
through this User Guide to get the most from your new purchase.
• All extension sockets should be Master type with built in ringing capacitor. (If you use a
secondary type socket, and your extension phones are older type 4-wire working, they will
not ring).
• We have a range of “Easy Install” adaptors for connecting the extensions. They are
available in 3 lengths; 10cm, 5m and 10m. Please contact your supplier for more details.
Wall Mounting:
• Drill 2 holes, 8.5cm apart. (Take extra care not to drill through electrical wiring or pipes.)
• Adjust the screw heads until the PBX fits firmly against the wall.
All programming is done on Extension 1 ONLY.
NOTE: If Programming is being done successfully you will hear a Beep (beep) after every #, if
unsuccessful you will hear a Series of Beeps after the #.
In this guide all dialed digits will appear in RED text.

The PBX 206 is configured at the factory for 2 Exchange Lines to be connected. If you only have 1
line connected it is important that the system is set-up as follows:
1 Exc ange Line connected:
Ext 1 Dial: * # 2 1 # (beep) Hang Up
2 Exc ange Lines connected:
Ext 21 Dial: * # 2 1 2 # (beep) Hang Up
Lines
This is a useful feature for spreading the incoming call load over certain extensions or a specific
line direct to a specific extension. Useful if you are sharing the PBX with another company.
IMPORTANT: The factory set default is to ring all Extensions 1 – 6 on both lines.
This ringing pattern can be changed to suit your requirements.
If you only want Extensions 1, 2 and 3 to ring on Line 1 and Extensions 4, 5 and 6
to ring on Line 2
Ext 1 Dial: * # 1 1 1 123 # (beep)
* # 1 2 2 456 # (beep) Hang Up

The Orchid PBX has a very flexible Call Restrictions package which should enable you reduce
your phone Bill by eliminating unnecessary calls.
For example you can restrict individual or All extensions from calling premium rate numbers,
International numbers, mobile numbers or calls to the Speaking clock or Directory enquires.
Call types such as Local, National, Mobile, International, Non Geographic, Directory enquiries etc
can be programmed into Call Groups.
CALL BARRING
There are Call barring groups 1 to 4, and each group can have up to 20 call types of up to 4 digits.
For Example Group 1 could contain Premium rate 09 and mobile 07 call types, Group 2 could
contain International calls to Asia 008 and Directory enquiries 118 etc. These groups
can be assigned to individual or all extensions.

•The PBX is compatible with 2 wire phones only, if they are 4 wire, we recommend using the
Orchid Easy Install Adaptors. To check if the phone is 2 wire compatible, look at the small
RJ11 plug that connects to the phone, if it is 2 wire it will only have 2 connections like the
black cable below.
