KX-TDA50
Digital Hybrid IP-PBX System

Panasonic is a major worldwide
innovator in business telephone
system engineering, and has
consistently provided state-of-the-art
telephone equipment for more than
40 years.
Nowadays, if your business is to
remain competitive, it needs a
communication solution that can
change rapidly with you.
The KX-TDA50 was designed to
provide growth for your business while
maintaining a small, compact design.
It also gives you the
tools you need to provide small
business solutions at an
affordable price.
What that means to you is, if you find
that your needs have grown, you can
add additional cards and telephones to
your existing system without
having to buy a whole new one.
Making the System
Work for You.

The design of the KX-TDA50 allows you to expand your
system as your needs grow by plugging in additional
cards and telephones to the plug-in architecture. This
means, if you start with a basic system and find that your
needs have grown, you can add additional cards and
telephones to your existing system without having to buy
a whole new system.
In terms of maximum capacity, the KX-TDA50 can
support up to 8 CO lines and 28 extension ports which,
in turn, can support up to 28 wireless handsets and 24
wired telephones. All of the Panasonic KX-T7000, 7200,
7300, 7400, 7600 and 7700 series proprietary telephones
work with the KX-TDA50 system. So, if you already own
a Panasonic system with one of these phone series it will
be inexpensive to upgrade to this system. And, while you
are upgrading, don’t forget that the KX-TDA50 can also
be easily upgraded to our multi-cell wireless telephones,
so it’s easy to keep on top of things in a busy working
environment.
Additionally, the KX-TDA50 has a small, compact design.
But that does not diminish its capabilities. A state-of-
the-art engineering design has enabled the production
of a small system that provides for a large amount of
features while taking up less room.
One of the great things about this system is that it
has an optional internal IP Gateway Card for VOIP
communications. By using the optional VOIP
connection you can connect to a Local Area Network
(LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN) at virtually no
cost to the user! The cost savings come from achieving
greater use of your fixed cost infrastructure and less use of
variable cost telephone lines.
The KX-TDA50 allows you to add a new level of
security to your business with the support of optional door
intercoms and electrical contacts that permit you to
control an electronic door strike or any other compatible
electric device through the telephone. Each door intercom
has its own distinctive ring and LCD display information
so you can easily identify which doorphone has been
activated. With the KX-TDA50 you can use up to 4 door-
phones and 4 contact closures.
A complete communications solution for
both small and medium-sized businesses.
System Overview

Integrating 2.4GHz Multi-Cell wireless
telephones with the KX-TDA50 means that
the benefits of your phone system
can now “follow” you where ever you are
on your premises.
Digitally enhanced wireless telephony allows voice and data
transmission via radio waves, within the range of up to 8 strategically
placed cell stations. As you move throughout the coverage area,
the system provides seamless communication by handing off the
call from cell station to cell station. It’s a low-cost and highly flexible
solution that keeps people connected whether they are in the
warehouse, in a showroom, in a home or just about anywhere
on site.

Panasonic has a range of headsets to help decrease discomfort and fatigue, for use with these telephones. If you already have a Panasonic
KX-TA or KX-TD telephone system, the KX-TDA50 will work with your existing telephones – making it an even less expensive solution to
upgrading your communications system.
The KX-TDA50 system is available with a full
range of digital proprietary telephones and
a DSS console. If 24 keys are not enough,
a simple 12-key add-on module (KX-T7603)
will provide the answer. It’s suitable for the
KX-T7636 and the KX-T7633. If you are
looking for an even larger DSS console,
the 60-key KX-T7640 is also available.
All proprietary telephones in the range
(including DSS console, 12-key add-on
module and USB port options) are available
in charcoal/black or white.
Easy To Use. Hard To Choose.

Creating a User Friendly Working Enviroment
Alphanumeric/LCD Display
By providing visual feedback, the user-friendly display makes
it easy to handle calls and perform other tasks. You can
use the display to view a variety of information or access
the Digital Hybrid IP PBX system’s many features. And, you
can also make calls by following the visual prompts shown
on the display.
The KX-T7636 proprietary phone features a 6-line, 24-char-
acter per line backlit LCD. This display allows you to list your
personal call log, alphabetical phone list or table of speed dial
numbers up on the screen and dial directly from it using one
of the soft keys next to the display. You can even program
system features via the user friendly LCD prompts.
Digital Extra Device Port (DXDP)
DXDP provides a cost-effective solution for adding a second
telephone without running a second telephone line. You can
connect KX-T7600 series telephones, analog telephones,
cordless telephones or any other single line device.
In addition, DXDP can be programmed with the same or a
different extension number. Both telephones can operate at
the same time allowing you to send a fax or an email while
you are on the telephone.
Flexible CO Line Buttons
The Central Office line buttons of each telephone in the system
can be individually programmed to suit the specific needs of
each of your employees. You can program CO line buttons
for Direct Station Selection (DSS), Busy Lamp Field (BLF),
automatic dialing or one-touch access to the feature used
most often. But, the most important thing to remember is
that each telephone can be custom tailored to each individual
employee’s needs to help achieve maximum efficiency.
Navigation Key
Panasonic 7600 Series display phones feature a naviga-
tor key for easy access and operation of both system and
personal speed dial lists, as well as, speaker and handset
volume controls.
Hands-Free Speakerphone
All of the KX-T7600 series telephones are equipped with
a duplex speakerphone providing convenient, hands-free
operation for making and receiving CO and intercom calls.
When Auto Answer is on, intercom calls are automatically
answered, allowing you to reply to the caller without touching
the telephone.
Adjustable
Offers a built-in, 4-stage angle adjustment for more flexibility
of location and use.

System Features
SD Card
Flexibility is the key with any telephone system. The system
software and local database information are stored perma-
nently on the removable Panasonic SD card. If for
some reason the system suffers a catastrophic
failure, you can be assured that all the important
information on your system can be easily loaded
back into the system from the SD card. In addition,
the SD card makes it a simple task to upgrade the
system with new features.
Programming and Maintenance
Panasonic TDA Certified Technicians have multiple password
protected access points to program the system and perform
maintenance. The system is equipped with a built-in RS232
and a USB port for onsite access and PC Programming. It can
also be set up so it can be accessed remotely via an optional
dial-up modem or through the Internet.
System Calling Features
Automatic Callback Busy (Camp On)
When making an intercom or CO call and the line is busy,
you can execute a callback. When the busy line becomes
free, the system will automatically alert the user that the busy
extension has become free. Once that line is picked up, the
system will automatically redial the line that was initially busy.
This is a great convenience for those who wish to continue other
projects instead of waiting around for a call to go through.
System Speed Dialing
The KX-TDA50 provides up to 1000 system speed dial
numbers (32 digits long for each) for all extension users. Both
the user and the system administrator can program system
speed dial numbers and names.
Additionally, some models in the KX-T7600 series, such as the
KX-T7636 and the KX-T7633 telephones, allow you to scroll
through the speed dial list, and simply hit the speakerphone
key to dial the number. This feature can be used for both
system and personal phone numbers.
Conferencing
The KX-TDA50 system allows the user to have multiple
conference calls from 3-party up to 8-party calls at the same
time. This feature can prove to be quite beneficial for those
who do a lot of conference calling within the same company.

Account Codes
Account codes can help manage your telephone expenses
by identifying incoming and outgoing external calls for
accounting and billing purposes. The system can be
programmed to force the use of an account code or not.
The account code is appended to the Station Message Detail
Recording (SMDR), which is very useful for billing back cli-
ents, or to simply keep a record of the time spent on the
telephone for a specific project.
Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
The KX-TDA50 allows an outside caller to access specific
system features without operator assistance, as if the caller
was using an extension in the system. The outside caller
can have direct access to the following features: single-digit
access to extensions, outside party calling, intercom calling
to an extension, modem (for remote system administration),
external paging (for TAFAS) and extension group. Additionally,
callers can be required to dial a security code to access
extensions or the system’s outside lines.
With the optional KX-TDA5191 2-Channel Message Card,
DISA also offers a built-in Auto Attendant. With the Auto
Attendant you can record a preprogrammed message for
incoming calls. This message would direct callers to press
a certain number for the extension they wish to reach. By
doing so, the Auto Attendant can route callers to their desired
location through answering a few preprogrammed questions.
This will save time for both the caller and those who would
otherwise have to direct call traffic.
Call Forwarding
There are four types of call forwarding – all calls, busy, no
answer and busy/no answer. With these four options your
calls can be forwarded whenever and however you like.
And, all four options can be established by dialing a code
or programming a feature key to forward your calls to a
specific destination. You can also forward group calls as well
as, internal and external calls that can be forwarded to an
internal extension or an external telephone number. Each call
can be forwarded up to four times.
Incoming intercom and transferred calls to your extension can
easily be forwarded to you outside the office. You can now
forward your calls to your cell phone, another location, or
even your home. Calls can reach you almost anywhere in the
world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Another great feature is
“follow-me” programming, which allows you to remotely set
Call Forwarding from another phone within your organization,
so calls to your extension will reach you while you roam.
Caller ID/Call Logging
Caller ID displays the incoming caller’s phone number, or
name and number (if provided by the local phone company),
when used with a Panasonic system display phone. Calls
that are answered or not answered that are directed to a
group or an individual extension can be logged, and the
total calls that can be logged are assignable through system
programming on a per extension basis. Logged calls can be
called back by going off-hook while viewing the display and
pushing the redial key. There are also up to 1000 programma-
ble entries of name and number for Caller ID service that can be
administered by either the user or the system programmer.

a group,
Calls can be directed to a specific individual,
a live attendant, an auto attendant,
voice mail or any combination.
Caller ID information can be modified. Generally, when a
call comes up on the Caller ID screen, it is listed with the
area code. However, when you want to redial that number
you may not need to dial the area code and therefore would
want to strip off the area code from the Caller ID log. You can
program personal bins for the logged information of each
caller and then set preferences for how you would like to
call that person back. For example, someone may always
call you from their cell phone, but prefer that you return their
call on their home phone. When the Caller ID information
is logged for that person you can direct it to dial their home
phone number every time it identifies their cell phone num-
ber.
Voice Mail Integration
The final step in designing your system to handle calls is
voice processing. Panasonic has numerous voice processing
models to choose from, each containing a built-in auto
attendant, interview service and voice mail. The KX-TDA50
features built-in software that digitally integrates with
Panasonic voice processing systems, providing a high-speed
communication path between the PBX system and the voice
processing system. This digital interface provides a variety of
innovative voice mail features such as:
• Live Call Screening
• Remote Live Call Screening
• Two-Way Record
• Two-Way Transfer
• Intercom Paging
• Direct Mailbox Access
• Auto Configuration
• Caller ID Routing
• Caller ID Name Announce
• Caller ID Personal Greeting
Voice Over IP
Telephone voice calls can be routed over your local (LAN)
or wide (WAN) area network that would otherwise just be
used for data, thereby reducing traffic on telephone lines
and reducing the overall cost when connecting systems and
locations together. The cost savings come from achieving
greater use of your fixed cost infrastructure and less use of
variable cost telephone lines.
To insure you are leveraging all of the advantages and
cost benefits of your network the system software can
automatically route calls to their destination using the least
expensive path.
