About The Panasonic KX-TDA100 & KX-TDA200
February 22, 2010
The design of the KX-TDA100 and KX-TDA200 allows your business to expand your system as your needs grow. You can plug in additional cards and telephones to the plug-in architecture. All of the expansion card slots are universal, so that any card can be plugged into any universal slot, efficiently using what’s available within the cabinet. What’s even better is the KX-TDA expansion cards operate on both the KX-TDA100 and KX-TDA200 systems. That means that if you outgrow the KX-TD100 system, you can unplug the expansion cards and plug them directly into the KX-TDA200 without having to buy a whole new system. In terms of maximum system capabilities the KX-TDA100 can offer up to 96 ports and the KX-TDA200 can offer up to 192 ports with 128 wireless phones (KX-TD7690, KX-TD7680).
If you already own a Panasonic system with one of the Panasonic KX-7000, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7600 and 7700 phone series it will be inexpensive to upgrade to the KX-TDA system. All of the proprietary phones work with the KX-TDA100 and KX-TDA200 systems. And, while you are upgrading, don’t forget that the KX-TDA100 and KX-TDA200 can also be easily upgraded to the Panasonic multi-cell wireless telephones so it’s easy to keep on top of things in a busy working environment.

What Are the Differences Between CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, & CAT7?
February 19, 2010
The simple answer concerning the differences between cable is this:
CAT-5 is rated to 100M
CAT-5e is rated to 350M
CAT-6 and CAT6e is rated to 550M or 1000M depending on your source
CAT-7 is supposedly rated to 700M or presumably 1000M
Today there is no approved CAT-6 or CAT-7. While some folks are selling products they call Level 6 or 7, there aren’t even specs for them, making CAT-5e the best available option. CAT-6 cable is being made with 23 guage conductor wire as opposed to the slightly smaller 24 guage for CAT-5e and also has a separator to handle crosstalk better.
Both CAT-5 and CAT-5e have 100 ohm impedance and electrical characteristics supporting transmissions up to 100 MHz. The differences between CAT-5 and CAT-5e show in all aspects of performance: capacitance, frequency, resistance, attenuation, and NEXT. CAT-5e components were designed with high-speed gigabit Ethernet in mind. While CAT-5 components may function to some degree in a gigabit Ethernet, they perform below standard during high-data transfer scenarios. CAT-5e cables work with ATM and gigabit speed products. Simply, if you are using a 100Mbps switch, get CAT-5e cable instead of CAT-5.
CAT-5e is formally called ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A-5 or simply Cat-5e (the e stands for ‘enhanced’). CAT-5e is completely backward compatible with current CAT-5 equipment. The enhanced electrical performance of CAT-5e ensures that the cable will support applications that require additional bandwidth, such as gigabit Ethernet or analog video.
Whatever cable is right for you, make sure that the one putting in your cable is Allen Tel Certified. Only Allen Tel certified technicians can give you a warranty on your cable and work for 25 years. If you live or operate business within the Puget Sound Area of Washington State, Premiere Communications, Inc. meets and exceeds these qualifications. Cal today at 800-201-000.

Try The New Market Expansion Line Option
February 11, 2010
If your goal is to expand the area from which your customers can call you locally, you may want a market exchange line. This is very helpful if you want to test an areas interest before opening an actual branch in that location or have so much interest in a particular area that a toll free number does not make economical sense. Also, let’s say you have to move your office location or even plan to move your office into your home. A market expansion line can keep your original location’s office numbers and just forward the calls to your new location’s numbers without delay in the call process. So here is an option that is fairly new out there that you could consider. Try a VoIP Market Expansion Line. It is really pretty simple and affordable. Convert your old office lines into VoIP line numbers and have them forwarded to your new office numbers, or choose a VoIP line number that looks local and forward all the calls made to that line to your actual location’s numbers. Through Premiere Communication, Inc. you can get a deal on this product! We take your actual bill for what you curently pay with your current carrier and charge you HALF to do the same thing. Now tell me…is that not worth a call and a quick faxing of your current billing to our office for your free no obligation quote? Call us today with questions at 800-201-0000.
