Provisioning of Panasonic KX-NT553

[loomcomputer]

HI all!

we are going to change our "old" Panasonic System to 3CX - we have a couple of deskphones Panasonic KX-NT533, that we are trying to use with our new 3CX system.
But we have no idea how to provision those phones.
I asked the support of 3cx and they told us that it might be possible but is not supported at all, so we gave it a try today.
But all I can setup in the phone is an ip adress and an ipadress fro the pbx .. that's it < so no provisioning at all
Can please anyone here tell us or send some links for provisioning such phones?
We are complete noobs with this - so please ask further questions if you need more information

Thanks a lot!!

Stev

Hi,
from the information found on the internet I have strong doubts about the possibility of reusing panasonic phones on 3CX (or other standard SIP systems like FreePbx, Asterisk, ecc..). But assuming that they were recoverable, all the configuration of the phone would have to be done manually on the phone itself with the probable loss of several features (BLF, shared phonebook, etc.) and with the use of a large amount of time. I think that buying phones on the 3CX compatibility list is much more practical, functional and with a very short set-up time.

Hi Stev,

You are better off selling those phones, and replacing them with something from the below list.

We offer plug and play provisioning on the supported models, its very easy and friendly to use.

HI Claudio and JonhnS, thank you both for your answers!
We will do it like you said ... sell the phones and buy new ones which are newer and will work with 3CX ...
I personally needed only a second opinion,,, Thank YOU!!!

When the third line, on the cover of the of the manual, has the word "Proprietary", then you know not to even bother trying.
