Hi! I was just wondering if anyone would care to give me a brief description of what the Iwatsu Omega IV 616 is and can do. As of now, I don't know anything about these systems, but I would like to work with them for a hobby. Thanks!

6 central office lines from your provider. 16 digital sets. LOts of features. No voicemail. I have probably 30 systems installed in 1983-1985 still in service and working great. Most common complaint was the buttons were small and men with big hands and ladies with long finger nails found them cumbersome. Or was it big men with long finger nails...nevermind.

Business Phone Systems

So then it's like a telephone/intercom system? Is it pretty hard to program? Can phones other than the 'satellite' phones be connected to the main unit and still function? Finally, a friend told me that since it's an off-brand, it probably won't work the best. What's your take on this?

Thanks a million!

Having been around for 30 years, Iwatsu is definately not an "off" brand....

I have three questions. How hard are these things to program? How does a person program the system? Finally, can phones other than the satellites be tied to the system?

1. Just like anything else, not hard if you know what you are doing.

2. Through the 1st port, & with a DSS console.

3. No, and those are called extensions, not satellites. The system uses proprietary phones which are the only ones that will work.

Thank you for all of your help. The answer to my last question has made me think of another. Does each Omega system come equipped with a DSS console? Would that be built into the main extension? Thanks again!

No

No

It is something that you have to purchase.

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with another question. Where can I find online manuals for this telephone system and/or the hard copies of volumes 1 & 2 installation and programming. I have found the latter two already, but for like $100 each. I would prefer to get them for free. Thanks!

Hi! I just thought I would let everyone know that I am getting the Iwatsu Omega IV 616 system for $35. This seems to be a good deal, because it includes about a dozen phones. It does not, however, appear to include the two manuals. I may need help programming, but I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!
