 +**3**: I wasn'able to find solid information for P271x releases, thus far... One would assume they're newer, but the aforementioned thread shows P211x from -4 onwards, so I can't tell for sure, however, [several](https://forum-nortel-spb-ru.translate.goog/archive/forum-10-pbx/t-20338.html?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc) [threads](https://forum-nortel-spb-ru.translate.goog/archive/forum-10-pbx/t-9503.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc) mentions it as a fairly new thing, using 4.0x programming software, which is one of the newer ones, [that thread](https://forum-nortel-spb-ru.translate.goog/archive/forum-10-pbx/t-25177.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc) also goes into more detail, but since it supports PRI, I'm going to assume it's -6 (Version 6) level.

 +## Programming Software 
 + 
 +For KX-TD816/KX-TD1232 there are at least three programs I know of 
 +  * **Digital Super Hybrid System - Operating & Maintenance Tool (DSHSOMT)**, which was made for MS-DOS;  
 +  * **Panasonic Programmer for Dealers (PPD)**, written for 32-bit Windows;  
 +  * **KX-TD Programmator**, a third-party Russian system that some folks says [«will mess up your system.»](https://sundance-communications.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/583468/re-some-kx-td816-questions#Post583468).  
 + 
 +There are possibly more, but those are the main ones. They connect to the unit via serial port and are somewhat dependant on the firmware version  (the infamous Programmator, for example, probably messes some KSU's because it tries to change stuff in a way that's incompatible with certain firmware versions.)  
 + 
 +DSHSOMT is not easy to find, but you'll find it if you're so determined. Also probably holds true for PPD, but I wasn'able to track any version of it. Programmator is out there, but I didn't bother with it.  
 + 
 +### DSHSOMT 
 + 
 +This is the old dealer software (KX-A271), and like I mentioned before, it's old and runs on MS-DOS, FreeDOS or DOSBox, but at least it's official. The only way I was able to find it was by searching through Usenet and ending up at [this thread](https://www.usenetarchives.com/view.php?id=comp.dcom.telecom.tech&mid=PDExNDI2NTkyNzMuMTEyOTc2LjMwNDk4MEBpNDBnMjAwMGN3Yy5nb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29tPg) in which the guy asked for donations and got trolled to the ground. But one guy linked the URL to the dealer software, that was, thankfully [archived by Web Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20040814204044/http://download.panasonic.co.uk/bts/) (I love this tool.).  
 + 
 +I've also managed to track two more versions (3.41X and 4.02B2, respectively from circa 1998 and 2000, judging by the copyright notice.) to [a Russian abandonware website called . 
 + 
 +For convenience, I'm also providing those here.
