Quick Rls ID for M2008 & M2616 sets

[sharpjnj]

I have an Option 11 system running both 2616 and 2008 phones. I would like to purchase more Rls 2 phones. How can you quickly identify Rls 1 from Rls 2 phones? I have heard something about the jacks on the bottom facing the same way - or not??

Thanks in advance.

I believe that the manufacturers tag on the bottom actually says rel 1,2,3 etc. But this is from memory, don't have one in front of my right now.

The tag on the phone that sits on my desk does say Rev. #3 on it - however I have a few phones around here that seem to be missing tags or have been colored over. Also - I have located some used phones that are up for grabs and hoped I could easily tell what was what by the jack configuration.

sharpjnj you are correct.
On the Aries II sets the two jacks in the base are oriented the same way. So the tabs are on the same side.
Aries I sets the jacks opposite direction.

Thanks StanleySteamer. That was the answer I was looking for. Now I can look into a box of spares and tell one from another.

Thanks to all for your replies. Your expert help is invaluable!
