I've installed some Samsung, Toshiba, Nortel and a lot of NEC phone systems. There are two types of phones that will work with these systems. Digital and analog. An analog phone can be plugged into a phone jack at your house and should work. If the phone is not working then it's probably a digital phone. A digital phone has to connect to a KSU or a main control box like the Strata cabinet you have. I think that was pic 16 in your Motherload thread. The KSU's have card slots that will hold the circuit boards. There will be different types of boards that will connect to your digital and analog phones and also your analog trunks plus there will be a main control board or CPU. Most new systems only require 2 wires to operate the phones but some of the older systems like you have require 4 and 6 wire connections from the phone jack back to the KSU. From the pics I viewed in your other thread I'm not sure if you have enough of the right parts to put together a complete phone system. If you can find one I would start by trying to download an installation and programming manual. They will show how to make all of the necessary connection and also how to program it.
