It runs on Cat5. The paging/intercom/station monitoring all occurs over the power pair. (pin1&8)The power pair wouldn't go to * at all. It works seemlessly so far on a channel bank. As for the ATA-186, I am not familiar with the wiring of the ATA, but it seems that you could use a surface mount jack with 1 or 2 lines as needed. You'd just have to get pair 1&8 hooked up to the central power supply. It may be more trouble than its worth to you, but I mentioned it in response to your earlier post just because people always seem to be asking for these features regarless of the type of phone.
