@@aarondunn1489 For a starter PBX, I’d recommend this, but in the future you’d definitely might want a new one. This one after a while may drive you crazy, or it might not, based on your actual needs.
@@aarondunn1489 I'm honestly not sure either. You may well have to see if there's anyone getting rid of a PBX that you can get for cheap or free, in that case. That's what I hope to do for getting a bigger one someday.
Happy Halloween! By the way, the lights have a protective film over that section, if you want to remove it. They're bright enough as they are, though. Do you know what type of Caller ID this thing outputs? I got mine from Rod Ardvn Electrics, and he also gave me a CID adapter for it since it doesn't supply the North American standard CID. I guess yours does, since my AT&T AWX22104, a similar phone to your EL51103, doesn't get anything from it without the adapter. That is bizarre how it doesn't default to 9 being the exiting code. Oh, I just remembered, did you try plugging in the phone line itself to one of those line jacks on it? If it doesn't detect any line, it might not let you dial 9, and on mine, you have to specifically program it to not alternate between using line 1 and (in my case, a non-existent) line 2. Nice video. Cool that you got something for a testing setup this early on in your channel.
@@Classic_Electrics I saw that you, Hunter Schober, SebTheWPhone, and That Electrics Guy all had this and I decided to try it out for myself. I’ve tried looking up how to program the dial out function to 9, but haven’t gotten any luck from Google or even the instruction manual. I have no clue on what kind of caller ID this system gives. I guess both my EL51303 (because that is a 3 handset model), and my CS5229-2 lucked out on that. I didn’t even know that there’s different versions of Caller ID. LOL. Also Happy Spooky Day to you too.
@@JimsElectrics-w4q Yeah, it's not bad for what it is! But I do still really want an Avaya Partner ACS R7 or R8. As the Rod himself suggested, you may need to program it to enable dialing out. And you may need to plug in the line into the right line jack for it to register that there's a line. Well, there you go, I guess! If you ordered it new on Amazon, and you're in the US, it might well be giving North American standard CID after all. Thanks.
@@JimsElectrics-w4q The manual is the worst waste of paper and network resources I’ve ever seen to life if you want me to be honest. It’s poorly translated. Information is hard to be found on it.
I like it
Great video the Jim! I may also have a PBX soon.
@@aarondunn1489 Thanks for watching, the Aaron. And if you want to get yourself a PBX, go right ahead.

@@RodArdvnElectrics I am going to get a less expensive PBX though. Not sure what it the is.

@@JimsElectrics-w4qHello Jim, I believe that you have to enable the C.O Line first.

Did you try every other key to get the outside line?
It seems that he has to enable the outside line. The manual is garbage though.
@@RodArdvnElectrics The manual is garbage. And I’ve tried finding all of that information. 😅
