Just got my first DX-120. Nice sets. Looks pretty cool.

Yeah, they look pretty good, way better than before. This is something that (in looks anyway) could compete with most of the newer systems out there. Hey, and the addition of the T-1/PRI card and the port expansion option for the voice mail (from 4 up to 8 ports) this product becomes even more attractive. I especially like the up-grade potential since all of the old cards, voice mail, and phones will work on it.

I got one bid out for one with a PRI VM and 24 sets price comes in nice. I downloaded all the manuals and sales tools today. Hope to work on the traing program Friday. The compatibility is really nice.
Do you know why the part number & price guide says that you have to order handset cords and handsets directly from Comdial? Do they have some funky handset connection to the phone?

The handset plastics are proprietary. The handset cords are just your run of the mill charcoal color. Normal hookups.

Good. Thanks. I'm anxious to see how difficult the PRI is to set up. I've never done one. They are not prominent around here yet. Mostly the clec breaks out the dial tone from a fractional T-1

You will need an external CSU to go between the network interface and the ISDN PRI card. The programming looks pretty simple. Call if you need assistance with the setup.

An EXTERNAL CSU?? Really???!!! That adds a decent amount to the price, doesn't it? On the plus side, it gives the carrier something they can actually loop up!

ACE CSU is pretty inexpensive. But you're right about not having to educate carrier techs about different loop back methods.

Rest of the stuff looks pretty cool. Sold the first one today...first day out of the gate. Gotta like that.

Does it use the same programming interface? What FW version are they starting with?

How is that different from the DX80? They put in a CSU and break out dial tone that I connect as loop start lines? What purpose does the PRI Card serve if a CSU is still required? I'm confused.
