The modules were actually the IC numbers? That way, typical home daisy chain wiring was no problemo. If that's the one, I think Mitel tried to recall them, problems with the station modules, as I recall. John C. (Not Garand)

It worked great, easy to install, and to my knowledge is still being used some 20+ years later. I have lots of Mennonite customers and it[s perfect for their application on their farms. I connect all of their greenhouses, house, shops, and barns for intercom and transferring calls. The SX5 was cheap and would buy as many as I could get my hands on. Problem is I cannot find them anywhere. Please keep me in mind if something does show up. Thanks, Al Dukes

Yabbut your OPX extensons are only fed with 24 volts. Outside of that, the box is smaller, it can grow larger, and it is easily programmed.
I keep the 5 because I have a 10, Super 10 and 200 in inventory and the trunk cards are compatible with the 10's.
Just a thought.
Carl
