Caller ID Card

Can I add this card to a 8X24 DR5 switch?

As long as it's in a trunk module. DR5 can only auto display CLID at one extension per line. Otherwise use F811 to see CLID before answering a line.

Someone told me to look for a Caller ID Module that connects to a digital port. Has anyone heard of this?

Yes, back in the day of 8X24, you could only get caller id by looping your lines through a caller id unit. The unit connects to a digital port thru screw terminals, then you have a 25pr amp cable that comes off the unit to a punch block. You just loop your Co lines thru this unit.

There is a company called Atlantel in Atlanta that usually stocks the older stuff.

I really don't think that the 8X24 will recognize a CID card in a trunk module.

I see these on e-bay from time to time. Best I remember it was called a CID-8 unit.

The number is M8

it is an M8, on the 616 it is a C6. They work great on the older units.
