Yes. You'll need a M8 caller ID unit, which is shaped like an old ATA. It has an amphenol connector, the first 8 pairs of which are bridged to the first 8 lines coming into the 824. It also has 2 screw terminals which are connected to an available station port. CLID can only be automatically displayed at one extension. Others will have to use F811 to see CLID before answering a call. The CLID info is passed on with transferred calls. These M8 units are pretty tough to find. Good luck.

Don't think the C6 will work on a 824, but the M8 will work on either a 824 or a 616 w/DR5.

It would be interesting to find out if the C6 hasn't worked because of 3 digit dialing.

Yes it would. I did check the Norstar Handbook and the C6 is not compatible with the 824, but the M8 is compatible with 824 & 616.
