came out to about $15...with 6 hands-free phones...I am thinking of
installing it in my 3 floor house...I have 6 clean hand-free phones, the
ksu, io cable for stations... I have the manuals for the phones but not
for the ksu. I wired up one phone with the ksu and everything seems to
work...I suppose the KSU has some default settings...but I really wanna
get my hands on the KSU manual...ksu has dip switches with PROGRAM next
to them...anybody ever work with one of these or have the KSU
manual?
I can check at my office and see if we have a manual for that KSU in our
library. I know the Trillium name but the model doesn't sound familiar at
all to me.
...Anybody got one of these pbx's in a house and
wanna gimmie
pointers for setup/install?
Of course you'll want to wire everything in s star configuration, much
like a 10baseT network. Go out to your local Graybar (big telephone and
electrical supply place) and get yourself a punchdown block (and get a
punchdown tool while you're at it). This is what you'll want to connect
all your "homeruns" to, and then cross connect over to your PBX ports.
You'll also want to take your telco lines and punch them down on the
block, and then cross connect to the telco ports on the phone system (this
will allow any phone to grab one of however many lines you have).
E-mail me offline if you need more tips. It's all pretty basic though.
