I think what he's referring to is really the KX-TD187... which is a T1 interface module for the Panasonic KX-TD1232 Digital Hybrid Phone System (I have one of these systems, but not the T1 module). Now there is a KX-TA1232 analog system, and maybe there was a KX-TA187 module for it that has since been discontinued... but I think he meant the digital one. http://www.ablecomm.com/t1isdideq.html They do SAY it doesn't have a CSU... but it's beyond my understanding of how it could possibly work without one. They seem to sell a separate "CSU module" that can go with it. Maybe he's just not seeing the extra little box because there's more wire between that and the demarc? Was this a system that was already installed for you? Or did you install it yourself? Maybe the CSU is external and you just didn't recognize/see it there? When I first started working with T1's, most CSU's were external. I still have several of them in storage in fact... and I still use external CSU/DSU's on my production network today. :-) I'm typing this message and it will be sent over a T1 connected to 2 external CSU's before it reaches the internet. Bottom line is, no matter what the FCC says... and if somehow you managed to get it to work without a CSU... I believe the phone company would have a fit if they knew you connected equipment to their network without a CSU on it. They're very big on standards-compliance and stuff like that. Sometime look into their rules and regs about colocating equipment inside one of their CO's... it's very very strict. -- Nick _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
