Loud ringer on digital sets

[randall5]

Greetings,

A guy I know does work in a large industrial manufacturing plant that has a Definity PBX. There is one section of the plant with 4 digital extensions, each of which has a call appearance of the other 3 phones. This way, when one phone rings, they all ring. (I am a Nortel guy, I don't know if this is the best way to set it up or not). They want to install a LOUD ringer so that when any one phone rings, the LOUD (did I say LOUD) ringer also rings. He says that they can get the programming done from the corporate office, but they do not know the correct setup. My thought would be an analog port which has some type of call appearance or coverage of the digital extension(s) and then a bell or horn or some such thing. Am I way off target? What type of programming should be done? Any help is appreciated.

your on the right track with the analog to horn solution. on the net you can find a slew of amplified horns for phones.

Thanks for the replies. I am familiar with the horns and can find the right product. I am unfamiliar with the program settings that need to be changed. It is a strange one. They have a tip/ring guy who moves crosswire and does some programming. They also get some programming from the corporate office (how much I don't know). They asked us to get the horn and install it, but I think they do not know how to set it up. So, I am wondering what I can tell them to program to make it work. Does that make sense?

You can them build a coverage answer group. Add an analog station with a coverage path that points to the cov. ans. group. You would then wire tip/ring of the analog port to the corresponding pairs on the horn.

Once the analog number rang, the horn would ring along with the digital phones.

Thanks,

98Converter has you in the right direction. Have them build this up by using this command in the switch. "add coverage answer-group n" The n will be whatever the next unused group number is. The next command would be "add cover path n". use the coverage answer group number as the first point of cover. It should look like (C1)or whatever your group number is. Then build the analog set and hook up your horn to it.

That should get it going for you.

Awesome. Thanks. I'll let you know how it works.
