M2616 auxilliary interfaces

[cilcomm]

Are there any interfaces out there for the M2616 sets to allow the connection of a visual flasher or loud ringer directly to the digital set? Is there also a unit that can allow the connection of a TTY for the hearing impaired?

 

[cilcomm]

I saw the the 2616 can use the meridian analog terminal adaptor. Is this part still being made? I would loke to use one in a 2616 to allow the connection of a loud ringer or visual alert and allow connection of a direct connect TTY at a scholl for the deaf.

any info is welcome and any guides to documention would be great.

Install an external alerter board (A0389401) which will provide a contact closure at ringing. Nortel used to sell a little desktop light you could connect, but have a relay and a power supply and you can connect anything you want.

I am not sure how your setup will exactly be, but I used a setup where I had an external alerter (can't remember the brand) but it was connected to an analouge port with the same number programmed to it. I used it on a receiving dock. It required 110 voltage for the actual lamp. Otherwise it had a 4 conducter line cord that connected to the jack where the line terminated.

Analogue line? I wonder why? interesting. Are you sure you are actually using the external alerter or just the analogue port's ringing voltage?

I forgot to mention that the alerter I used also had a variable audible alert as well. Not sure how it was wired but I could not get the lamp to light unless I plugged it in.

The lamp probably had a relay built in actuated either by ringing voltage or a closing pair.

Have had bells and Klaxon horns that work in this manner. Klaxon horn makes a great ringer. Put it over a guard shack out in a steel erector field once. Kep the guard awake.

for different types of strobes. Look at the Aux Box line which serves all kinds of applications. I have it connected to my phone. First relay used for strobes on ring and second relay for light that shows I'm on the phone.
