I was thinking about adding intercom, since I am only using 1 line button on each of the keysets. I'm using 3 out of the 4 line card slots right now in my 551B KSU. What all would I need to accomplish this? Jeff Jeff Moss Moss Communications Computer Repair-Networking-Cabling MBSWWYPBX, JGAE

You would use buttons and buzzers to signal the stations. If you have just a few stations, you could convert the unused line keys in the sets for momentary signaling. If you want more fun, add a Teltone R10 or R19 (R as in rotary) a T10 or T19 (T as in tone) or a C19 (C as in combination) outboard dial selective intercom. Here's one for the right price and no shipping! Buy it now! T-10 These provide one common talking path and selective signaling via the dial. You can use the 28-type power unit that's already in the shoebox to power them. You would need a short piece of 25-pair cable with a female amphenol, and a separate 66M50 block on which to terminate it. The wiring is simple, even for an IT guy like you. (Sorry, couldn't resist) The convention is to use the Y/O pair for the buzzer in each phone. Use the 18 Vac supply for the buzzers. If they are too loud, use the 10 Vac tap. You can also use Uncle Arthur's Patented Really Cool Sounding Buzzer Method, and put a diode in series with the buzzer supply. That makes the buzzers burp instead of buzz. Arthur P.

A few years back, I rigged a doorbell button at the top of the stairs to light the 6th button on my keyset and sound the buzzer. I used a separate power supply, though.

I can send you a 401, if that's the way you want to do it. The dial selective way is more funner, though. And actually takes less wiring, in the long run. Arthur P.

You could also use the dial intercom to access a PA system. What! You don't have a PA system in the house? How about a Spokesman or Orator? Use one (or more) of them as mini PA systems.
