would like to ask about placing external loud
bell on 308 system, have it programed for lines
and station number, have an ATA2 on it but it still does not ring. i dont have a pin out on the
25pr station cable but if i remember right the
ext ringer normally punches down on violet brown,
i'm not really sure on a 308 system though. also
does the ringer have to be digital or analog, or
do i really need an ATA?? any help would be greatly appreciated by this old telephone man.
thank you.

it should be on the violet brown,what kind of ringer or bell do you have provide more details

The Vi/Br are only make contacts that operate when it rings and do not provide ringing current.You could hook and ordinary analog phone to the ATA and it would ring when calls come in. Or just buy an auxiliary ringer with its own power to hook up to the auxiliary contacts.

ok, and thanks for your help, am using a stinger,
ringer. think i will approach customer about a
single line analog phone out in the lube bay..
again thanks for the help and the pin-out, have
a merry xmas and happy new year. dinker.
