I have a client that has a auto body shop. They can't hear the phones ring. I would like to use a simple device to just hook up and have the amplified ring in the garage. How can I acomplish this?
Thank you guys in advance.
If there's an available analog station port, I'd just program it to ring on all lines and use a regular loud bell, like a Suttle
SE-171 .
Ed,
Thank you. I am only using 6 digital ports on the 509 where can I find the analog station port?
You can connect analog devices to any available station ports on Avaya Partner ACS equipment.
The station ports are combination, so they will support a Partner phone or an analog device, such as a loud bell.
Thank you all very much.... Much appreciated
why not just buy a loud ringer, and plug it into the AUX port on the phone, assuming you have 18D's. Heck you could put a splitter in at the jack and run one side to the bell and the other to the phone, then everytime that phone rang the bell or loud ringer would ring.
Be mindful that any mechanical loud bell you use should be "AC assisted" as the ring voltage on Partner won't drive it well. An electronic loud bell may serve your needs better.
we like to use a Viking PA2A and set it to loud ringing, it is also a nice easy paging system.

Yep,
If you need something more than the sound of a standand phone ringer then you need to hand it off to a third party device.
The SE-171 loud ringer uses the exact same coil/capacitor as one in an ITT 2500 set. I'm pretty sure that ITT (now Cortelco) actually still makes these for Suttle. Trust me, this is just the equivalent of a 2500 set. The loud volume comes from 3" gongs as opposed to the typical 1.5" gongs inside of a phone. With an REN of 1.0, it will be just fine.
Don't know about that Ed. The ring voltage is around 60 volts and I've not had much luck with electro-mechanical ringers. Loud electronic ringers will work fine as long as they are not powered by the ring voltage.

We have a bunch of viking loud ringers in a restaurant chain in the kitchen phone and the loud ringer is wired directly to the partners dial tone pair. Then we usually wire the power supply on the green and brown pairs, at the 66 blocks. That way you dont need power by the phone. It has an adjustable volume knob. It is very loud even in a busy kitchen.
