I have gone brain dead on how to make a ringer ring when the main phone rings apparently...I have a 5330e, ext 3xxx, and I want to add a ringer (SIP ext 9xxx) to ring when the kitchen phone rings.

I don't seem to be able to add the ringer as a key on his phone as a multicall or single line key with "ring" defined, so I am thinking about a personal ring group. It has been years since I worked with personal ring groups and I was thinking that I could build the group with the 3xxx extension number as the group number and then add the ringer as a member, but it tells me the 3xxx is defined elsewhere.

What is the best method to make the ringer ring when the 5330 phone rings?

Thanks, Jim

If it won't let you add the main extension as a PRG, then it already exists as either a PRG or a Multi-device Group. Search for it, and add the ringer to the PRG/MDUG.
 
Ah...of course! All the extensions are built as Multi devices and are owners of Multi-Device groups. I never thought about adding members to them.

Thanks, Jim
