ATA-2 connected to an analog external ringer

[lazarus72]

I have a Norstar phone at a location where the users cannot hear the phone ring. I need to increase the ringing volume louder than the max on the phone. I could only find one external ringer that is compatible with Norstar phones but it's a little expensive. I was thinking instead of getting an ATA-2 and then connecting a cheap external ringer that works of analog. My problem is this : An ATA-2 uses a station port, can I change the DN that is given with the port to the same DN that is on the phone I need to ring louder? As I need the external ringer to trigger when the phone rings. Also, the Norstar phone has Answer DN's, will they also alert the external ringer? Any tips on how to program the ATA to meet my needs would be helpful. And if anybody also knows of any other external ringers that are compatible with Norstar. Thank you.

Here is one:

A proper ringer is cheaper than an ATA and a Ringer ontop of that, not needed.

Just hook it up to the AUX port on the KSU and program AUX Ring = YES on each set required.

As for ATA you cannot share DN's
ATA's cannot except Answer DN's so you would have to reverse engineer and make the ATA the persons DN and put an Answer DN key on their set for the ATA's DN.
It's a messy thing to do though.

Thx for the quick response. Yes, that was the ringer I came across, somewhere between $120 and $140, but I guess that's my only option. That ringer though looks like it's easily installed with a modular cable connected to the headset port, no need for an Aux port connection, correct?

As long as its no more than 15 feet from the phone but using the proper AUX port on the KSU is by far your best option.
Stop trying to cut corners!!! lol

You can do the ATA with a ringer and ANS DN. You can't put an ANS DN on an analog, but you can change the ATA DN to the that of the digital set and give the digital set a new DN. Then put an ANS DN on the digital set of the analog set. Because everyone knows the old DN thats what they'll dial. The digital set and the ATA will ring. Just make sure you change ANS DN type to extended.
