Aux Ringer for a T7100

[Davids38]

We have a T7100 phone out on our production floor where it is extremely noisy. They have requested an aux ringer for the phone. When I contacted our vendor, they didn't have any ideas on what kind of ringer would work for it. We tried a Clarity WR100, but it wouldn't work and Clarity stated that their aux ringers work for analog phones, not digital phones. Could someone please point me to where I can purchase a ringer that would work for this phone?

Thank you!

I like these:

You can add a horn to them too if need even louder.

They hook up to your KSU using the AUX port then we assign the phone in the back to have AUx Ringer set to YES.

On the bottom of the phone is an extra port by the handset and the digital port, under the little flip out cover. I think it even has a picture of a speaker by it. it is where the headset port is on the bigger phones. I have put a line from that to a valcom self amplified speaker mounted on the wall or beam above the phone. this makes a verry loud ringer, and you can ajust it by ajusting the phone ringer volume. You need a small RJ11, handset cord size. its not called rj11 but looks like it, but smaller.

RJ14.

Curly's advice on Algo is your best bet.

I'm a little confused on curlycord's comment:
"They hook up to your KSU using the AUX port then we assign the phone in the back to have AUx Ringer set to YES."
Could you please explain this more?

I just read Algo in Curly's post, not all the way through. Algo also makes a device that attaches via RJ14 (handset clip) to the underside of an M7100. It is volume adjustable on the receiving and transmitting end to a speaker/horn, whatever. Very effective.

You do do both!

1. The BCM has an AUX jack on the front, you can wire up the ALGO ringer to this mini jack. Cable run from BCM to vacinty of shipper of course or use spare pair from existing jack.
You now have an Auxilliary ringer, next step is to program a device to ring on that AUX port and to do that you go into Capabilites of that warehouse DN and navigate to Auxilliary Ring and change it from N to Y.....now every time the phone rings the Algo ringer will ring.
Keep in mind you can only install one ringer to the AUX port so this would be dedicated to the shippers phone.

If you already have a ringer using the AUX port then you can wire up the ALGO ringer to the Headset jack under the phone but keep the Algo ringer at around 15 feet from the set.
If you need it farther than 15' or need it louser you can also add a self amplified horn to the Algo ringer.

You can go to algosoulutions.com and download the manual:

You may take Dewey's advice, forgot about a 7100 that has no headset jack.

that is correct, there is no headset jack, but there is a 3rd jack on the bottom for this application. here is a link to a user guide, you can see the 3rd jack in the middle. I think it has a picture of a speaker by in, instead of a headset. I have used it plenty of times.
