BCM50 - 1210IP Phone with external sounder/bell

[ableseaman]

Good Afternoon

We have recently installed a BCM 50 using a mixture of 1120e and 1210 IP handsets.

One of our extensions - 1210 handset - is located within a noisy area and they have complained that they can't hear the phone ringing.

Can anyone advise on a product that can be connected to the handset or BCM that will give a louder ring/visual indicator of the phone ringing?

Regards

Able

Easiest would be to take the phone apart and tie it's speaker lead to a small paging amp and speaker. Of course this will void the phone's warranty, but it will work really well as we have done it many times.
Just a note of caution that anything coming across the phone's speaker will now be amplified for everyone to hear - ringing, voice calls, paging, etc.
