BST Door PhoneBack Light

[dowjonestt]

Interesting questions:

The BST door phone says the button lights up. I am installing one for the first time.

If the button lights up my question is why does the sets not have a back light on the displays on for example the 7310's and 7316's?

Thanks

I understand. So I then add for examp. HG 290 as an Answer DN for examp. ext 201. Now will it allow me to have it just RING ONLY and not use up a button?

Also, will this Hunt feature only go from set to set or will it ring all assigned sets at the same time?

BTW the button on the Door Phone lights up a very faint red color at night.

Answer DNs will use a button, no way around it.

I recall on an Rt T1 MICS I was able to have an option to RING ONLY. This system I am on is I believe 7.x. Ring Only does not seem to be an option.

I thought that the purpose to a HG was to allow the sets to Ring Only and not use up a button.

I am confused.

when you take the HG route you don't need to add answer keys the HG DN is what will ring your sets(yes it can be ring only)if your HG is 290 then you'll add members to it ie 201 etc. and when it states broadcast that means that it will ring all sets at the same time...

I understand. Sounds simple. I will try it later today.

Thanks!

have not set this up yet. I am hoping to get to it tonight. BTW have you ever had a client try to stiff you for an installation or work done?

If so how did you handle it?

Set it up and it works great. I can not however get the door phone to ring past 3 rings and default to the paging system.

I wanted to let the sets ring 5 to 7 times then access the paging system with that special alert tone. If I set it for more than 3 rings the sets just keep ringing and ringing in what looks like a loop. They never stop and the paging system does not signal with that special alert tone like when I set the rings for 3.
