Connect a Bell as an extension to IP Ofiice

[borsen]

Hi!

As the tittle says.
How can I connect a regular bell to the IP Office 500v2 via the analog port?


Thanks.

Is this a trick question?...By plugging it/wiring it in

 

[borsen]

No it is not!

I am in europe, the bell works on 220V of electricity.
Do I need some sort of adapter or something, that will close the circuit (make the bell ring) when the extension is called?

I plan on notifying the bell extension when another extension receives a call.

How do I wire it in? I know how to wire it to the electricity.
But I don't know how to wire it in to the analog port of the IP Office!
Can you tell me in detail or point me to a tutorial somewhere?

Thanks.

Then it's not a regular bell as far as telephony goes, a standard bell is line powered not mains. So is the one you have designed for a telephone system? You will probably need to refer to the manual for it to see how it connects, as the telephony ones are usually fairly obvious

Big bells are mains powered.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

No it is not a telephony bell.

It's a regular electric bell, like so:

Can it be connected, somehow to the IP office?

Or do I need some special telephony bell?
In which case, where do I find one? Amazon UK (can I please get a link)?

I tried goggling, but couldn't find anything.

You need a relay that is activated by ring voltage. The ring will close contact for bell. It may be lower cost to simply get a bell designed for telephony.

Uh huh!

I looked on Amazon...will something like this do the job?

They're OK for a home/small office, anything larger/more background noise and they tend to be too quiet

Amazon has this:

Is it the same thing?

 

[hairlessupportmonkey]

sure looks like it.

What you need is a box, a Viking LDB-3 advanced loop detector and two ECE solid state relays part number ESR5102404000. I have used this setup to do exactly what you're asking for, in a call center they wanted a big sign to light up saying "calls in queue" when the queue was notifying an analogue port.
