External Ring Light on M2616

[MunchBob]

Is there any way to have an external light flash on ring on M2616s? We have an EOC (Emergency Ops Center) that is requesting this. I know it can be done by building an analog circuit on the line. Can it be done on just a digital circuit?

Why is the analog not an option? Simple connection to a relay and then a nice big light or bell or whatever will notify them everytime.

I'd also go with the analog, but sometimes you need something on digital: There will be one here:

We're short on cble pairs in that area and trying to conserve.

Thanks for the link to AlgoSolutions. I'll look into those products.

GHTROUT and Johnthephoneguy, thank you much for your quick responses!

Use an older model M2616 , not the aries II . you need to add a daughter board for M2616 for a relay to short whenever the phone rings. This uses the second pair of the rj11 input. The 2nd pair on the jack goes to the Algo duet plus normally open relay. The flasher is connected to the Algo device.
