We have a remote warehouse that has 2 4602 IP phones connected via T1, it is a large warehouse and the phones are located in offices making it impossible to hear incoming calls unless you are near the office. We are looking for some type of external ringer that would allow us a way to broadcast the incoming ring into the warehouse. Any ideas / recommendations?
 
Try running phonemanager on a PC and output the PC's sound to an amplifier and speakers to hear the ringer!
 
What you need is a ring detection unit(we use them for digital keysets).
A small microphone is attached to the phone and when it rings it sets off the bigger bell/light that is attached to the RDU.
 
This sounds crazy, but we have actually broken open a 4602 and tapped into the speaker wires with a radio shack amplifier and connected it to an external speaker.
Worked Great!
