Uniden Cordless with an ATA

[dowjonestt]

Installed a singline UNIDEN with ATA2 assigned ext-222 to it. Works just fine dial 9 works good and customer is ok with dialing feature codes.

The problem is this is in a warehouse and they want their office ext, 203 when ringing to also ring this ext-222 ( cordless )as well.

So I programmed ANSWER DN on ext. 222 to APPEAR & RING but the phone will not ring when ext, 203 rings. Answer DN works ok on the other system sets. This cordless rings ok when dialed direct.

Using R1T1. ANy suggestions?

You cannot assign an Answer DN to an ATA.

The trick/work around is to reverse the situation.

I am the warehouse dude at ext 203 and my cordless is 222.
In this case make the cordless 203 and the desk set 222, then put an Answer DN on the desk set of 222 to answer the cordless of 203.

That will work just fine. Thanks!

Any reason why an ATA will not allow Answer DN?

They just don't. But, curly gave you the correct workaround.
