Hook it up to an analog port/station.

Program the analog station with a bridged appearance of the digital station's first call appearance button.(in place of the call-appearnce button. (Hit F5 for help on that line))

Don't forget to turn on the bridged alerting "Yes" on the second page of the analog set.

Wire it out and when the digital station rings, the stobe will also alert or flash.

Remember though it will only alert for the first call appearance button. If the person is on the phone on that appearance, the alert will not alert a second call coming in.

You can set the digital phone to use the second appearance when dialing out.

You can also install a 100A analog adapter in the bottom of the 6416D+ and 6424D+ Sets and hook the analog strobe to it!

Hope this helps

I am trying to do a similar thing, but I would prefer to use message waiting voltage for the strobe so that it flashes until the message is picked up.

Traditionally, message waiting is similar to analog ring voltage, ~90VAC at 20Hz, except it is only half of the wave form. This makes a pulsating DC signal at 20Hz. I don't think that that Avaya's message waiting signal is the same as above.

There are strobes designed to flash on ring voltage that will also work with message waiting voltage, but I can't get our G3r 8.5 to do it. Does anyone know if there are parameters you can set to duplicate the normal, pulsating DC message signal?

TIA
