Telephone ring generator / Nortel Venture issue

[TOM BLACKWELL]

Is a telephone ring generator available, that would let me plug in an answering
machine and ring it to make it answer? I would also need to connect an ordinary
telephone to send touch tones to control the features of the answering machine,
to record messages remotely, etc.

Nortel Venture phones are nice, but won't let us check messages left on an
integrated answering machine from an extension phone. I want to send a ring
signal on an unused phone line connection to hear messages left on the answering
machine.

You'll need a little more than a ring generator otherwise it'll keep ringing even after it's answered. A line simulator might do the trick but can't you get an analog station port for the Venture? That would solve your problem without having to kludge something/

An analog station port? I asked the Nortel people about this several years ago,
and their answer was No. Do you know of anything made by another manufacturer?

The Panasonic KXTD-1232 (and other models) is a hybrid. Analog on
pair one and digital on pair two of any port. Assuming you set it up
this way, a digital phone might be connected to ext. 110 while the
answering machine will be on 210. You can call 210 using the intercom
feature and you can direct incoming calls there.

The only add on box for the Venture does not handle this function. (It adds
music on hold, a door intercom, a printer port, etc.) I just need to ring the
telephone, even if it means manually operating the ring voltage with a momentary
contact switch. Then I need voltage on the line that will power a touch tone
connection to operate the phone remotely - to let me talk to the answering
machine and enter the touch tones.

Are you talking about accessing an integrated (Nortel) voicemail system
or an external analog answering machine? If the latter, you could put
the machine on an incoming line at a point prior to the Nortel.

It's the Nortel Venture, KSUless system.
