RE: DECT Ringer Madness

["Richard" <rich_lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

`Your not going to find it I am afraid, nowhere else in the world uses
a
third wire for ringer, and its not viable to make a special model for the
UK
which will then be "broken" when taken to anywhere else.



Here in NZ they made it a telepermit requirement many years ago that phones
do not use the ringer wire, but still there are people that end up with
non-ringers when they get adsl installed and the wiring gets changed out
for
2 wire or they use plugin filters.



If you want to kill the ringer in a phone, put a bridge rectifier inline
with the circuit - that will make it not have the AC component so it may
cause it to not detect a ring.



Otherwise install asterisk and get an ATA so you can schedule your incoming
calls etc.

Just tried a BT Synergy (few years old)

It also ignore the fact there is no ringer circuit and rings anyway.

Suppose what I need is a DECT base that can turn off tis 'feature'...
anyone ?

If I remember this stuff correctly.... (based on some googling I did 6
months ago when re-wiring my phone cabling)

I think the 3-rd wire bell signal is an unusual arrangement - used in the
UK, but not a lot of other places.
The cabling in from the openreach network is only 2 wires, the bell wire
is
added at the NTE5.

Phones designed specifically for the UK will expect ring signal on the
bell
wire, whereas plugging in phones not specifically designed for the UK are
likely to ingnore the bell wire & ring based on the 2 signal wires.

I'd guess your dect phone is not specifically UK designed, or maybe
there's
a config setting buried somewhere in the menus. How come the cheap ones
behave properly? Perhaps a small UK-specific manufacturer or older design
"bought" from another manufacturer or the electrics/electronics
of using
the
3rd wire bell may just be cheaper to make.

Can't see any easy solution to your problem though, other than using
something other than the panasonic as the ringer...
