Yealink T46U external ringer
-
In a warehouse setting, these phones just don’t seem to have enough ringer to be heard.
Without having to add IP device, could you add an external ringer via the USB port?

@gjacobse we do not carry one and checking with Yealink they don't have one.

You could probably do something with the external busy light that Yealink sells, but no direct external ringer. It flashes when ringing and solid lit when on a call. So may not help.

No matter what you are going to have to buy something to make noise, so why hack something together instead of simply purchasing a device designed for it?

Oh - Not trying to "hack" anything together. The phone has TWO USB ports and was curious if they could be used for this,.. other than the USB headset, USB Wireless, or USB Phone charger. Yes, there are VoIP ringers,.. and YES I have looked at them. And NO I'm not terribly concerned over a budget issues. Simply curious if there are other ways to accomplish the task.
I mean - I "HACKED" together a solution to play music over the PA system,.. iHeartRadio from a laptop streaming the local stations. But I had heavy concerns over License issues,.. So we now subscribe to Pandora Business and I schedule genre changes during the day. We PAID for it over risky "hack jobs"..

Definitely not in the USB port.

I think what you want is a completely external device. That's how this is normally handled. Meaning it's common to have a dialer / ringer on a computer but you answer the phone. Same thing could be done to make a loudhorn blast anything you want as well.
