Normally it's Arfur that's the first one to go off in an irrelevant direction.......

whats irrelavnt ? if its BroadBand then all this talk of bell ringers and terminal3 is a red herring

or did you think BB was engineer code for something mysterious and alarmy? LOL

whats irrelavnt

The clue is in post#4 where the OP specifically asks about phones.

not in the title then ? you know BALANCED system as you should know a voice only phone system is anything but balanced

Not really as he didn't define balanced so we don't know. Here's one explanation:

What is meant by the term "Electrically Balanced"?

A simple open wire circuit consisting of two wires is considered to be a uniform, balanced transmission line. A uniform transmission line is one which has substantially identical electrical properties throughout its length, while a balanced transmission line is one whose two conductors are electrically alike and symmetrical with respect to ground and other nearby conductors.*

not with the bell ring connected

How's he going to do that? Read from the start. (2 separate lines down a 4-core cable)

Hence the various comments about modern/DECT powered phones etc. not needing a separate ring signal.

Hi alan what sort of problems do the new phones have when they are connected by master socket and not secondary I thought they got the bell voltage from master socket The reason I ask is that I have had problems with some Dect phones being very quiet not bt ones but the smooth looking ones! you see all that glistens is not gold

Do you know any problems with putting all the signals down one back bone cable?

on some phones if you don't have the BC connected they won't ring, but these are the minority.

running PABX and exchange lines on the same multi core is frowned on, the lones should come to master sockets, the from that to your pabx. this allows BT to dissconnect you kit for testing to see if the fault is BT or Your side.

running to a socket and back again on the same cable is also bad news. you can end up with cross talk, so either you hear other conversations or others hear yours.

it's simple really, just do it right in the 1st place

if your stuffed for getting an extension exactely where you need it simply use a dect radio phone.
