Hi
I found a manual for your phone here;
http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/TELECOM-S-Z/Samsung%20Prostar%20816%20Plus%20System%20Admin%20-%20Specia.%20Features%20Guide.pdf
and it would appear (page 2) that your phone / zone is operating in "Night Service Operation" which presumably mutes the ringing tone.
You can download this file (pdf format) to your computer for future reference.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

The battery is dead and will not maintain system programing after a power outage. If the battery is not replaced this problem will occur everytime the power goes out.

To change the ringing on a prostar 816 you first need to be at a display set (doesn't matter what the extension number is).
with the handset down enter #20 the screen should say MMC DISABLED
1) enter in 1 2 3 4 1 # (that enables programming)
2) enter in #62 the screen should say day ring assn
3) press the line you wish to program
4) press the buttons for the extensions that you wish to ring (the ones in the right next to the handset)
5) press # when finished with the line
6) repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remainder of the lines you wish to change
The code for hold recall is #52
enter in your hold recall time in sec. and in a 3 digit format. i.e. 30 seconds = 030 a minute and a half is 090 and so on.
press # when finished

it sounds like the memory battery on the main board is no longer working which means that it'll happen again.

SOURCE: samsung prostar 816 plus system ringing problem

sounds like your having a couple of problems at the same time. the lines only ringing at station 1 is the default setting of the system my guess is that the time and date are also way off if thats the case.
To change the ringing on a prostar 816 you first need to be at a display set (doesn't matter what the extension number is).
with the handset down enter #20 the screen should say MMC DISABLED
1) enter in 1 2 3 4 1 # (that enables programming)
2) enter in #62 the screen should say day ring assn
3) press the line you wish to program
4) press the buttons for the extensions that you wish to ring (the ones in the right next to the handset)
5) press # when finished with the line
6) repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remainder of the lines you wish to change
press #when finished.

next, the problem with the cordless not working has to do with the port programming, in default it assigns all ports as multiline sets.
To assign a SLT(single line telephone) port to the system while still in program mode dial #38 the screen should say slt dial type and then 16 0's.
0 = keyset 1=slt set
enter in all 16 digits followed by the # i.e.if your cordless is on port 7 it would look like 0000001000000000 #
lastly the phone that can no lnger recieve calls sounds like the do not disturb or DND has been pressed to stop the alarm from ringing. press the mute/dnd button (light should be off). to cancel an alarm press the ALM/SD button twice and then the hold button.
hope that helps out.

My Prostar 816 will not ring. The lines will light up and flash when there is an incoming call, but I have no ringing sound. How do I get my telephone to "ring"? Thank you!

Phone will not ring for incoming calls, the little light just blinks when someone is trying to call and ringer volume is all the way up

This sounds like the extension has not been put into the ring group, as it is the pick-up key which is flashing on your prostar 816. you need to enter customer level programming and find out in MMC 714 which group is set up to ring and the go to MMC 601 and add the extention to the correct group under the members section. I know this sounds complicated but I have posted a video of which there are more to help you with the prostar 816 on YouTube search abbeytel, Or visit www.abbeytelcom.com.

My LCD Prostar 816 shows the Speaker light flashing rapidly. When I click on it, it takes me to an Internal Page screen. I can clear out of that, but I get the flashing Speaker light again. This happened...

Aflashinf speaker key indicates that the phone is fowarded.It's either call foward all calls or call foward on busy.
To cancel call forward all calls, press #11 (with the handset in the cradle), then press your own dss button or dial you own extension number (21-36), and press #.
Canceling call foward on busy uses the same steps but uses #12 instead of #11 for the first step.

Have just bought a used samsung prostar 816 stc phone, but can't

Possibly, does the system shut the line down or does it just doesn't break dial tone?

Some of the buttons don't work and the Hold function doesn't work

The Prostar 816 phone system can only use Prostar 816 phones. There is a rare larger Prostar system that can use other Prostar phones along with the 816 but typically was only installed in situations where more than 16 phones were needed. If you are looking at non-prostar phones like the Samsung DCS 12 then they certainly will not work.
