Ringing is assigned in system programming, very little chance it was changed by mistake. If Do-Not-Disturb was turned on, that could make a phone stop ringing. If it's just one line on a phone, maybe the system got put in night mode by mistake and night programming isn't identical to day ring. If you have direct access to the phone line check it for dial tone. Often virtual lines are used and you can't check for direct dial tone. On very rare occasion the ringer stops working, which can't be fixed.
If the Comcast people changed the equipment in the phone room they probably ran direct lines to each phone or put filters in the lines. The reason you're not seeing the lines light up is the phones are not wired correctly now. The cable box that all of your lines are coming from must have a 1 to multiple line adaptor for each line. The adaptor feeds all of the phones. Communication for the intercom and the line in use lights goes down the phone lines so ther has to be a direct connection between all of the phones. If there are filters in the lines they must be put between the cable box and the line splitter. You can get the line splitters at Radio Shack (Model 279-435 for 1 to 3 adaptor).
It could be a simple as the phone has call forwarding to another extension set up on it or the direct line could also be programmed on the other set. Does the screen on the non- ringing m7208 display "forward to:xxx" or does it display the current day and time?
Ok, gotca.... no ringing at your set, as the title states.
First you need to know the extension of the phone that you want to change. Feature 0 at the phone and hit the intercom key to ensure that we are programming the right phone.
To get into programming press:
-> FEATURE 2 6 6 3 4 4 -> Password: 2 6 6 3 4 4 Now you will have to look at your LCD for 3 arrows <- Heading..Enter-> <- Back .......Next-> -> you will now see TERMINALS&SETS and press Enter (the top right arrow key) now put in the extn that you want to change. -> you should now see the extension number of the set and the name that is associated with it, press Enter (the top right arrow key) again -> now you will see LINE ACCESS and press Enter (the top right arrow) again then LINE ASSIGNMENT and hit Enter again -> then you will see Show line:____ and hit Scan the scan button
-> it will show something like L002: Appr&Ring now press CHANGE till it says Unassigned
-> keep hitting Scan till all the lines are found, DO NOT REMOVE ANY NUMBERS ABOVE 145, as these are your target lines for your Direct phone numbers (these numbers above 145 may not be there, but just incase)
-> after you find all the Lines, you now hit RLS to back out of programming.
Voila, your phone will not ring anymore except when you receive a direct call to your set -or- via your direct number if you have one.
you put the paper face up, type the number and then press start, the phone line needs to be in the line connection and the other side in the wall plug, you need to see if you are using a direct phone line or if it is going through something on the way, other than that it is a very easy fax to use
