[cisco-voip] Ringing Light Attachment for 79xx phones

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were asking for a large MWI light, not a light signalling when the phone was ringing. ooops.

That being said, I remember testing out a 'bedshaker' for our residence people here. Bascially, they would give this special alarm clock to those who are hard of hearing. It had inputs for telephone and for high volume noise (like fire alarms) and when triggered, would set the bed shaker going. Now I tell you, I couldn't hold this thing in my hand when it went off without making a milkshake out of my brain. I'm sure you could jurry rig something up so that you could attach it to the desk (or chair maybe with some work) so that the person would 'feel' the phone ring. Just like a Blackberry though, you can 'hear' it vibrate, so depending on where you place it, it might bother others in the room.

Look up 'bedshaker' on google and you will get tonnes of hits.

  you'll probably need an analog phone which has a shared line with the 79XXX phone to do this.

  some ideas:

    Hi All -

    Does anyone know of an aftermarket product that could plug into the back of the phone and light up when the phone is ringing? We have a user that is hard of hearing and this would be helpful. The VM light just isn't enough when it blinks.

    Thanks.

    Jesse
