We have 4 Nortel Venture telephones in our home. There is not KSU for these, yet they are all connected together via single 2 pair phone wiring. Now I have them hooked up to the Ooma telo device.
We can make outgoing Ooma telelephone calls with any of these phones and the outgoing calls are perfect.
The problem comes in with an incoming call. When a call is received the phones all ring for a very brief moment and then stop and the line 1 button lights up. This repeats with each ring. the sound is a ring burst really, not a full ringing. And even more importantly CallerID never shows up on the Display. We are able to answer incoming calls by pickiing up the phone and depending on where in the ring cycle the call is picked up; either we connect or we have to push line 1 Button or * to join the call, etc.
Our Nortel phones function fine for OG calls when they are plugged into the PHONE Port on the back of the Ooma. Nothing works if I try plugging them into the "WALL" jack of the Ooma telo.
Is there something I could try to get a Long enough incoming ring and so CallerID functions for incoming calls?
