Purchased the extension loud ringer and have tried plugging in to several different phone outlets along with a phone jack "splitter". Nothing works. Is there something else we need to do to get this to work?
Most external loud ringers are analog and your phone is digital. You would also need a digital to analog converter and use an additional digital extension to make it work.

To clarify, this is an external ringer used in industrial shop environment, not a separate extension.
Can anyone tell me if the phone itself needs to be programmed to allow an external ringer? Or is this something that must be set up with the phone company?
Maybe a bad splitter, you didn't mention make or model # of the ringer you purchased so its difficult to answer.Did they not come with instructions?
