Any PABX experts here?
Discussion
I have a "Freebox" here which is an ADSL box which does internet but also the telephone line (we did a "degroupage total" and opted out of France telecom). So all our calls pass by this Freebox.
The only trouble is when you connect more than one phone (with a multi adapter) they don't ring anymore.
So I bought this SOHO PABX exchange and 5 office phones and hooked them up to my comms network:


It all works beautifully. The phones show the date and time and I didn't even program these in, so god knows how it does that.
The only problem is that the phone on extension two rings when its clock shows 00.00 which wakes everyone up.
There is no mention of an alarm in the PABX or the telephones manuals so I'm stumped.
Anybody have any ideas?

however, it does sound like a fault with the phone, and not the box? have you tried playing with the settings of the phone? (time/ date/ call reminder etc.)
nothing is listed to show the soho pabx has an alarm feature......
That's what I thought, no amarm facility on the PABX. I'll try playing with the phone but the manual is frankly worthless...nothing is listed to show the soho pabx has an alarm feature......

do you have the make/ model of your phone?
I have 30mins to kill, and the last hour has dragged somewhat
Ah dammit, just too late! Nevermind, I've put the PABx to default factory but I've also found there's an alarm function the phones so will try that.I have 30mins to kill, and the last hour has dragged somewhat

One question: On the phones there is a little LED with "HF" next to it. This LED lights up from time to time but I can't can't see what it indicates.
Any idea?
BTW the phones are no-name brand "Sonsy" TEL20's
