You may be able to boost the battery voltage with a simple dc adapter in series to get the line build out capability you need. Just make sure its floating with respect to ground and wire it in. Don't be afraid of hurting the phone, you won't. Check out dialplans for the ATA's for warmline and hotline for emergency phones you will probably want this. This is one I use for example warm dial - wait 3 sec and if not 3 digit number dial 100 ( P3 <:100>|xxx ) ie: if they know who they want locally on the pbx they have 3 seconds to dial it, otherwise the ata just dials extension 100 which is an entrypoint to one of the IVR trees on my system. > Appreciate all your input folks.
