Connect a plain old telephone to the line and see if it rings.
Juat as important, how it rings..is it a traditional 2 seconds
of ring and 4 seconds of silence, or is it a double ring?

The TAD may have problems detecting a double ring.

The standard phone does not ring. It can dial out and pick up calls
manually. The ren values are 0.0 on the phones so i don't think it's
the ren. The system is set to immediate ring not delayed or distictive
ring.

I can't find any other settings to check ??

Also,

If I uplug the system the phone or answering machine will ring because
it's plugged into slot 10. Which is what it's supposed to do but it
will not ring when the system is on ?? Strange ?

Disconnect the answering machine and place a voltage meter across tip
and ring on that port and call it so it would be sending ring voltage if
it is working properly. You should see 90 volts. on the ring, and
then it should drop down. If you see no change during the ring cycle
you have a bad ring generator on that card.

Take care,
Rich

going change his position on anything.

It has been a number of years since I configured a Partner system but I
believe there's a setting you can make to the station that tells it to
use normal ring cadence.
