I was asked how top hook up a 4228 network to 500, using a 2 wire ringer.
Anyone have a diagram. Would it be similar to this ?

If using a 2-wire ringer instead of a 4-wire, connect black ringer wire to L1 and red ringer wire to K. Then either run a jumper from L2 to A, or move slate hookswitch wire from L2 to A.

Ok poplar1 I was able to finally get a dial tone and the ringer to work however the dial will not break dialtone.  I swapped dials and I get the same thing so somewhere I am messing it up

Now it is

Hook Switch
Brown     C
Green     L1
Red        GRN
Yellow    A
Black      R

Dial         
 
Blue       RR
Blue        F
White      R & GRN

Modular handset 
Green    Grn
Black      L1
White     R
Red        R

Ringer works fine and is hooked up
Black      L1
Red        K

This thing was totally disassembled when I got it and I have never worked with this network.  Any clue to get this up and running?

Black handset goes to B, not L1

White hookswitch (not listed) should be on F

Green line cord on L1.

If yellow hookswitch is on A, then red line cord also connects to  A. Otherwise, yellow hookswitch AND red line cord on L2 and run jumper from L2 to A.

A 500 is wired the same with a 4228, 425B or 425E. These networks have the same terminals (just arranged differently)  except that the C terminal is just a soldered wire on the 425B.

The only thing that changed here is that you have a ringer with only 2 wires.

However, the diagram referred to in the first post is for the early 500s with a 425A network. The 425A has "M" and "E" terminals that aren't on the 425B, 425E or 4228, and there is no "C."
