My answering machine is integrated with my phone and caller ID device. When I install the Ring Controller in front of such an integrated phone, the answering machine still works but the caller ID on the phone does not. However, the caller ID on the controller works fine. Also, how many rings should I set my answering machine for? The Ring Controller should be set up after the answering machine and before the phone, if possible. When this is not possible, then install it before the device it is meant to control (e.g., the phone or the fax machine). The answering machine needs to be set to ring 6 or more times, and no less then 4 times.
