Chip recorder customizes phone ringer: 07/25/2002 EDN - Design Ideas / Companies usually purchase one type of telephone for all employees, which is understandable, especially if they obtain a discount for buying in quantity. One ringer sound for everyone can pose a problem, though, if the sound of a ringing phone makes a dozen people pause and look at their telephones. Equally annoying is the absence of a visual message indicator..

Old Phones As An Intercom:

Parallel Telephone With Secrecy and Call Prevention:

Parallel Telephones With Secrecy:

Parallel Telephones With Secrecy: This system will enable the incoming ring to be heard at both the ends. The DPDT switch, installed with each of the parallel telephones, connects you to the line in one position of the switch and disconnects you in the other position of the switch. At any one Time, only one telephone is connected to the line. To receive a call at an end where the instrument is not connected to the line, you just have to flip the toggle switch at your end to receive the call, and act as usual to have a conversation. As soon as the position of the toggle switch is changed, the line gets transferred to the other telephone instrument.

Phone-line-voltage monitor meets FCC specs: When you design equipment that interfaces to a phone line, it is often desirable to be able to monitor the dc voltage on the line. This ability can be useful, for example, to determine whether a line is in use before attempting to go off-hook and possibly interrupting somebody's phone call. FCC regulations place strict limits on the amount of leakage current an on-hook device can draw from a phone line.

Playing a Mac through a Standard Telephone Line: how to get sound from computer to Telephone line

Precision circuit closely monitors –48V bus: 10/17/2002 EDN - Design Ideas / Ever-greater complexity in communications systems has spurred a need for power-supply management. POTS (plain-old telephone systems) obtain power from –48V supplies backed by arrays of batteries in central offices and distributed throughout copper lines. Although nominally –48V, the voltage on the lines can vary from –40 to –80V, and the voltage is subject to surges and ....

: Here is a tele-remote circuit which enables switching "on" and "off" of appliances through Telephone lines. The circuit described here can be used to switch up to nine appliances (corresponding to the digits1 through 9 of DTMF the Telephone key-pad). The Telephone can be used to switch on or switch off the appliances also while being used for normal conversation. FAIR WARNING -- THIS SITE HAS ANNOYING POP UP ADS.

Simple Circuit to Connect telephone Equipment to Audio Mixer:

Simple Phone Tap:

Simple Phone Tap #1: will record any conversation on any ph1-on same line, the circuit seems to be a bad design because it does not provide proper isolation and has too low DC impedance (can keep you line off-hook all the Time)

Simple Telephone Recorder: This recorder can be connected to the telephone lines just about any place, and no external power source is needed. The tape recorders switch terminals are applied to a pair of transistors, connected as Darlingtons, that are used to turn the recorder on and off. When the telephone is off-hook theres usually about50 VDC across the phone thats divided over R1, R2, and R4, so that Q1s base is negative enough to keep the recorder off. Pick up the receiver, and the voltage drops to5 V. That leaves not quite-enough voltage on Q1s base to keep that transistor at cutoff, so the recorder begins. Remember to keep your recorders switch in the on position, and depending on how many people use the telephone, remember to rewind or change tapes occasionally!

Simple Telephone Ring Tone Generator:

Smart Ringing Phone Light: The circuit shown here is used to switch on a lamp when the Telephone rings, if the ambient light is insufficient. FAIR WARNING -- THIS SITE HAS ANNOYING POP UP ADS.

Soft Musical Telephone Ringer:

Soft On / Off Switch: Modern electronic equipment incorporate "push-to-on-push-to-off" switches that do not make the clicking noise as with old equipment. An example of this is the power button on a ATX computer cabinet. Here is a circuit that does the same. It can be used to turn on/off any electronic/electrical equipment that operates on any range of voltages. FAIR WARNING -- THIS SITE HAS ANNOYING POP UP ADS.

Telephone Controlled Night Light: When the telephone rings, or when the handset is lifted, the night light is turned on and remains on while the conversation takes place. When the handset is replaced in the cradle, the light remains on for about11 s. During standby conditions, the -28Vdc bias on the phone line maintains the output of U3 in a high state. When the ac ring signal is applied to the phone line, it is processed by the ring detector U1, producing a negative output pulse at pin2 for each ring. These pulses trigger U2, causing its output to become high and the discharge transistor to turn off.
