Telephone question
Anyone have a clever solution to this problem...
I have a one-line telephone, but two telephone lines in the house. Is there some way, perhaps with relays to recognize which line is ringing and have the one-line phone connected to the ringing line? (It's a honey-do problem... you know... "pretty phone, don't throw it away" :-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

IIRC it's basically a latching relay with the coil(s) activated by the ringing current. Dunno if they or anyone else still markets something like this... I bought ours back in the late 1980s. |

It's got enough oomph behind it to ring real, physical bells in several phones at once (or in my case, one honkin' big bell that can be heard all over my 5 acres when the shop door is open). When you pick up the phone, about 48V/1200ohms flows through the phone, providing power to the phone and a signal to the central office that the phone is picked up. Surely you can figure it out from there? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
