Line Voltage (Talk Battery) - 48v with receiver on-hook, red wire (ring) negative, 5v for off-hook (with 50-1000 ohm d.c. load on line). Ring Signal - 20-90 vp-p, at 20-40 hz. Dialtone - dual 345 and 440 hz sinewaves. DTMF Tones - 1 high-band plus 1 low-band sinewave at frequencies shown in DTMF Table, at max transmission level of 0 dBm averaged over 3 sec (approx 24.5v RMS), for minimum of 50 msec duration and 45 msec interdigit time. Busy Signal - dual 480 and 620 hz sinewaves, 0.5 sec on, 0.5 sec off. Ringback Signal (simulates phone being rung up) - dual 440 and 480 hz sinewaves, 2 sec on, 4 sec off. Receiver Off-Hook Tone (when someone forgets to hang up the phone) - quad 1400, 2060, 2450, and 2600 hz tones, pulsed at a 5 hz rate. Speech Signals - 200 - 3400 hz, bandlimited. ====================== I also have an appnote that shows a number of these signals on a scope display: AN-PTB04 - Telephone System Testing Using the PTB http://www.sni.net/~oricom/appnotes.htm best regards, - Dan Michaels Oricom Technologies =================== -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]: PIC only [EE]: engineering [OT]: off topic [AD]: advertisements -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
