LINEMAN™Telephone Line Simulator DISCONTINUED PRODUCT |
LineMan is a two-line central office line simulator designed to work
with standard North American phones and telephone related devices. It is
compatible with modern telephones, voice mail systems, fax machines, and
data modems. Its high clarity audio offers superb voice communication and
it reliably supports high speed analog data calls.
Telephone equipment that is connected to the phoneline simulator operates just like it was installed on a real telephone line. To place a call just dial a local (seven digit) or long distance (eleven digit) phone number. Dial tone, ringing, and busy signals sound just like the real thing. All call progress tones follow the popular North American specifications. Frankly, telephone calls sound so authentic that LineMan can be used with theatrical phone props.
LineMan is very sophisticated, but easy to operate. Although you can use it as-is, right out of the box, you can also customize it for your special applications. For example, you can alter its operating mode, reorder tone behavior, network delay time, and more. Entering simple codes from a Touch Tone (DTMF) telephone is all that is needed to program the various features. Most users will never need to do this, but if you do, it is a very simple process to change the settings.
The rear panel audio output jack allows you to monitor the phone line audio. The audio signal is directly compatible with low cost PC style multimedia speaker systems that have a 1/8" mini-phone plug. Just connect your amplified speaker system and everyone will hear the phone call. This is ideal for training and demonstration applications.
LineMan is ideal for E-911 training applications. This is a popular subject taught by grade schools and fire departments. With minimal adult supervision your students can practice dialing 911 calls during a simulated emergency. Just add two standard telephones and plug the unit into AC power. It is that simple.
Don't let LineMan's low cost fool you -- it is a very sophisticated device. An internal 20-Hz ring generator uses digital precision to ensure full compatibility with modern telephone equipment. The ring circuit uses a superimposed 90 VAC voltage source like the phone company. The 28VDC talk path voltage is current limited to prevent damage to sensitive equipment such as PCMCIA modem cards.
