TELCO TONES by Compy
|
|
Well, last night I took the telephone and a few oscillators to see what
|
|
combination of tones formed the dial-tone, busy-signal, etc... Here they
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
Dial-tone: 350hz and 440hz
|
|
Busy-signal: 620hz and 440hz - on for 1/2 second, off for 1/2 second...
|
|
Attention (blasting tone you get when you forget to hang up the phone:
|
|
1400hz, 2060hz, 2450hz, 2600hz all mixed together. (Pulsed at a rate
|
|
of 5hz)
|
|
Ring: 440hz, 480 hz.
|
|
|
|
Also, you cannot hear the following tones, but when your phone rings, the
|
|
switching office sends the following signals to activate different types
|
|
of 'ringing' sounds:
|
|
Decimonic ring: 20, 30, 40, 50hz
|
|
Harmonic ring: 16-2/3, 25, 33-1/3, 50hz
|
|
Synchromonic ring: 20, 30, 42, 54hz
|
|
|
|
On the standard ESSX or DMS-100 switching systems, you only get one type
|
|
of ring. However, if you are on a SLC-60 switching system (coming soon
|
|
from Bell), the phone company can choose which one you get by the flip of
|
|
a switch...
