[GreenKeys] O/T - 24v to 48v POTS Telco converter for added ring?

[john at toebes.com]

You can also look at the Rototone which I converted my Western Electric 500 so that in addition to generating touch tones, it also adds speed dials and codes for * # and last number redial.

While on the subject of connecting to Asterisk, has anyone found a decent FXO port  to work with it?  I’ve seen the combo Grandstream boxes with the FXO port (I already have one with two FXS ports).  There used to be a Piranha USB-FXO adapter and the Sangoma USBfxo, but they no longer seems to be available…

That's because your call blocker doesn't comply to phone company standards.

To get your POTS (analog) phone to work with it, get a Dial Gizmo.

The Dialgizmo pulse to tone converter box allows you to use any old rotary pulse dial phone on modern telephone ...

 

It's what I use between my Asterisk PBX and my '50s vintage Bell wall phone.

Hey all you Telco guys - need some help!  So I’ve just bought a call blocker for my POTS.  Normally at my deck, I have an Automatic Electric model 80 (rotary) here and it has always worked great on my phone line.  Hooked it up today to the phone blocker and welp, the bell won’t ring and it won’t really dial out.  Measured voltage on the phone side of the call blocker and it measures 24v, unlike the 48v going in :/ .  Question… would the unit in the link below be the cure-all to this low voltage blues?:

Really want to run the phone through the call blocker as opposed to going around it, since there’s added benefits(tm).

 

Thanks to anyone who might know and be able to help out on this :) .
