Hardware switch one single-line phone two lines

In order to make it easier to switch directly to POTS in case of a pbx
failure, I need a hardware switch to connect one phone to two different
sockets. Anyone have any experience with thiese?

thx

Can't you just move the plug from one socket to the other?

If you buy a DPDT switch at Radio Shack and wire it yourself, it should cost
$2 or so.

RS's #43-433 is $18.49 if BlueRinse isn't that handy.

Since you are wanting to switch between a PBX line and a POTS, I assume
the PBX line is analog also. Why not just use a readily available
2-line analog phone? If the PBX goes out, press line 2...

Since you are making the switch accessable to the person using the
phone, there's really no difference, and you save having a gadget
taking up desk space.

Yes I can, but the person who is alone in the office may not be able to.

Perfect, thanks. It happens that I didn't look there because we don't have
any RS in Europe, but now that I know they have these, I'll check into it
next time I'm somewhere where there is a store.

Try to put yopurself in the position of the user, not the maintainer.

Because no one is asking me to replace a phone they like. If they *had* a
two-line phone, it would be able to use the two lines, since 99% of the
time the pbx is up. (For the last year, 100% actually, except for a power
failure.)

Making it easier for a person to accomplish things is not necessarily
facilitated by forcing a new phone on them. It was hard enough getting
them to like the pbx! The switch can be on the floor or under the desk.

The point of the switch is simple: if the phone goes dead, try hitting the
switch. The existing phone also has a callerid box on it, which is why
changing the cable from one to the other is overly complicated. I had to
go back to the office once to do it myself.

Couldn't agree more.
To someone who is even the least bit technically orientated it can be
mind-boggling to try to understand how an ordinarily otherwise intelligent
human being can be *SO UTTERLY HELPLESS* when it comes to even the most
simple of "technical" tasks, like plugging in the phone.

Correct again. Unless the PBX had developed a history of routine failures
such that the user had, through multiple prior experiences become
accustomed to switching over, this plan wouldn't work.

One of the great disasters of the voice cabling infrastructure in our
office was the ill-fated decision by someone back in the late 1990s to
install ***TWO*** voice jacks in a common faceplace at every (3000+)
workstation. The idea at the time was to have every faceplace "equipped
for" the chance possibility of the user wanting a modem line, even though
fewer than 10% of the employees ever had one.

Gauwd-d-d-d-d-d-d almighty, I cannot begin to tell you the number of
service calls that has spawned. Having some technical skills, I also do
not understand why someone would unplug their phone and then not be able
to get it back into the same jack as before, but Jesus Mary and Joseph, it
happens over and over, at least once a week. Further confusing the
technical mind is why, if one jack doesn't work the mental midgets don't
think to try the other one.

You have to understand, the users are the same folks who today, even if
their life depended on it, would have no earthly clue how to use their
computer if someone stole their mouse.

That's out of line.

The likely place a set of telco plugs would need to exist is in the wiring
closet. This is a place most normal people are "not supposed to go".
Asking them to wander in there and make sense of rats nest of wires is
unrealistic. Granted, this could be wired up such that it was in an
easier-to-access location with user-friendly labels attached but it's still
be something most normal people would have trouble handling properly. So
while you may feel a certain sense of superiority about it most of the
regular people doing the work don't, and shouldn't, care about it. Besides
it's them doing their jobs that justifies all this infrastructure being
there in the first place. Without them, well, admins aren't very
necessary....

Damned if do, damned if you don't. One trick that helps avoid trouble is to
use color-coded sockets. That and LABELLING the faceplaces. Users are
always going to screw things up. You can only hope to mitigate the
frequency of their screwups and the amount of blame they'll try to put on
you.

Which has nothing to do with telco wiring.

The user has the mental model that the two jacks are the same
sort-of-thing as the two AC power jacks: he/she thinks that they are
parallel or the same thing. You have to lable the jacks.

Yeah, I should know better. I've chased more than a couple of trouble
calls for people who have their two-line's "conference" button pressed
in and didn't realize it. They call someone, get them *and* their
voicemail since it's set to forward busy...

3000+ extensions on my campus also. Around half are students. The
dorms were wired for telephone (either wallplates or c-blocks) long
before contractors put in CATV and ethernet in a common surface mount
Panduit box. Every semester when the kids move in they find the CATV,
then plug their phone into the data jack, and call the Help Desk on
their cell complaining of no dial tone. What gets me is that while the
tech has them on the line, why not talk them through finding the jack,
rather than logging a work order to me. Now I have to go to the dorm
and plug their phone in for them since I can't talk to them...

CATV is another good one. When they unplug their TV from home it
reverts back to antenna in the setup. They plug into the campus cable
and call complaining they only get the first 13 channels so there
*must* be something wrong with the cable...

We used panduit as well (minicom) and had the opportunity (and even
recommended) that we use different colored jacks to designate the various
services (voice/modem/Lan/DSL) with color-coordinated matching pigtail
cables but the all-knowing architect felt that it wasn't aesthetically
correct, so everything is standard EI. So much for trying to idiot-proof
the infrastructure.

Something else that *REALLY* grindles me... When we were pulling in the
horizontal distribution it was made clear to everyone that voice & data
cables had to be fully supported and could *NOT* lay on the ceiling grid
or lighting fixtures. Then some low-bidder comes in behind us to put in
the fire detection and security system and guess where their cables are?
Pretty obvious too they've never had to deal with a splined ceiling grid
system before either. (That part was almost comical)

We were using Panduit prior to this, but this was the early Cat5 days
and ModCom. Back then all Cat5 jacks were orange around the insert so
you had a chance to tell folks to look for the orange jack for data and
white for phone (Cat3 8X8s were white too, though). The dorms were
wired with the early jacks that had the same config as a "normal" 568B
plug. Then Panduit came out with the config that reversed everything
but 3&6. With the old jack obsolete, you couldn't use the existing cap
on a new jack if the student had screwed the contact fingers up (how
they did that I don't know...). Panduit kept the orange insert portion
for a while on the MiniCom 8X8 flat cap and the GigaJack that takes the
hinged tool to terminate. The last few rounds of GigaJacks I've got
in have all been white on the inside like the 6X6 flat cap MiniComs.
My guess is they weren't selling enough purple jacks. <g>

Seems the Fire Marshall would have caught that and had them repull.

Speaking of security, the access control contracters came in after the
data/CATV was installed in the dorms, took over a third of the
backboards when we weren't looking, used our vertical conduits, and
then had the audacity to tell the head of Housing that the data cables
were causing interference and making their system flakey. Of course
our response was "we were here first, move *your* stuff". I guess it
wasn't *that* bad, they never moved anything... <g>

That's one thing about a splined ceiling. Once closed up NOBODY ever wants
to re-open it ;-)

Answers from previous customers:

A: this unit has many uses. it can combine two analog (regular plain Jane
telephone lines) into a common point. This allows you to create a dual line
telephone suite(telephone, answering. modem) etc for way less than the cost
of a two line phone and two line answering machines and modems don't
commonly exist. Further, VOIP has become very popular and users gain
tremendous long distance rates rates, however they don't have a "local
presence" and often back up the voip with a single plain Jane telephone
line. the clt will join voip and telco to a signal automatic port for the
ultimate convience! Plus no power supply or batteries to clutter your
desktop! Plus all port surge protected to protect you equipment! plus two
additional universal (I/O) line 1 and line 2 dedicated ports... enabling an
even wider array of connection schemes.

A: S&H outside CONUSA (48 USA states) costs more. The tariff diferene
varies based on exact location. The range is about $1.00 to Canda and
Mexico, and Hawaii. And is $3.00 to most of EU and Middle eastern locations.

A: In coming activity is automatically routed to the auto output port.

A: Out bound activity is automatic. Users can mnaully re-direct any cal and
visually confirm which line is in use by observing the LED indication.

A: The unit can be wired into a single telephone jack with the lines (four
wire connectors) OR there are two additonal , inversal jacks that enable
physical connnections to different phone access port. For example line 1 on
a VOIP modem and line2 to your local Telco jack. The CLT can join any two
lines and provide a single convient access point.

A: The CLT does not require batteries or wall power supplies.

What PBX are you using..? All the ones I've ever used switch each exchange
line directly to a designated extension in case of mains failure. My
current one has 4 lines and 12 extensions, the latter are numbered from
221 upwards. In the event of a power failure the first exchange line gets
connected to extension 221, the 2nd to 222 and so on.

My friend tried to buy something from this guy and he cashed the check but
refused to deliver for 4 months. Finally he sent a box containing random
parts and cables but not anything like what was ordered. When my friend
wrote to him to complain, he received over 5000 copies of an obscene message
from Mark and finally had to close his email account because they kept
coming in.
