Hello Netland ! I am building a device to monitor multiple phone lines for a) availability (any official line attached) b) activity (in use ?) c) toll pulses (16khz 0.5sec 15V amplitude) c) is not a problem, I have a circuit. I also have a solution for b, but I'd like to combine it with a). The problem: I want to drive a LED in an optocoupler so that it is active when there is any voltage on the line. The line has 48-60V when idle, 6-13V when active. As far as I know, there may be higher AC voltages when ringing. My problem is: How do I make the LED light at all these odd voltages ? If a line-powered solution is possible, it'd be the best one. Next thing is, I'd like to have another optocoupler signalling 6-13V or 48-60V (larger than an adjustable voltage). Any help will be appreciated, Greetings and many thanks in advance, -- bkr@drdhh.hanse.de - Bjoern Kriews - Stormsweg 6 - D-2000 Hamburg 76 - FRG /tmp # cd /dev /dev # ls -l exrom (me, Oct 22) exrom not found
