14 FOOT SILVER SATIN HANDSET RECORDING CORD

14 Foot Silver Satin Handset to 3.5mm Recording Cord

14 Foot cord with a Handset Plug on one end and a 3.5mm Audio Plug on the other end.

Use this cord to get the audio from the receiver wires on the handset into a recorder or PC mic input.

This cord has no connection to the mic wires from the handset, only the receiver wires... Which normally contain both sides of the conversation (if you can hear yourself when you talk into the handset).

Solid Nose Handset Cord UnTwister™

Solid Nose Handset Cord UnTwister™

If you don't remember to unwind your handset cord once in a while and it turns into a knotted mess, get one of these to do it automatically!

This only works in handsets where the jack isn't recessed into the plastic shell.
 

NOTE:  We've tried similar products from all of the factories in Asia, and this is the only one that actually spins so the cord will stay untwisted, and it doesn't have static right out of the box.
 

It won't work in a handset like this one with a recessed jack:

                  The nose just isn't long enough!

Our Solid Nose Handset Cord UnTwister™ will work with any phone handset without a recessed jack.
 

NOTE:  This is not like the cheap white ones on the market that don't spin (so they're useless!).

SOLID NOSE UNTWISTER

RECORDING / PLAYBACK & IN-USE HEADSET ADAPTER

That means that you can't use any accessories made to be used with a handset, because the wires aren't in the right place.

Our Recording / Playback & In-Use Adapter plugs into the jack for the headset. You then plug your headset into the jack labeled for the Headset Only. The other jack is wired to like a regular handset jack. That allows you to use accessories made to be used with a handset.

Note that the real handset for that phone probably won't work correctly on our adapter because besides the wiring change, there may be a polarity and gain difference on the headset transmitter circuit. But it will work well for recording while on a headset on the phone, sending audio from a PC back into the phone while the user is on their headset, and for our Orator II which gives you an amplifier and speaker so others in the room can hear the same conversation while you're on your headset (or handset, or even on a regular analog phone line).

Adapter lets you:

• Use our Headset In-Use Indicator on a Headset without an amplifier  

• Record conversations using our Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter from a headset without a headset amplifier (plugged directly into a modular headset jack on a phone).  

• Playback music or audio using our Handset Audio Feeder into a headset without a headset amplifier (plugged directly into a modular headset jack on a phone).  

• Connect our Orator II Speaker to a headset jack to the conversation can be heard by others in the room

RECORDING HEADSET/HANDSET ADAP

iPhone 3.5mm AUDIO ADAPTER CORD

iPhone 3.5mm Recording / Playback Audio Adapter Cord

Works with Smartphones, Tablets and Laptops

You NEED this cord if you're going to play music or audio or record from / into an iPod, Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop with the Speaker and Mic jacks combined into one 3.5mm 4 conductor plug.

There are two 3.5mm stereo jacks. One with a Microphone icon and one with a Headset (Speaker) icon. To record into your device, use the jack with the Mic icon. To play audio from your device, use the jack with the Headset icon. You can record and playback at the same time if  your device supports that.

If the headset that came with your device has four parts to the plug,
you need this Adapter Cord when you're using
a separate Mic and Speaker:

Works well when using your Smartphone to record phone calls, like with our Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter, or to feed music or other audio from our Handset Audio Feeder.

Great for playing music from your Smartphone or iPod for Music-on-Hold (MOH) on your phone system.

NOTE: There are many devices like this on the market that are much cheaper. This is the only one we've found that works right.

USB to SERIAL CONVERTER

USB to Serial Converter

Use a serial device on your PC or laptop that doesn't have a serial port, only a USB port. Has a DB9 Male Connector on a 2 foot cord.

There is a 90% chance this will work with a particular serial RS-232 device, not 100%. There's no way to know if it will work or not until you try it.

If your serial device doesn't work with this device right away, you may need to use our RS-232 Tech Bulletin to determine if any control pins need to be held high or low.

It supports Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista (32/64 bit), and Windows 7 (32/64 bit), as well as MAC OS X 10.1-10.5. Comes with a driver CD. It's made to be used on a USB 1.1 compliant port, which should include all USB 2.0 ports.

It should work well for programming most phone systems through a serial port.

Note that a USB device driver loads when the computer starts up. That's fine if you're sitting in-front of the computer, but there is a small chance that the drivers won't load properly on a particular reboot, requiring another reboot. That could be a problem if you're running this on an unattended PC like a kiosk. Real serial port drivers are more dependable (available on a PCI card (Windows only?) which is pretty cheap).

ORATOR III DESKTOP SPEAKER / AMPLIFIER

Orator III Desktop Monitor Speaker / Amplifier

Nice Loud Speaker with Volume Control

The Orator III has a modular cord that plugs into a phone line and lets you monitor conversations on the line - without disturbing either party talking on the line.

There are no clicks, no pops, nobody on the line can tell you're listening.

Modular cord plugs into an analog phone line. There's a jack on the Orator III to plug in a phone (not needed if you don't want to talk or dial).

The Orator III presents a high impedance to the line so it won't take the line off-hook. One-way speaker (not a speakerphone) will broadcast the entire conversation (all parties on the line) through the speaker.

EXCLUSION (PRIVACY) DEVICE

The Exclusion/Privacy Device is for sharing lines between phones, modems, credit card machines, etc.

Keep in mind that this device will let you share phone lines for both incoming and outgoing calls, but they have no way of routing incoming calls. That means that only one of the devices should be allowed to automatically answer the line!

We get lots of calls from people wanting Line In-Use indicators, so they know when the modem or phone is in-use and they don't interrupt the call when making an outbound call. The Exclusion/Privacy Adapter will do it automatically.

These devices work on the Voltage Drop principal! A standard phone line has 48VDC (or so) of talk battery, which drops to 6 - 15VDC when a phone is taken off hook. The Privacy Devices are placed in front of each phone or modem, and know that the line is busy (off-hook) if the voltage drops below a threshold of 24VDC. If the talk battery is below 24V, the device won't conduct electricity so the phone won't be able to pick up the line. Because of that, you can't use the regular Privacy Devices on Key System or PBX stations that have 24V talk battery (use our 24V Privacy Chip which has a 12V threshold).

You can't use these on very long cable runs because the voltage doesn't drop much on the other run when you go off hook. If the voltage doesn't drop below the threshold of the Privacy Device, the Privacy Device won't exclude.

Keep these facts in mind when using these:

• They must be put in front of each device that you want to be excluded from the line when it is busy (you can't just put it in front of the phone you don't want interrupted).
• You can't put two of these in-series!
• Some Credit Card Terminals (and other devices) already have these built-in, so if you can't use a Privacy Device on these terminals (can't put two in-series).
• The telephones or other devices have to be within a couple of hundred feet of one another. They generally won't work between buildings.
• These will only work on phone lines with 48 Volt talk battery (the only 24V Privacy Device we have is the 24V Privacy Chip).

48V HARDWIRE PRIVACY DEVICE

White/Blue in and White/Blue out.

Put one in-series with the pair going to each phone.

Put one on the pair to each phone or device. Put it at the NI, the frame, on a 66 block, at the jack, or even inside the phone (not a good idea since you can lose track of it if you need to replace the phone).

One side of the Hardwire Privacy Device is punched down on the 66 block, and the station cable (or jumper wire) is 'beanied' to the other end. Includes beanies.

24V EXCLUSION / PRIVACY CHIP

It looks like a diode, but it's not! It only works on PBX or Key System Stations, or VoIP devices with 24V talk battery.

Use one in-series with either the tip or ring going to the phone (it doesn't matter which).

Put one at the frame, on a 66 block, or at the jack. If you put it at the frame, you may need to put one on both the tip and ring to prevent an imbalance. The longer the cable run, the better the chance you will hear hum or other noise on the line caused by the imbalance. Putting it on both the tip and ring will keep the line balanced (tip and ring the same length).

One end of the Privacy Chip is easily punched down on a 66 block, and the station cable (or jumper wire) is 'beanied' to the other end.

If you put it at the jack, it's unlikely you'll need to put one on both the tip and ring, since there's only the mounting cord (around 7') after it.

Only works with 24VDC talk battery, like you'd see from an analog station port or VoIP device. It won't work on a regular 48V phone line.

HANDSET AUDIO FEEDER™

Play Audio from your PC, MP3 Player, CD
or PA Amplifier into your Phone's Handset

Speed Dial from your PC or MP3 Player, or play
Pre-Recorded Greetings or Sales Pitches to a Caller!

NOTE: This device records TO the phone FROM a computer or mp3 player. To RECORD from a phone to a computer or recorder click here for our Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter.

There are 2 Switches:

1. Cuts off the audio from the PC or mp3 player.

2. Mutes the mic in the handset so there's no background noise.

Plug the included 3.5mm Stereo Cord with Stereo Y Adapter into your PC's sound card or an MP3 player's headset jack, and feed the audio into your phone

The Handset Audio Feeder™ works with any telephone that uses an electret  type of microphone in the handset (which is in most modern phones), and where the dial is in the base (not in the handset).

To speed dial, you would need an application to "play" the Touch Tones back at the right speed, in the right order, with the right amount of pause between each digit.

A FREE Windows DTMF dialing application that lets you create a speed dial list is available at:

http://www.silverstones.com/DTMFDial.html

A shareware Windows DTMF dialing application that lets you create a speed dial list, which is around $30 to register, is available at:

http://www.phonedialerpro.com/#PDP

If you use Phone Dialer Pro, be sure to go into Options and click Dial without Modem, which will send dialing through the sound card. This program lets you assign a hot key to capture phone numbers off your PC screen, and even right click to dial a phone number from a web page.

Just record yourself dialing a phone number with our Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter, save it to a name like MikeSandmanOffice.wav, and play it back when you want to dial. Many music players let you make categories for songs which you can use to sort your speed dial numbers, and they allow you to hit the first letter of the name of the file to find a particular tune (speed dial number in this case!).

Click HERE to listen to the speed dial for our office.

If you have a 256 Meg MP3 Player, which is about the smallest you can get today, you could store 2,500 of the wav files like the one above (which is around 90K). A 2500 number speed dialer that fits in the palm of your hand, and sits nicely next to the phone on your desk!

If you have a Handset Audio Feeder™, you just play that wav file (recording of the digits) from your computer or audio player, and it will dial the number in the recording. Again, to make an audio recording of the dialing, you'll need our Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter to record the dialing to sound files on your computer (and then transfer them to your MP3 player, if desired).

To play back a sales pitch or greeting (to save your voice!), you'll need the Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter attached to the handset jack of your phone to record yourself. You only need it while you're recording what you want to say, so you only need one per office if that's what you're using it for. That will let you use the sound recorder application that came with your computer to record the sales pitch.

By using the same handset or headset as you do on normal calls, the recording you make will sound like you're speaking live when you play that recording to the person on the phone. If you use a computer microphone or regular tape recorder to record the sales pitch, it won't match - and it will sound silly.

Click HERE to listen to Mike's greeting, recorded to his PC using the Deluxe Handset Recording Adapter.

Notice that it sounds like Mike is talking on the phone, so if he clicks PLAY on his PC wav player, the caller wouldn't know the greeting was recorded. That would be very handy if you have to repeat a long sales pitch numerous times every day!

Because the Handset Audio Feeder™ connects to the handset cord (not the wall jack), it will feed audio into almost any phone made with an electret transmitter, (with a dial in the base - not in the handset).

This includes electronic, digital and VoIP phones (since the handset cord is always analog audio). It won't work with RCA or GE phones, cordless phones, or Trimline type phones with the dial-in-handset (the handset cord on those phones don't contain the same signals as a regular phone). It won't work with handsets with a carbon or dynamic transmitter.

To send or receive audio to cordless and Trimline type dial-in-handset phones, use our Phone Line Audio Coupler, that connects directly to an analog phone line or station port (instead of to the handset jack).

You can send almost any audio through the handset on your phone!  To play the audio from a PC or PA system through your phone's handset, all of the audio sent to the 3.5mm Stereo Cord will be heard by the person on the other end of the call. Connect it to the headset jack on a tape recorder, Line Out or Speaker Out on a PC sound card, or a 600 ohm line level output on a PA amplifier (don't connect it to a 70V speaker line output, but it will probably work OK on an 8 ohm speaker output).

There is no volume control on the Handset Audio Feeder™, so you'll need to adjust the volume on your computer or audio player for best match. There is a switch on the Handset Audio Feeder™ that allows you to turn on or off the audio feed from your PC, so the caller won't hear You've Got Mail or other sounds that normally play on your PC.

Because the Handset Audio Feeder™ is transformer isolated, it will prevent hum and distortion in the audio being sent from your computer or audio player.

NOTES:

The Handset Audio Feeder™ only sends the LEFT channel to the phone. This shouldn't matter in most cases, but you may have to switch the computer or audio player to MONO in your particular application. You can place a special order for a Handset Audio Feeder™ that sends a mono signal from both the LEFT and RIGHT channels to your handset, but if you plug it into your PC with the included Stereo Y Adapter, you'll always hear a MONO signal from the PC's speakers - that are also plugged into the Stereo Y Adapter.

Some VoIP phones don't have sidetone (you can't hear your own voice in the receiver while you're speaking), in which case you won't hear the audio that's going down the phone line (but they will hear it on the other end of the call).

Custom and Private Label versions available.

AUDIO FEED-HANDSE

ULTIMATE CALL HANDLER

THIS BOX DOES EVERYTHING!

Well... Almost Everything!

The Ultimate Call Handler uses One Phone Line, which MUST have the 3-Way Calling Feature from a US Phone Company. Because it uses the Phone Company's 3-Way Calling feature to connect calls together, the volume on all calls is perfect (unlike other devices or phone systems that use two separate phone lines, which cause serious low volume problems).

While you can't do all of these things at the same time with the Ultimate Call Handler, you can use two features - like the WATS Extender feature by simply entering your PIN number before the Ultimate Call Handler starts to dial when Diverting, Transferring or doing a Call Back. Very slick!

• Call Bridge - WATS Extender
  • Call into unit, enter security code, dial anywhere in the world!
  • Dial #8 to make another call... without hanging up!
  • The Caller ID that's sent is for the line the Ultimate Call Handler is connected to.
  • Gives you a perfect connection.
  
  
• Call Diverter - Call Forwarder
  • Reprogram the destination number anytime, from anywhere.
  • Record 8 second "greeting" telling caller to "wait a moment."
  • Can divert to a second number if no answer on the first one.
  • Eliminates phone company's "Call Forwarding" charge.
  • Set to Divert on 1st to 10th ring (gives you time to pick up the line).
  
  
• Call Transfer to Another Number from PBX or Centrex Lines
  • Requires Centrex, or a PBX "CO Hookflash" feature code on the analog station port the Ultimate Call Handler is connected to.
  • Can transfers a caller directly into a voicemail box after X rings.
  • Requires no integration between voicemail and phone system.
  • Allows combination of Call Forwarding to a number, with Call Transfer to voicemail extension (up to 5 digits) if no answer!
  
  
• Call Back - International Long Distance Saver
  • Record 18 second "message" (remotely), telling hotel operator to transfer the call to a particular room (repeated once).
  • Dial into the ULTIMATE CALL HANDLER from the Call Back number, and hang up after 1 ring. It then calls you back so you can enter your PIN to make a call.
  • Dial #8 to make another call... without hanging up.
  • Reprogram the Call Back number and "message" anytime.
  • Also works as Call Forwarder (with 8 second greeting), sending callers to the same foreign number used for Call Back.
  • More privacy than using a "Call Back" service provider.
  • Savings of up to 80% over foreign phone company billing.

Great for Answering Services... Put one at each Subscriber's phone, to see his number on Caller ID (you'll know how to answer the line!).

Great for Transferring Calls OFF PREMISE... Route calls through an Automated Attendant on a PBX or Key System, with NO Loss of Volume!

To transfer calls off-premise, you need to have 3-Way Calling on the CO lines, route the call to an analog port, and know the code to do a CO hookflash from an analog station (something like #6 on Panasonic). The will be no loss of volume when you transfer calls this way.

Features:

• Non-Volatile EEPROM Memory
• Programmable 4 digit security code
• Program on-site or remotely
• No computer connection - Everything is DTMF
• Works with fax machines and modems
• Disconnects based on call timer duration (hit any digit if you hear the warning tone), CPC signal, or 2.5 minutes of silence
• Operates from 110V AC Power Cube (included)
• FCC Registered

When using the Ultimate Call Handler as a WATS Extender or during programming, you are prompted with beeps. There are no voice prompts (to prevent hackers from accessing your line), so you'll have to use the Ultimate Call Handler for a day or two to get used to its operation. A "technically challenged" person may never be able to use the Ultimate Call Handler.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Ultimate Call Handler is made to use standard US style 3-Way Calling, where you can hookflash as soon as you're done dialing the second party's phone number. In other countries, and with most VoIP devices, after you dial the phone number for the second party, you MUST wait for the second party to answer before hookflashing, so the Ultimate Call Handler won't work on VoIP or in other countries where you can't hookflash until the outside party answers.

CPC TESTER

CPC Signal Tester

In the US a CPC signal is an open loop (0VDC), typically for 800ms. If the telephone equipment is programmed to detect an open for 500ms (usually called Open Loop Disconnect Time in the system programming), the phone system will hang-up the trunk when it detects the 0 volts for 500ms (even though the open loop continues until 800ms).

Without the CPC Signal, voice mail, answering machines, dictation machines and any other automatic telephone equipment won't hang-up when the outside party hangs-up.

The CPC Tester makes it incredibly easy to see if you're getting a CPC signal, and what the duration is. Once you know if you're getting a CPC and the duration, you can program the phone system to detect an open for that amount of time.

The CPC Tester also detects a reversal, which is no longer used in the US (since the last Step-by-Step switch was upgraded). Battery Reversal is still used in some foreign countries as a CPC signal, which means that foreign telephone equipment used in the US probably won't detect an Open Loop Disconnect.

It's easy to use:

• Plug it into the line
• Make a call, and have the person on the other end hang up
• The top red LED will flash for the length of the CPC signal, and one of the lower LEDs will light up indicating the duration of the CPC signal

If you're not getting the CPC signal from the phone company, you can usually ask them to supply it on the phone line. If you are getting it, then you have to find out why your phone equipment isn't detecting it, or why the system isn't passing the signal through to the single line station port with voice mail, a dictation machine, etc.

More information about CPC is in our CPC Tech Bulletin. Be sure to take a look at it before going to battle with the Phone Company!

NOTE: Most phone lines give a very short CPC (open loop) signal either as soon as you pick up the line, or as soon as you've finished dialing. You'll see this open loop on the CPC Tester. If the phone system is programmed for a very short open loop (like 20ms), you may not be able to make any phone calls because the phone system thinks it's getting a CPC signal right at the start of the call. The CPC Tester could help diagnose that type of problem, where the fix would be to simply change the Open Loop Timer in the phone system to 500ms.

CPC PULSE TESTER

DTMF FLASH GENERATOR

  DTMF Flash Generator

This amazing line powered device will flash (or hang-up) the line for up to a second in response to a pre-programmed code. It's always listening on the line.

Using the DTMF Flash Generator to provide a CPC:

Many phone systems allow in-band signalling to indicate to the device connected to an analog station port that the trunk has received a CPC signal from the phone company, and the outside party has hung-up. In-band signalling can be a DTMF digit (including A, B, C and D fourth column tones), dial tone, busy signal or reorder tone. These tones are usually used to signal a voice mail system that the outside party has hung-up.

It's usually necessary to program the phone system's analog station port as a voice mail port in order to use in-band signalling (this is how integration was done in the past). If the system supports sending a DTMF digit when it receives a CPC signal on a trunk, this is the most dependable way of proving an open-loop disconnect to the device on the analog station port. Any other methods have to recognize a tone or silence, which can lead to cut-offs when you don't want them.

Keep in mind that even if the phone system does support in-band signalling when it receives a CPC on a trunk, it may not send the DTMF digit when on a station to station call. That means that a voicemail will hang-up on trunk calls, but not on messages left from a station

DTMF FLASH GENERATOR

UNIVERSAL CPC GENERATOR™

                    MAKE A STATION PORT HANG UP... Line Powered!

Many Phone Systems don't pass an open loop (0 volts) CPC Signal (Calling Party Control) from the CO Line to the station port.

For the few phone system that can't send a DTMF digit to tell the device to hang-up, the Universal CPC Generator™ is the answer.

Those systems usually send dial tone or a busy signal to the station port after the CO line disconnects, which keeps the Voice Mail or other device from hanging up.

The end result is Voice Mail messages that have a lot of junk at the end of them, or ports that stay tied up for a long time (or until manually reset). This makes it necessary to have more ports and bigger hard drives than are really needed, to make up for the lack of a CPC Signal.

The Universal CPC Generator™ goes in-front of a voice mail system, automated attendant, dictation system, OPX ports or any automated telephone device that answers the phone. It listens for the tones or silence you program, and if it hears a match for the duration of what you program, it opens the line for about 800ms to tell phone equipment that's looking for an open loop CPC to hang-up.

The new Universal CPC Generator™ will listen for one or more tones (Precise tones in the US are made up of two or four tones sent simultaneously), or silence.

Because the new Universal CPC Generator™ listens for one or more of eight of the tones that commonly makeup Precise tones in the US, it isn't likely to false with music or voice.

The Universal CPC Generator™ can also listen for silence for a duration, and then open the loop for 800ms.

Whether silence or tones will work in your application is something you'll have to think about. For example, if your automated attendant never stops talking, there will never be silence.

Click here to see the Manual in PDF format.

You may be able to use the Universal CPC Generator™ to solve a paging problem, where a busy signal or dial tone from a station port goes over the speakers. In a paging application you may be able to trigger the CPC in as little as 250 ms of a particular tone. You can also trigger it on a couple of seconds of silence. The only way to know for sure is to give it a try, playing with the timers in the Universal CPC Generator™.

The best solution for phone systems that don't have an external page port, and where a spare CO trunk isn't available, is to use the speaker leads in an electronic station set. Find an old phone, put it in the phone room, cut the speaker out and connect the speaker leads from the phone to the input of the page amp (program that phone for the page zone you want). You may need our Audio Transformer with Volume Control, to isolate the phone system from the page amp (to prevent hum and noise).

Wizard's Toolbox™ Relays

Designed by Gary Christiansen of Creative Aspect Electronics (CAI, Inc.) in the 1970s the original circuits are now discontinued. We've redesigned the line powered Ring Relay and Loop Sensing Relay, and you can get them here.

These relays can be used singly or together to do just about anything your customer asks you to do with a phone system!

The relay contacts on Wizard's Toolbox™ Relays will operate low voltage/low current devices. To operate a 110V AC lamp or start a car, you'll need to use a Slave Relay (below) that can handle the appropriate current.

You do need to know how electricity works to use these relays. We don't offer any support on how to use them.

If you can hook up a light bulb, battery and switch, you'll probably be able to use these just fine.

MODULAR SERIES LOOP SENSING (IN-USE) RELAY

2 Form C Contacts

This relay MUST be connected in-series with the device that goes off-hook on the line (senses current). You can make just about anything happen when a phone goes off-hook with this relay!

The line powered Modular Series In-Use Relay has two mod jacks on one side of the box. These two jacks are for the phone line and the telephone or CPE device. It doesn’t matter which jack you use for which, but the electricity must pass through this device before getting to the phone for the relay to operate when the phone is off-hook.

• Connects INLINE to the phone line through the 2 jacks (use either jack for in/out)

• Includes an LED to indicate Off-Hook

• Ignores ringing and pulse dialing

• 2 form C contacts (DPDT) on a 6P6C modular jack (RJ-12)

• Relay contacts are for low voltage / low current devices. Use it to operate a bigger slave relay for higher current or higher voltage applications.

MODULAR RING RELAY

2 Form C Contacts

This relay get bridged across (in parallel with) an analog POTS line or station port. You can make just about anything happen when the line rings with this relay!

The line powered Modular Ring Relay has two mod jacks on one side of the box. These two jacks are for the phone line. If you need it going out to a phone or CPE device use the other jack. The two jacks are bridged together. It doesn’t matter which one you use.

• Connects bridged ACROSS the line (connect either jack)

• Includes an LED to indicate Ringing

• Follows cadence of ring (but no AC flutter during ringing)

• Ignores Ring-Tap from pulse dialing or phones on the same line being hung-up
