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

[ad7i]

Old telephone guy here.

Two questions for you about the call blocker.

1.  Does your call blocker support outbound dial pulse dialing?  Do you
need to (are you able to) configure the call blocker for outbound dial
pulse dialing?

2.  Does the call blocker indicate the max REN (ringer equivalence number)
that it will drive?  Your AE phone probably has old-school mechanical
bells, which likely have an REN of 1.0.  Modern electronic phones usually
have an REN of 0.1 to 0.2 (much lighter load).

Finally, I don't think the Viking TBB-1B will solve either the dialing or
ringing problem.

Paul, ad7i
