IP phone and beacon
-
Hi guys
Long time no speak but still a MySensors fan !!
My new project is a bit tougher than expected.
Here is the thing: landline phones used to be analog type, with some 40v running across the wires... adding a beacon for noisy environment was a breeze, just plug it in and whenever a call comes in the beacon picks the signal and rings.
My country has now moved to digital signal, IP i would say (please correct me if wrong terminology).
So now the phone is connected at the back of optic fiber internet box (modem) via RJ45 plug.Needless to say that analog beacon has become useless. Beacon manufacturers have not yet moved their tech towards IP protocol.
Have you ever bumped into that kind of challenge ?
I have a spare W5100 in the drawer... would it be able to access to the phone data, to check whether it's ringing ?
Hope you get the picture and you can show me the way forward

@ben999 said in IP phone and beacon:
digital signal, IP
I don't really know what a beacon of which you write, is.
If the signal is Internet Protocol (IP) then you may be able to use Wire Shark to help you reverse engineer the signal. Maybe the information is the in the public domain and it will take a lot of research.
Good luck

You need to know a little about the VOIP protocol in use by your service provider. Then you can get the Session Initiator Protocol. With this info it may be possible to monitor the ip traffic on the line, sniffing for this to send your beacon message. Be advised I know little of this and have never tried it myself.

Are you still able to use the same analog phone plugged into the back of your modem? If so then it has to still use the same protocol, and I don't understand why the analog beacon wouldn't still work. It would just have to be on that same wire, not on the internet side of the modem. The modem is doing all of the translation in that case.
Or am I missing something? Did you have to get a new phone to use the new service?
