Telephone system for transmitting either a dial pulse or a dual-tone multi-frequency signal along a telephone line

摘要

A telephone system for transmitting either a dial pulse signal or a dual-tone multifrequency signal along a telephone line. This telephone system includes a switching means for changing between a KEY signal from a key board and a control signal from a CPU. When a power interruption sensing means senses that the external power voltage is below a predetermined voltage, the switching means shunts from the control signal to the KEY signal and transmits either the DTMF signal or the DP signal along the telephone line.
