  • Patent number: 5027391
    Abstract: A call management system connected locally between a central office telephone company switching station (CO) and a conventional single telephone line having multiple extensions provides call paging and intercom capabilities between the multiple telephone extensions. An integrated voltage generator supplies a high voltage, local ringing voltage for ringing the local extensions independent from the CO and a low voltage talk or "battery" feed to the local telephone when they are operated independently from the CO. Line splitting apparatus temporarily separates the CO from the local extensions when the local ringing voltage is generated by the integrated voltage generator and injected into the local telephone extensions. A hold device mimics an active local telephone off the hook, thereby keeping a call from the CO holding when the local telephones are being used in the paging or intercom modes.
