Yeah the usual bullshit about me being in no way responsible if
you screw this project up or if its wrong in any way. If you stuff up,
or even if I have stuffed up, don't come bitching to me.
Introduction:
------------
Today it is common for many people to have more than one
telephone line coming into their house. There is a benefit which can be
derived by taking advantage of the the fact that two independant phone
lines are available. This is the conference call which will not cost
more than the prices of normal telephone calls, has no effect on
telephone performance, except to allow simultaneous communications
between your two telephone lines and two others. It can be built at very
low cost, it requires no external power source for its operation, and is
always ready for use whenever you are.
About the Circuit:
-----------------
In order to connect two independant phone lines without
disturbing the DC conditions on either line, a transformer must be used.
This is the heart of the circuit which allows audio information on one
line to be impressed on another line with no DC connection between them.
T1 is a telephone line coupling transformer which has been designed for
telephone line use. As shown in the schematic diagram of the conferencer
(Fig 1), each telephone line is connected to separate windings of T1
through coupling capacitors.
Note that only one telephone is required when using the
conferencer. If that phone is equipped with touch tone dialling, it will
be possible to dial telephone numbers to either line as required. If
only decadic dialling is available and it is desirable to dial a number
on line No. 2, then a second telephone can be connected across that line
for dialling purposes only. This is shown in Fig 1 as an optional
telephone set.

Construction:
------------
The parts required for this project are as follows.
- C1 - 10 uf, 50 volt electrolytic capacitor
- C2 - 10 uf, 50 volt electrolytic capacitor
- C3 - 10 uf, 15 volt tantalum capacitor
- R1 - 10K, 1/4 watt, 10% composition resistor
- R2 - 100 ohm, 1/4 watt, 10% composotion resistor
- Q1 - 2N3904 npn silicon transistor
- S1 - Dpst toggle switch
- S2 - Dpst toggle switch
- T1 - Telephone coupling transformer, Microtran T2110 or equivalent
You can use any audio coupling transformer which is rated at
about 900 ohms both primary and secondary, over the frequency range of
about 300 to 3000 Hz. When making connections between the circuit and
the telephone lines it will be necessary to observe the polarity of the
telephone line. Use a DC voltmeter to determine the polarity of each
line before wiring the telephone plugs. You must maintain correct
polarity when connecting a touch phone telephone to the line and it is
suggested to follow the original wiring of the telephone set after it is
disconnected to install switch S1. Bear in mind that an optional
telephone set connected across line No. 2 is necessary only if you do
not have touch tone dialling, and you wish to dial numbers on line 2.
The circuit board should look something like this:

Operation of the Conferencer:
----------------------------
You will be able to make and receive calls on either telephone
line by closing the appropriate switch and using the telephone set
connected across line No. 1. If you wish to initiate a conference call,
use the following procedure:
1. Close S1, and make a call on line 1. When you have established contact
with party number one, ask him/her to wait while you contact party
number two.
2. Close S2, and dial the second number from the telephone set connected
across line 1. When the second party answers, you will be able to carry
on a three way conversation.
3. When using only decadic dialling telephones, perform step two by
dialling the second number from the optional telephone set connected
across line 2 before S2 is closed. Once the number is dialled, you can
close S2 and hang up on telephone set number two and carry on the
conference call in a normal manner.
