****************** * The * * Orange * * Box * * By: * * Lucky225 * ****************** Just when you thought you ran out of colored boxes. The orange box is a box that simulates the tone the central office uses to signal Call Waiting Caller I.D. boxes when theres another call on call waiting. The way Caller I.D. Call Waiting(CIDCW) works is when theres another call the central office first notifies the caller with a call waiting tone(440hz for 300ms) followed by a 'CAS'(CPE Alerting Signal) tone that tells the CIDCW box that another call is coming and to get ready to recieve FSK caller i.d. information. When the CAS tone is detected by the CIDCW box it mutes the persons handset and sends the central office an acknowledgement tone, which is usually DTMF "A" or DTMF "D". This acknowledgement tone is sent to tell the central office to send the FSK CID information. What the Orange box does is simulates a CAS tone(2130+2750hz). You can use this when talking to someone who has CIDCW, it well make there box flash 'CALL WAITING' and mute the handset, and you'll get to hear the CIDCW box acknowledge your CAS tone. IF you had a recording of an FSK signal you could play the CAS tone, when you hear the box acknowledge your signal play the FSK signal and the CIDCW box well show the caller i.d. info you sent. To get a recording of an FSK signal order Caller I.D. CallWaiting and dont plug in the call waiting box. When your on a call and you get callwaiting you well hear a callwaiting tone and a CAS tone, play DTMF 'D' or 'A' and youll actually hear the caller i.d. FSK transmission, record it. Then call up someone with CIDCW, play CAS tone, when you hear the box chirp play the recording, the caller will see the caller i.d. information you recorded on there screen. What You'll Need: Tone Dialer(It cant be the LCD dialer from radioshack, the tone will be to slow) 8.192Mhz crystal(you can get this at mouser) What to do: If you've made a redbox, this is fairly simple, open the dialer up find the 3.579545mhz crystal, it well be on the board marked as 'X1'. Desolder it and Solder in the 8.192Mhz crystal on. That's it, you're done. Usage: Turn the dialer on, press the * key, that's the CAS tone, have fun!! :)
