As for the question of the Mail Server would you need to know the name that we are using for it? I just edited the values in the log above to exclude any mention of our environment for security reasons.
Yes, if the majority of messages are to G-Suite users it only makes sense to deliver directly. This link: Route outgoing SMTP relay messages through Google - Google Workspace Admin Help is more specific to the G-Suite SMTP Relay Service and how to configure it.
Sorry for the delay. I asked my co-worker and apparently we would need to keep this Microsoft relay server in place. He is sure that the mail server we are using should not be blocking the phone system emails from going through. I guess the main thing is that everything else is going through fine except for the phone emails. The mail server specifically allows:
@specificdomain.com
I did a telnet and a SMTP test send mail from the Phone System Windows 7 machine to the in house mail server. Originally this did not work, but it looks like we were using the wrong commands. Either way found this link here and tried the steps listed:
All output on the telnet is as shown in the link and I was able to recieve an email from the phone system through telnet into my work email account successfully, which means the mail is successfully going where it needs to.
Although most of us take it completely for granted, the telephone you see in a restaurant or office is one of the most amazing devices ever created. If you want to talk to someone, all you have to do is pick up the phone and dial a few digits. You are instantly connected to that person, and you can have a two-way conversation through a telephone call.
Surprisingly, a telephone is one of the simplest devices you have in your house. It is so simple because the telephone connection to your house has not changed in nearly a century. If you have an antique phone from the 1920s, you could connect it to the wall jack in your house and it would work fine!
Bell went on to establish the Bell Telephone Company, now known as AT&T, and through the telephone allowed us to communicate over long distances and eventually paved the way for mobile phones. In his lifetime, Bell was also able to make the first transcontinental telephone call. From New York City, he called Watson, who was in San Francisco.
Most people find that annoying, so any "real" phone contains a device called a duplex coil or something functionally equivalent to block the sound of your own voice from reaching your ear. A modern telephone also includes a bell so it can ring and a touch-tone keypad and frequency generator. A "real" phone looks like this:
Still, it's pretty simple. In a modern phone there is an electronic microphone, amplifier and circuit to replace the carbon granules and loading coil. The mechanical bell is often replaced by a speaker and a circuit to generate a pleasant ringing tone. But a regular telephone remains one of the simplest devices ever.
The telephone network starts in your house. A pair of copper wires run from a box at the road to a box (often called an entrance bridge) at your house. From there, the pair of wires is connected to each phone jack in your house (usually using red and green wires).
If your house has two phone lines, then two separate pairs of copper wires run from the road to your house. The second pair is usually colored yellow and black inside your house. (See "What do the little boxes that the phone company has around our neighborhood do?" for a description of the telephone boxes and wires that you see by the road.)
Along the road runs a thick cable packed with 100 or more copper pairs. Depending on where you are located, this thick cable will run directly to the phone company's switch in your area, or it will run to a box about the size of a refrigerator that acts as a digital concentrator.
It then combines your voice with dozens of others and sends them all down a single wire (usually a coax cable or a fiber-optic cable) to the phone company office. Either way, your line connects to a line card at the switch so you can hear the dial tone when you pick up your phone.
If you are calling someone connected to the same office, then the switch simply creates a loop between your phone and the phone of the person you called. If it's a long-distance call, then your voice is digitized and combined with millions of other voices on the long-distance network.
Your voice normally travels over a fiber-optic line to the office of the receiving party, but it may also be transmitted by satellite or by microwave towers. (See "How does a long-distance call work?" for a more detailed description.)
Not only is a telephone a simple device, but the connection between you and the phone company is even simpler. In fact, you can easily create your own intercom system using two telephones, a 9-volt battery (or some other simple power supply) and a 300-ohm resistor that you can get for cheap. You can wire it up like this:
Your connection to the phone company consists of two copper wires. Usually they are red and green. The green wire is common, and the red wire supplies your phone with 6 to 12 volts DC at about 30 milliamps. If you think about a simple carbon granule microphone, all it is doing is modulating that current (letting more or less current through, depending on how the sound waves compress and relax the granules), and the speaker at the other end "plays" that modulated signal. That's all there is to it!
The easiest way to wire up a private intercom like this is to go to a hardware or discount store and buy a 100-foot phone cord. Cut it, strip the wires and hook in the battery and resistor as shown. (Most cheap phone cords contain only two wires, but if the one you buy happens to have four, then use the center two.) When two people pick up the phones together, they can talk to each other just fine. This sort of arrangement will work at distances of up to several miles apart.
In a modern phone system, the operator has been replaced by an electronic switch. When you pick up the phone, the switch senses the completion of your loop and it plays a dial tone sound so you know that the switch and your phone are working. (For more information on tones, see How Guitars Work.) The dial tone sound is simply a combination of 350-hertz tone and a 440-hertz tone, and it sounds like this.
To allow the transmission of more long-distance calls, the frequencies transmitted are limited to a bandwidth of about 3,000 hertz. All of the frequencies in your voice below 400 hertz and above 3,400 hertz are eliminated. That's why someone's voice on a phone has a distinctive sound. Compare these two voices:
Call up someone you know and play the 1,000-hertz sound file on your computer. The person will be able to hear the tone clearly. The person will also be able to hear the 2,000- and 3,000-hertz tones. However, the person will have trouble hearing the 4,000-hertz tone, and will not hear the 5,000- or 6,000-hertz tones at all. That's because the phone company clips them off completely.
You have two choices. Call the old alarm system company and find out how it was instaled and see what wire you should not have cut. Or call verizon and they can sort out what you did 1-800-VERIZON and they can get your phone up and working again.
the poster said they cut the wires, and then the phone went out. In the old days of copper phone lines I don't remember if it was yellow/black or red/white but one of them was not even necessary. I could remember when I ran wire for my apartment when I was young. Today I couldn't tell you how the phones work.
The alarm panel has to be first to seize the line in case if a break-in. Wherever the dial tone originates at the demarc(NID, ONT, Cable modem) there will typically be a two pair wire that runs to the alarm panel. The red/green pair will connect to the dial tone first at the demarc and feed the alarm panel. The alarm panel then feeds back to the demarc on the yellow/black pair and connects to the rest of the inside wire feeding the house. This way if you are on the phone during a break-in the alarm panel will take over the line and dial out to the Alarm Company dispatch center.
Thanks so much for your help! I was able to figure it out. I only had a blue and a white/blue wires spliced to a green and a white/green wires at the NID. All I had to do was add the green wires to the blue wires at the phone jack.
Voice over IP converts your voice into a digital signal, compresses it, and sends it over the internet. This allows you to make calls using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.
A VoIP phone system transforms standard phone calls into data packets that are transmitted over the internet, rather than traditional landlines or mobile networks. It works by taking the analog audio signals from your voice and converting them into digital signals sent over your high-speed internet connection.
VoIP uses modern internet infrastructure to convert voice into data packets that are transmitted flexibly across broadband connections. VoIP systems provide businesses with significant cost savings, mobility with remote access, and convenient calling features.
When an employee calls a customer, they pick up the handset and dial them just as they normally would. The IP phone (or app) travels through your Local Area Network (LAN) switch and business router before reaching the VoIP service provider. From there, the VoIP provider establishes the call.
If the network path to the called party supports a digital voice signal, then the call quality is upgraded to high definition. Otherwise, a VoIP provider connects the call over the Public Switched Telephone Network.
