Hi Rick. One of the things this device is supposed to do is to track the jack in your office back to the pairs in your closet, or wherever you make connections, so yes, that is what it's supposed to do. However, I had trouble with this particular device in that it chewed through batteries faster than I could replace them and it didn't provide a signal that was strong enough for me to pick up from one floor to another. I ended up returning this and getting a similar device (which is not at hand, so I can't give you the exact make and model, sorry). I think it had the words "Fox and Hound" in the name. Anyway, it's the right type of tool, but I wouldn't buy this one. Hi Rick.

It will trace the lines from either end to the other - from the jack to the come in, or vice-versa, but it should NOT be connected to the outside phone line, so no, it won't help you find which of the incoming lines is the correct pair, unless the correct lines are already connected to a different jack, and you connect the generator to that jack, and find which pair it is. But it can't tell which pair goes to which incoming line. For that, you need to identify the actual pairs, connect a phone, and see what line it is by dialing out. I usually dial the number I think I'm calling from, so a busy signal would tell me I have the right pair, and ringing would indicate I do not.

Yes, this is just a basic tone generator. It is quite cheaply made but does the job. I've been using mine for over a year now - fingers crossed.

Yes, you can tone out the pair on the first jack and transfer to the second jack

I see no problem, what you would have to do is just plug the phone line into the answering machine then the answering machine to the phone jack.

No, it will not. That is really a function of the phone service you have. Whether you have one line or two lines, the phone company will see a "busy" on the line that is in use. Only if you have two lines, and the ability with your phone service to "call forward if busy", would a call to one line be able to be answered by this particular telephone on the second line.

No, the phones operate on only a shared phone line, and unless the two homes have the same phone line, I do no see this working.

I'd think so, the module connects between you incoming phone line and any phones there after. This implyes your phones will work as they did before the loop thru the FON. DOORANSWERING SYSTEM.

I don see why not, it is essentially like having another phone jack installed on the same line, much like you can have a phone jack in each room of your home all on the same line

If you have placed mulitiple sensors in different rooms on the same landline, then it should work fine. As the intruder entered into different rooms and triggered the alarm, it should call you and then there should be enough delay before the intruder entered another room to again trigger the alarm and call you. If you had placed the sensors in the same room then there could be a problem where the units tried to call at the same time and might conflict with each other.

Hello Kelly, I bought this item (and returned it) because I thought it was a telephone. It is not a phone, it is a handset...you may have realized this, I did not. If I recall, it was a very simple piece of equipment and would probably not have had a jack...

No. You just need to pick up more of the splitter boxes that came with the system. You can connect 4 more phones to each splitter box.

Think so, i have 1 landline phone and this is 2 nd phone, same #. Just plugged it into phone jack on wall.

Yes - this should work just fine and has the advantage of making the phone and ID unit independent of each other. Of course many id units have an input to connect the phone line and an output to connect the phone -thus everything is inline. That may work for you as well (instead of using this extra connector).

Yes, It will. obviously assuming both lines run through the same phone. The actual point of interaction between your phone and the headset is the headset docking station cord plugging into your phone's handset receiver jack, and plugging your handset phone cord into the actual docking station. This relationship merely shifts how calls are heard, not where they are routed to.

I have never physically tried this but with any devices that uses that type you jack. You have to make sure the size of the jack is correct so that it will match your device.

Nope, the jack is different, it's smaller and wont work with normal phonesthis is specifically designed for two-way radiosQuality wise this a 5/10 product.

It hooks to the phone style jack. Just be careful because they switched sizes of the jack. I bought this to replace an older model that quit working and the plugs are now different sizes. One is more like the size of an ethernet jack and the other is smaller like a telephone jack. Pretty stupid to have changed sizes at some point during the production run.

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

Sorry for the late reply but the responses in the comments are correct. As long as the jack is the same it will work without any issue.
