ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for monitoring telephone lines by bridging across each line between a telephone central office or private branch exchange (PBX) and a telephone set. The lines are scanned periodically for OFF-HOOK, DIALING or IN-RING condition to determine line status. OFF-HOOK without DIALING or IN-RING condition for more than a preselected period is considered one form of an alarm condition. Dialing signals of certain predetermined numbers is considered an alarm. A computer is provided to store line status information, preset numbers, personel identification (PIN) numbers and telephone set locations to provide a universal software controlled monitoring of locations, telephone sets and personnel whereever telephone sets are located.
