The ringer equivelence on most newer phones like the one you describe is very low, but all phones have some ringer equivelence. Glad it worked for you.

Public_Domain

This has been answered before, but to reiterate, yes if:

1) The phone network inside the house is physically disconnected from the phone company. Since you're getting a dial tone, it's still connected.

2) The ringer equivilence of the connected phones and wiring does not exceed the MJ ringer ...

Possible unreliability of MJ
Possible incompatability of the security system with MJ

Only way to know if it MIGHT work is to try it. But there's no gurantee that it will always work.

Or if you can borrow someone else's MJ, bring it to your house and seeif it works.

Have you tried it with MJ+ hooked up to the same computer?

Public_Domain

The three computers I've had MJ & MJ+ connected to were all running XP. XP will not be your limiting factor, bandwidth or processing speed might be.

If you're wanting factory defaults, you'll need to reimage it. Files and instructions are available on the HP website.

Tried to search for status lights with out success. So perhaps someone can enlighten me, what do they mean and should they be on steady or flashing? Both of mine flash, but MJ+ seems to be working. Just curious. Thanks

Public_Domain

Hmm, but can I change the SN to the same as another working one and have two with the same number?

Can I change the SN to the same as my MJ+ SN and have a MJ for when I travel?

Just random thoughts.

Nailgunner,

Can you enlighten us on exactly what you mean by, "competing product for a one-time charge of "significantly less than" the $29.95"?

Thanks!

Public_Domain

Somebody, details please! This may save me from buying MJ+

Public_Domain

If you can wait for Black Friday and you're willing to brave the crowds, Radio Shack has had the regular MJ for $10 off on Black Friday. Not saying that they will again this year or include the MJ+, but Black Friday is only a couple weeks away. Might be worth the wait.

Public_Domain

If you have a voltage meter, I'd check that you have power coming out of the power supply cord. No power, usually means a bad power supply, but not always.

Public_Domain

You'd be wanting a USB modem, an example is a follows:

USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwardly compatiable with 2.0 & 1.0. That said, I have no experience with using it on 3.0.

Public_Domain

I've been getting a memory leak/out of memory error about once a week since I switched to a dedicated EB1006 machine that only runs MJ, printer and my TV. I need to setup an auto reboot to run every week, should fix it, just haven't gotten around to it.

Public_Domain

The one other thing I would recommend trying is a powered hub for the MagicJack. I had some continuous ringing issues that went away, when I switched to a powered hub. Everything had worked before till I switched computers. Don't ask me why it work, just know that it did.(Thanks Joe)

Public_Domain

I've had the problem twice. First time I added a second phone and thought it was ringer equivellance. The last time I added a powered hub.

Tony,

The units are Alpsman scratch & dents. One worked for a short while till the microdrive crashed, the other one I bought for parts, mainly the microdrive. The second one did not come with a power supply. I have checked the power supply with a volt meter and it appears to be O.K. It acts like ...

Public_Domain

O.K. I have an HP 5520, actually two of them, sometimes they boot when I push the power button, sometimes they don't, more often then not, they don't, no lights, no nothing, no matter how many times I press the button. Tried jumpering across the switch, that doesn't work, so I'm assuming it must be ...

Public_Domain

Joe,

Was out of town, finally got back in to try what you suggested. Whoopie, it works! FYI, went back through and rechecked, it was the powered hub that made the difference. Thanks for the assitance.

Public_Domain

I thought I had this fixed, but switched computers and it's back! When I get an in coming call the MJ screen shows Accept/Reject, but if I pick up a phone nothing happens. Phones continue to ring until I reboot the computer. Thought it was an issue with my phone, but it went away before when I added ...

Public_Domain

Ahkbal,

When my TC worked it worked fine, I've had other issues with it, mostly related to the microdrives. Alpman pretty much had the 5520 figured out. If you haven't made any changes to it, it should work. Have you tried the MJ on another computer? Some of the issues you mention can be ISP ...

Public_Domain

I don't believe that the 5520 is upgradeable. Ram is soldered to the board.

Public_Domain

Are you using Clonzilla on the 5520 or on another computer? If you're using another computer, what are you using for the hardware, the IDE/CF adapter or something else? Thanks

Public_Domain

O.K. I finally got my TC up and running again and I want to make a copy of the drive in case the drive dies again. I checked here:

http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/back-up-image-on-a-hp-t5710-t8987.html

and it talks about a "HP thinstate capture" that's in the Control Panel. I'm running a custom ...

Public_Domain

1.8" drive is via USB cable adapter. I figured the 1" drive would work on it as well, but it doesn't seem to, trying to figure if the problem is my adapter or what. Guess I'll disconnect the IDE adapter from the Thin Client and connect it to the desktop, now I just gotta figure out if I can still ...

Public_Domain

O.K. HOw do you guys copy a microdrive? Do you have to use the IDE/CF adapter and cable? I've got a USB/CF adapter from a 1.8" hardrive, but the computer doesn't see anything there. It sees the 1.8" drive fine, swap it for a 1.0" and nothing in My Computer or Disk Management, on XP.

I've got a USB ...

johnvan - did you get my PM?

Public_Domain

Thanks. Not seeing where it's a quantity of two. But that is a better price than I've seen else were, except the one that didn't show up ; )

So are you just thinking about using a regular CF card instead? I was trying to get a USB drive to work along those same lines, but no luck. I'd be curious to ...

O.K. looks like the microdrive in my t5520 died. Alpsman hasn't been responding to e-mails for over a month. Found the same drives on e-bay, but they've just charge my credit card and don't ship anything, causing me the hassle of dealing with e-bay and my credit card! So I'm asking, does anybody ...

Public_Domain

jeison,

Where would one find a copy of XPe for 5520? I thought they only came with CE and Alpman had his own customized image.

Public_Domain

I've been trying to reach him for over a month myself, and I honestly believe that something must have happened, I just hope it isn't anything too serious. Having said that, I would like to believe that this community can come together and we can help each other out to keep our "Alpman" equipment up ...

Public_Domain

Does anyone have an Alpman 5520 disk image? I've tried to contact him directly, without any luck. I know this isn't his fulltime gig, I assume he's got a real job or going to school and I'm trying to get one of his 5520's up and running after a microdrive crash. Thanks

Public_Domain

O.K. I've been playing around since I first posted and I've gotten things to work by plugging a splitter to the MJ and connecting two phones. My guess is that the ringer equivelence is too low on the Uniden. With the Uniden and the Vtech both plugged in, everything is fine. If anybody has another ...

Public_Domain

Tried using my Uniden 5.8Ghz cordless phone with my MJ becuse it has multiple handsets. When I get an incoming call, the phone continues to ring after I pick it up. Don't have that probem with a cheap Vtech single wireless handset. Any suggestions? Uniden was working fine with Vonage. Any help would ...
