If near-end station hangs up first, a high-resistance loop is
presented to the system.
If far-end station hangs up first, the system detects
disconnect signalling from the far end, removes timeslot
assignments, and restores normal ground/battery polarity
to the near-end station.
No battery current drawn.
Near-end station goes off hook. Battery current is drawn
causing detection of off-hook state. The system
determines unit terminal number (TN) and assigns
message timeslots.
Low-resistance loop
Dial tone is applied to the near-end station from the
system.
Call request
Dial tone
Addressing signals
Outpulsing Near-end station dials number (loop pulsing or DTMF
tones).
Dial tone removed
The system detects start of dialing and removes dial tone.
Ringback (or busy)
The system decodes addressing, routes call, and supplies
ringback tone to near-end station if far-end station is on
hook. (Busy tone supplied if far-end station is busy.)
When call is answered (either absolute or assumed
answer, as programmed), ringback tone is removed, call
is cut through to far-end station, and battery is reversed
to near-end station for duration of call.
The system detects drop in loop current, removes timeslot
assignments, sends disconnect signal to far-end station,
and restores normal ground/battery polarity to the near-
end station. Line card unit is then ready for the next call.
High-
resistance
loop
Near-end station detects battery reversal and goes on
hook. Line card unit is then ready for the next call.

Note 1: Battery reversal signalling is a supervisory feature that is only used when the near-end station
originates the call.
