A port circuit consists of a coder/decoder

Ringing Application Circuit: This circuit receives ringing voltage from the power supply. I t m o n i t o r s r i n g i n g v o l t a g e a n d c u r r e n t a n d g e n e r a t e s s i g n a l s t o t h e o n - b o a r d microprocessor indicating zero ringing voltage and current. It also detects when a terminal user has lifted the receiver during ringing preventing the application of ringing to the terminal’s handset receiver.

Port I/0 Circuit: T h i s c i r c u i t i n c l u d e s b u s e x p a n d e r s c o n n e c t i n g t h e o n - b o a r d microprocessor a n d t h e p o r t c i r c u i t s . It receives c o m m a n d s f r o m the on - board microprocessor and distributes them to the individual port circuits. It also accesses the port circuit scan points and passes the information to the on-board microprocessor.

-48 V To -24 V Power Conditioner: This circuit converts -48 V power from the power supply into a conditioned source of -24 V power for the electronic battery feed circuits.

Port Circuits: Each port circuit is identical.

(codec), h:ybrid circuit, battery feed circuit, and ring relay.

The codec is a 4-wire circuit that converts the NPEs output to an analog signal. Likewise, it converts the analog signal from a central office trunk to a PCM data signal to the NPE. The hybrid circuit converts the codec 4-wire analog signal to a 2-wire analog signal that is connected to the central office trunk by the line transformer.

The battery feed circuit provides talking battery to the voice terminal. It also detects when a receiver is lifted, and provides the message waiting signal by periodically reducing the feed voltage to zero.

The ring relay provides the interface between the ringing application circuit and the port circuit. It causes ringing to turn on and off.

Note: The TN742 can be used instead of the ZTN78 Tip Ring CP. The TN742 supports up to five bridged single-line voice terminals; however, only two can be off-hook at one time. The ZTN78 does not support bridged terminals. In addition, the TN742 supports out-of-building, extended, and off-premises stations, while the ZTN78 does not. The ZTN78 supports only a 1.2 Ringer Equivalency Number (REN).
