548 NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card
Power forlighting the message waiting lights is provided by either the
peripheral equipment power supply or the ringing generator. Logic on the
message waiting line card interrupts the –150 V dc signal at 1 Hz intervals
to provide a flashing message waiting light.
Technical summary or
Electrical specifications

Analog line interface

The NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line Card meets the EIA/TA464
standard for ONS TypeII line cards. Table211 "Analog message waiting
line card - line interface unit electrical characteristics" (page 548) shows a
summary of the analog line interface unit electrical characteristics.
