Ground Start Restrictions
If the lineside T1 card is used in ground start mode, certain restrictions should
be considered. Because the system treats the lineside T1 card as a standard
loop start analog line card, the ground start operation of the lineside T1 card
has operational limitations compared to typical ground start interface
equipment relating to start of dialing, distant end disconnect and glare
potential.
• Terminal equipment goes off-hook by simulating ground on tip
lead and ringing on ring lead.
