Direct inward dial operation

Incoming calls

An incoming call from the CO places a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads. See Figure 120 on page 573 and Figure 121 on page 574.

Dial pulses or DTMF tones are then presented from the CO. When the called party answers, the universal trunk card reverses battery and ground on the tip and ring leads to the CO. The trunk is arranged for first party release. The CO releases the trunk by removing the low-resistance loop, at which time normal battery and ground are restored at the near-end. This also applies to incoming tie trunk calls from a far-end PBX.

Note: The near-end can be configured for immediate start, delay dial, or wink start.

Two-way, loop dial repeating, TIE trunk operation

Incoming calls

In an incoming call configuration, the far-end initiates a call by placing a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads. See Figure 122 on page 575 and Figure 123 on page 576.

This causes a current to flow through the battery feed resistors in the trunk circuit. Address signaling is then applied by the far-end in the form of DTMF tones or dial pulses. When the called party answers, an answer supervision signal is sent by the software, causing the System to reverse battery and ground on the tip and ringleads to the far-end. Far-end disconnect is initiated by opening the loop while the near-end disconnect is initiated by restoring normal battery and ground. The operation represented in Figure 122 on page 575 and Figure 123 on page 576 also applies to incoming DID trunk calls from a CO.

Note: Where no near-end answer supervision is provided, the party at the far-end hangs up after recognizing near-end call termination.
