NE-425QE 1 network, which contains the necessary
apparatus for automatic line equalization. In most
telephone sets all connections to the set are made
on the network terminals. The NE-425QE 1

no electrical connection to the network circuits.
The NE-425B (MD) or NE-425E (MD) networks
are superseded by the NE-425QE1 network.
