Each of four interfaces provides the transmission of voice signals over two- or four- wire scheme as well as the signaling processing over two input and two output lines. The unit can be used to provide communication between different PBXs with E&M signaling and to establish voice-frequency channels with two- or four-wire termination.
  • Page 92 User’s manual FlexGain Plex, V2 Each of four unit interfaces has two input sensors and two actuating mechanisms (switches). Each sensor detects the grounding of a negative M60V potential performed by a coupled device. Each switch controls the negative potential fed from the coupled device. In the active mode, the switch grounds the potential to the GATS line (Ground PBX) while it does not change it in the passive mode.
