Ground Start Operation

The following section summarizes the ground start sequences for on-hook (idle), subscriber inititated outgoing
calls, subscriber received incoming calls, and busy conditions.

Idle Condition

Ground start idle condition is a Tip-lead open and Ring-lead negative from the CO and Tip lead open and
Ring-lead negative at the RT (see
Table 6.
Operation
Circuit Idle

Subscriber Initiates Outgoing Call

The following occurs when a PBX requests service for an outgoing call (see
• PBX grounds Ring lead at the RT
• FRC-754 signals the FLC-704
• FLC-704 operates a Ring-ground relay that requests dial tone from the CO (this makes the circuit busy, or
seizes it, for outgoing calls, and blocks any incoming calls prior to the PBX dialing (that is, it prevents glare
where incoming and outgoing calls may occur simultaneously on the same line). Glare occurs when both ends
of a telephone line or trunk are seized at the same time.
•
CO sends dial tone and grounds the Tip to signal the PBX to begin dialing
•
FLC-704 detects Tip-ground, closes the loop between Tip and Ring, and signals the FRC-754 to send Tip
ground to the PBX
• PBX removes the original Ring-ground condition and completes the loop (Tip and Ring)
