1.4.2 CO Trunk Cards

Loop Start Central Office Trunk (LCOT) Card (KX-T96180);
This card interfaces 8 central office loop start trunks and the TDM bus. It provides 8 CO lines
to the system per LCOT card. With loop start, a line is seized by bridging through a resistance
between the tip and ring (both wires) of the telephone line.
Ground Start Central Office Trunk (GCOT) Card (KX-T96181);
This card interfaces 8 central office trunks and the TDM bus. It provides 8 CO lines to the
system per GCOT card.
This card uses a way of signaling on subscriber trunks in which one side of the two wire trunk
(typically the "Ring" conductor of the Tip and Ring) is momentarily grounded to get a dial
tone.
Note
• There are two types of switched trunks one can typically lease from a local phone
company — Loop Start and Ground Start.
You must be careful to order the correct type of trunk from your local phone company
and correctly install your telephone system at your end — so that they both match.
