 Overview
(nominal) ringing voltage power supply is used to prevent switching of the 
relay during the current peak. This eliminates switching glitches and extends 
the life of the switching relay.
The off-hook detection circuit monitors the current draw on the phone line. 
When the current draw exceeds a preset value, the circuit generates an 
off-hook signal that is transmitted back to the system controller.
The message waiting circuit on message waiting line cards monitors the status 
of the message waiting signal and applies –150 V dc power to the tip lead 
when activated. This voltage is used to light the message waiting lamps on 
phones that are equipped with that feature. The high voltage supply is 
automatically disconnected when the phone goes off-hook. Newer line cards 
can sense when the message waiting lamp is not working and can report that 
information back to the system controller.
Digital line interface units
The NT8D02 digital line card provides voice and data communication links 
between a switch and modular digital telephones. These lines carry 
multiplexed PCM voice, data and signaling information as Time 
Compression Multiplexed (TCM) loops. Each TCM loop can be connected to 
a Nortel “Meridian Modular Digital” telephone.
The digital line interface card contains one or more digital line interface units. 
See Figure 5 on 
. Each digital line interface unit contains a Digital 
Line Interface Circuit (DLIC). The purpose of each DLIC is to demultiplex 
data from the DS-30X Tx channel into integrated voice and data bitstreams 
and transmit those bitstreams as Bi-Polar Return to Zero, Alternate Mark 
Inversion (BPRZ-AMI) data to the TCM loop. It also does the opposite: 
receives BPRZ-AMI bitstreams from the TCM loop and multiplexes the 
integrated voice and data bitstream onto the DS-30X Rx channel. 
The 4-wire to 2-wire conversion circuit converts the 2-wire tip and ring leads 
into a 4-wire (Tx and ground and RX and ground) signal that is compatible 
with the digital line interface circuit.
TCM loop interfaces
Each digital phone line terminates on the digital line card at a TCM loop 
interface circuit. The circuit provides transformer coupling and foreign
