6. POLARITY INVERSION ON
EXCHANGE
The Fig. A-16 shows the standard operation of an exchange in order to
explain polarity inversion. This example is for an exchange operating in
Japan. The polarity on the calling side is reversed simultaneously with the
called party becoming offhook. The original polarity is restored simulta-
neously with the end of the telephone conversation and the called party
becoming onhook.
On some facsimiles, the characteristics of the telephone line are used when
to perform auto-dialing.
Polarity is not reversed on some exchanges overseas and some private
branch exchanges.
