CO grounds tip. Near end detects the ground
and makes the trunk busy to all outgoing calls.
Ringing is superimposed on battery by the
CO.
When console answers, near end places a
low-resistance loop across the tip and ring.
If far end disconnects first, CO removes
ground from tip. If battery and ground were
reversed when call was established, battery
is removed from tip and restored to ring.
Near end detects drop in loop current and
opens loop.

When CO detects change to low-resistance
loop, it removes ringing. Some COs may
reverse battery and ground on tip and ring.
If near end disconnects first, it opens the
loop, waits 50 ms, and then reconnects the
ground detector.
CO detects drop in loop current and
removes ground from tip. If battery and
ground were reversed when call was
established, battery is removed from tip and
restored to ring.
