Viking GLS-12 Technical Practice Download Page 1

Model 

GLS-12

is designed to allow up to

12 standard telephone sets, multi-line
key systems or other loop start equip-
ment to be connected to and operate on
two-wire ground start CO trunk lines.
The 

GLS-12

provides the CO ground

start line with the signalling required to
draw dial tone when the loop start equip-
ment goes off-hook. Incoming calls are
not affected by the 

GLS-12

and ring

directly to the loop start devices.

Use Loop Start Devices on 

Ground Start Trunks
