APPENDIX A. LINE INTERFACE
1. Overall LIU description
The LIU (Line Interface Unit) has all the telephone line interface functions and contains a telephone unit which is
powered by the machine when the machine is switched on, and is alternatively powered from the telephone line
when the machine is switched off.
The line interface contains filters, a current sensor, TEL/FAX (TF) relay, Off-Hook (OH) relay and ring detection cir-
cuit. The TF relay switches the line connection either to the internal telephone unit or to the modem. The OH (Off-
hook) relay switches the line either to the external telephone and the ring detection circuit or to the internal dialling
circuit.
In standby mode, both relays are switched down to connect the line to the external telephone and the ring detection
circuit. When the internal handset is picked up, the hook switch goes up to connect the line to the dialler and
speech circuit for dialling and voice communication. The OH relay is only switched up when the ‘‘On Hook Dial’’ key
is pressed for On-hook dialling.
The internal telephone unit contains the handset interface, speech circuit, and a dialler (a single chip PCD3344 mi-
crocontroller with built-in CPU, ROM, RAM and DTMF tone generator).
The single tone signals, CNG, CED, dial tone, and busy tone are detected by the modem on the FCE through a
high impedance transformer.
