ONS/CLASS Line Card Specifications
The ONS/CLASS Line Card supports the Message Waiting feature. A high voltage (-140 Vdc)
is applied to the Ring terminal of the line to light a neon lamp on the subscriber’s set.
OPS Line Card (North America Only)
The OPS Line Card contains six off-premises line circuits. An Off-Premises (OPS) line circuit
is used where the line goes outside the building that houses the PBX and the line may be
exposed to extraneous high voltages or induced currents.
Number of Circuits per Card: 12
Loop Detector Threshold: 15 mA (+1 mA)
Trip Battery Ringing Interval: -48 Vdc nominal
Bridged Ringers: 5 (C4 or equivalent)
PCM Coding: -law
External Loop Resistance 600 ohms
External Wire Resistance 400 ohms
Power Consumption 9.09
Message Waiting Yes.
A high voltage (-140 Vdc) is applied to the Ring terminal
of the line to light a neon lamp on the subscriber’s set.
