After an external phone has seized the PSTN line (1) some loop current is drawn (2) and the ex-
ternal loop detection signal (EXTLOOP = 0) is activated. If the FCU LIU is then connected (Off-
Hook) to the line (3) (LIU_HOOK = 1, PD=1), the external loop current is removed (EXTLOOP=0)
while the internal loop current is drawn by the LIU(INTLOOP=1). The switching from the external
to the internal equipment may introduce a short loop loss. If the external phone is now dropped,
no loop current change occurs(4). At the release of the internal loop current, due to going On-Hook
(HOOK = 0, PD=0), the loop current is removed (5) followed by deactivating the loop current signal
(INTLOOP = 1)

External (Phone) Loop Detection
External Loop Detection is valid during On-Hook only. If internal On-Hook (LIU_HOOK = 0) and
an external phone is Off-Hook, a loop current is drawn and the loop detection signal is activated
(EXTLOOP = 0). The external loop current is equivalent to the loop current. Due to other LIU ac-
tivities (Incoming Ring, Pulse Dial etc.) the loop detection signal (EXTLOOP) may change errone-
ously !
