In each digital line card, a digital loop transceiver operates in a master mode to couple the digital data bus of the PABX to the subscriber line via a subscriber line interface circuit in response to control signals provided by the PABX on the control bus thereof. In each digital subscriber set, a digital loop transceiver operates in a slave mode to couple the subscriber set to the subscriber line via a subscriber line interface circuit and to provide the several control signals required by the other components thereof. The digital loop transceivers provide communication on each of two communication channels, with the digital data words of the first channel being treated the same as the digital data words of the second channel.Other References
