An impedance matching circuit (54) and a summing network (42) are utilized to both couple the signal from the analog telephone device (22) to the analog input of a key service unit (10) and match the impedance therebetween. A switch, (46) is provided to disconnect the analog port of a digital telephone device (12) that is compatible with the key service unit (10). When the analog telephone device (22) is in the off-hook mode, a switch control (52) opens the switches (48) and (50) of switch (46). The digital telephone device (12) is under the control of a digital transmission line (20) to maintain an analog interconnection in the key service unit (10). The analog telephone device (22) operates on an independent loop termination with an independent loop current. The signal generated in the loop is summed with the analog port (18) of the key service unit (10) through the summing network (42). In this manner, an inexpensive analog telephone device (22) with a non-compatible termination requirement can be utilized on a digital telephone system such as a key service unit (10) or a PBX.Other References
