4.2.10 Emergency call person
Refer to the Telecommunications Act 1997.
4.2.11 Facility
Refer to Section 374(2) of the Telecommunications Act 1997.
4.2.12 Fleeting test reversal
A short duration (40 ms to 200 ms) reversal of line potential that may
be applied at any time during outgoing call set-up.
4.2.13 Hold state
CE is in the ‘hold’ state at any time from the completion of seizure
state (following the application of a loop) until release (removal of
the loop), provided that no other DC signalling activity is occurring.
4.2.14 Line Terminating Equipment
Line terminating equipment incorporates circuitry that applies an
Online condition to the PSTN line.
4.2.15 OFF-LINE
The state of the CE when it has an electrical configuration that
enables the current in the basic network loop to be at its minimum
steady-state value.
4.2.16 ON-LINE
The state of the CE when it has an electrical configuration that
enables the current in the basic network loop to be at its maximum
steady-state value.
4.2.17 Post dialling delay
The delay period between completion of dialling and receipt of a
service tone.
4.2.18 Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
That part of the Telecommunications Network which enables any
customer to establish a connection for voice frequency
communication with any other customer either automatically or with
operator assistance.
Note: The PSTN has a nominal transmission bandwidth of 3 kHz.
4.2.19 Relative level
An indication of the power handling capacity at a particular point
of a connection. Relative level is denoted by dBr. The nominal mean
absolute power level at a zero relative level point of –15 dBm (or
31.6 µW) is specified in ITU–T Rec. G.223 [16].
Note: Relative level is not a definition of the level of test tone which should
be applied or measured at the point.
