ELECTRONIC KEY TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Abstract of the Disclosure
Each of the station sets in the system generates a
continuous, current-modulated digital data stream carrying
information concerning the status of pushbutton-actuated
switches associated with a particular service or feature.
This data stream is transmitted via a phantom pair over
standard four-wire cable to an associated station card in
the key service unit, which receives and decodes the data,
implements any service requested at the associated station
set by closure of a pushbutton-actuated switch in the station
set, and generates a continuous voltage-modulated digital data
stream carrying instructions for the connection of the station
set speakerphone to either the first or second talk path
formed by the first and second conductor pairs in the standard
four-wire cable, for energization of light-emitting diodes
associated with the pushbutton-actuated switches in the station
set, and for controlling background music transmission to the
associated station set. This data stream is transmitted via
the aforementioned phantom pair to the station set, which
receives and decodes the data and carries out the instructions
contained therein. Each station card and each station set
incorporates a stored-program digital microcomputer for de-
coding the received data and for generating the data to be
transmitted. Each station card also includes a series of cross-
points in the form of field-effect transistors, the gate elec-
trodes of which are connected to crosspoint latches controlled
by the microcomputer. Each crosspoint has an associated input
terminal in a status multiplexer which receives data from the

passive port to which the associated crosspoint is connected.
Each crosspoint and its associated status multiplexer input
terminal constitute an active port. Each station card also
includes at least one passive port for hotline connection to
an active port of another station card or cards, and may also
include a passive port for connection to the active ports of one
or more link cards. Other system component circuits are dis-
posed on line cards having a single passive port, an internal
conference card having a single passive port, a page card
having multiple passive ports, a register card or cards con-
nected to the link card or cards, and a tone generator card.

Cross-Reference To Related Applications
The invention which is the subject matter of the present
application is advantageously employed with the inventions dis-
closed and claimed in Canadian patent application Serial No.
319,744 entitled COMPUTER CONTROLLED KEY TELEPHONE STATION SET
filed on January 16, 1979, in the name of Frank A. Coviello
and in Canadian patent application Serial No. 304,660 entitled
COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT filed on June 2, 1978, in the names of
Alan Bloch, Frank A. Coviello, Ira Guzik and Candido Puebla.
Ba~kground of the Invention
In various known key telephone systems, the implementa-
tion of the many available services or features required addi-
tional circuits in each station set and additional cond ctors
running from each station set to the key service unit(KSU).
It is not uncommon to have as many as 50 pairs of conductors
connecting each station set to the KSU. Consequently, the time,
'~

i~71~
effort and cost of installing, modifying or moving such key
telephone sets has become excessive.
Some attempts have been made to overcome these problems
by implementing key telephone service features by means of
signal multiplexing techniques, thus achieving substantial
reductions in the number of conductor pairs required for conn-
ection of each key telephone set to the KSU. Although this
approach hæs alleviated the cost and space problems somewhat,
it has been only moderately successful. As before, the addi-
tion of telephone services or features required circuit modi-
fications in the KSU and in the station sets. Also, such
signal multiplexing systems frequently employ a common control
circuit to supervise signalling and control for all of the
station sets. Thus, failure of the common control circuit
causes the entire system to fail.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is embodied iD and carried out by
an electronic key telephone system in which telephone services
or features are implemented by switching in the key service
unit in response to signals received from the station sets, and
signals received by the station sets from the key service unit
control energization of visual indicators and connection of
internal circuitry in the station sets. The key service unit
includes a distributed space-division matrix with active and
passive ports, and has distributed time-division multiplexed
control with interleaved duplex signalling between the key
service unit and the station sets. All system options are
effected in the key service unit. Each station set is connected
to the key service unit by only four conductors, which form two
voice communication channels. The duplex signalling and the

li78~Z
power transmission to each station set are both accomplished
over ~ phantom pair lncorporating the four conductors which
form the voice communication channels.

Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Applicants' electronic key telephone system (EKTS)
incorporates the novel concept of a distributed space-division
matrix formed by active and passive ports. An active port is
defined as one which has the ability to seize a passive port,
but cannot be seized by any port. A passive port is defined as
one which has the ability to be seized by an active port, but
cannot itself seize any port. In applicants' system, any active
port can seize any passive port to which it is connected. Any
active port may be connected to any passive port by means of
backplane wirinq in the cabinet of the key service unit. The
sequence of events involved in the seiz~ng of a passive port by
an active port are as follows: (1) interrogating the passive
port by the active port to determine its status (seized or not
seized); if the interrogated passive port is not seized, (2)
closing a talk signal path from the active port to the passive
port; (3) signalling from the active port to the passive port
that it has been seized; and (4) signalling from the passive
port to all other active ports to which it is connected that

1~7~
it has been seized. ~f, upon interrogation of the passive
port bv the active port, it is found that the passive port
has been seized, the interrogating active port will not be
able to seize the passive port except in the special case of
an active port which is capable of pre-emptively seizing the
passive port, i.e., in spite of the ~assive port having
already been seized bv another active port.
Referring specifically to the first preferredembx~ment
of applicants' EKTS shown in Figure 1, the system includes a
variable number of electronic key telephone sets 100-1, ....
100-N the details of which are set forth in cross-referenced
application Serial No. 319,744. The key service unit KSU-l
is formed by a variable number of station cards 200-1, .....
200-N equal to the number of station sets; a variable number
of line cards 300-1, ..., 300-K; an optional page card 400, a
tone generator card 500, and an optional conference card 600.
Power is provided to KSU-l by a power supplv (not shown) gener-
ating outputs of ~25 volts DC, -25 volts DC, and -5 volts DC,
and ~ower is provided to each station set 100-1, ... , 100-N
through its associated station card 200-1, ...., 200-N via tle
auad-wire connection, which is described in detail in cross-
referenced application Serial No. 304,660. Each station caxd
200 has an arra~ of active ports A and a numker of passive ports
P. In this embodiment, each station card active port A is oon-
nected either to a passive port P in another station card 200,
or to the passive port P in a line card 300, or to a passive
port P in the page card 400, or to the passive port P in the in-
ternal conference card 600. Each page card ~ne outnut is o~n-
nected to the page inputs of one of four groups of station ~rds

li78~
200. Tone generator card 500 provides the station cards 200
with audible and visual indicator signals for traDsmission to
the station sets 100. In this embodiment, all internal calling
is accomplished ~ithout dialing by actuation of a single station
set pushbutton or key to establish a direct connection through
the associated station card and the backplane wiring to another
station card and its associated station set. This embodiment
employs a non-blocking matrix arrangement that assures connection
to the desired internal station set regardless of the amount
of traffic on the system (if that station set is not busy).
Referring specifically to the second preferred embodiment
of applicants' EKTS shown in Figure 2, the system includes a
variable number of electronic key telephone sets 100-1, ....
100-N as in the system of Figure 1. The key service unit KSU-2
is formed by a variable number of station cards 200, a variable
number of line cards 300, a variable number of register cards
600, a variable number of link cards 700, a tone generator card
500, and (optionally) a page card 400. System power is provided
as in the embodiment of Figure 1, Each station card 200 has an
array of active ports A and a number of passive ports P. In
this embodiment, each station card active port A is connected
either to the passive port P in a line card 300, or to the
passive port P in a link card 700, or to a passive port P of one
other station card 200, or to a passive port P in the page card
400. Each link card active port A is connected either to the
passive port P of a line card 300, or to a passive port P in a
station card 200, or to a passive port P in the page card 400.
Each page cardzone output is connected to the page inputs
of one of four groups of statioD cards 200. Tone generator
3~ card 500 provides audible and visual indicator signals to the
station cards 200, the line cards 300, and the link cards 700

11787~Z
for transmission to the station sets 100 and to the C.O. line,
as may be appropriate. In this embodiment, most internal
calling is accomplished by dialing from a station set 100
through the associated station card 200 and a link card 700
to another station card 200 and its associated station set.
However, each station card does have a hotline connection from
one active port A through the backplane wiring to a passi~e
port P in one other station card. It is also possible to seize
a CØ line which does not bave its line card's passive port P
connected to an active port A of a particular station card by
having that station card seize a link card and then seize that
CØ line via the link card.
In both embodiments, there is an absolute minimum of
common equipment, and so the systems are never burdened with
more circuitry or hardware than is actually needed for any
given installation. Each system also has the capability of
allowing two groups of users to be separated by lines and
stations so that one group has CØ lines that do not appear at
stations in the other group. This configuration has application
when two or more departments or business entities in the same
location wish to be serviced by the same key telephone system.
System installation requires a minimum of time and expense.
Because all system options are accomplished in the KSU, rather
than in the station sets, the installer is not required to open
the station sets during installation or when implementing neu
services or features. The wiring from the KSU to the station
sets is accomplished with standard 4-wire Don-twisted 22 A~G
wire, which may be run for distances over 3,000 feet, and is
connected by modular plugs and jacks. All of these adt~antages
are yielded by the use of a solid state, distributed space di~-
ision matrix with time-division distributed control. Specifi-

11787;~2
cally, all of the logic functions for a given station are per-
formed bv the station set circuit and the associated station
card circuit. ~hus, a logic failure in one station card cir-
cuit will affect onlv the associated station, and repair or
replacement of the failed station card circuit may be effected
without interrupting or interfering with service on any other
line.
Referring specifically to Figue 3, the station card
circuit 200 shown there includes transformers 202 and 204,
which are connected to the A path (conductors 206 and 208)
and the B path (conductors 210 and 212), respectively. The
phantom path is connected from the center-tapped windings of
transformers 202 and 204 to the data transceiver 214, which is
fullv described in co-pending patent application Serial No.
319,744 and Serial No. 304,660. The data received from the
associated station set circuit 100 via the phantom pair is fed
in a continuous stream from the data transceiver 214 to the
microcomputer 216, which decodes the data. The microcomputer
216 is preferably the Part No. R6500/1 single-chip micro-
computer system manufactured by Rockwell International Cbrpora-
tion. When the data received from the associated station set
100 includes a word having a bit which is indicative that a
particular button has been depressed by the user of thestation
set, the microcomputer 216 generates the outPuts necessary to
implement the service or feature associated with that button.
For example, if a C.O. line is to be seized, an appropriate
output is fed from output terminal A5 of microcomputer 216 to
the current generator 218, which is a digital-to-analogo~nver-
ter formed by four operational amplifiers with their output
terminals ties so as to sum their respective outputs. In
response, the current generator 218 ~enerates a predetermined

11787ZZ
DC output current (1.6 ma) which is 6uperimposed upon any signal
received from the station set on the A path fed through
transformer 202 and DC blocking capacitance 220. Both the out-
put of current generator 218 and the signal received via the A
path are transmitted to the crosspoint array 222, which consists
of a number of ~OSFETs, each having its source electrode conn-
ected either to an associated line card circuit, or to a link
card circuit, or to a page card circuit, or to another station
card circuit, or to a conierence card circuit, all of the drain
electrodes being connected in common to the outputs of current
generator 218 and transformer 202. Each of the gate electrodes
of the MOSFETs is connected to an associated crosspoint latch
in the array of crosspoint latches 224, which consists of demul-
tiplexers formed by three eight-bit latches (CD4099BE). The
array 224 receives three continuous data streams from micro-
computer 216; latch command data, which is issued to all of the
crosspoint latches and consists of a one bit command (O or 1~;
write enable strobe data, which identifies which of the eight-
bit latches is to receive the latch command data; and address
data which identifies with a three-bit address that latch in
each package which is to receive the latch command data. When
the proper conjunction of inputs causes one of the crosspoint
latches 224 to close, the associated ~OSFET crosspoint in array
222 is biased conductive to close the audio path from A-pair
206, 208 through transformer 202, DC blocking capacitance 220
and the drain and source electrodes of the conductive ~OSFET
in array 222. A dial disable circuit 226 formed by a saturating
operational amplifier receives inputs from only those cross-
point latches 224 associated with crosspoints which are conn-
ected to line cards; those inputs are indicative of the statusof those latches, and when any such latch is closed, circuit
11

~1787Z;~
226 responds by terminating the dial disable output signal
which is normally fed to negative impedance circuit 228 and
to function multiplexer 230. Removal of the dial disable
signal activates the negative impedance 228 from an open
circuit condition to a first level of -600 ohms so as to match
the impedance in the station card 200 to the impedance to
which connection has been made via the conductive MOSFET
crosspoint. The function multiplexer 230, formed by a tree
of analog gates (a single CD4051BE) which receives a four-bit
address from the microcomputer 216, also receives a number of
simultaneous inputs including the presence or absence of a
dial disable signal, the presence or absence of a hands-free
disable signal, and slow-flashing and quick-flashing visual
indicator signals. These ~imultaneous inputs are time-division
multiplexed to form the input to terminal B7 of microcomputer
216, and are thus available for inclusion in the data stream
output at terminal D3 to the data transceiver 214. The array of
digital crosspoints 232 are, like the function multiplexer 230,
formed by a tree of analog gates (also a ~ingle CD4051BE) which
receives a four-bit address from the microcomputer 216, and also
receives a serles of simultaneous inputs in the form of voltages
indicative of the status (seizable, not seizable, etc) of the
passive ports to which the crosspoints 222 are connected. Each
of the analog crosspoints 222 is thus paired with one of the
digital crosspoints 232 to form an active port. The simultan-
eous inputs to digital crosspoints 232 are time-division multi-
plexed and output to the voltage discriminator 234 formed by
three analog-to-digital converters which provide a three-bit
message to the microcomputer 216 at terminals BO,Bl and B6.
3~ Viewing the inputs to these terminals at any point in time, if
none of the three voltage reference levels of discriminator 234
12

11787ZZ
is exceeded by the signal voltage (+2v, Ov, -2v or -4v) sampled
by digital crosspoint 232, then logic O appears at each of the
terminals BO, Bl and B6, indicating to the microcomputer 216
that the passive port being interrogated at that point in time
is seizable and its associated visual indicators in the station
sets are off. If the first voltage reference level is exceeded,
a logic 1 appears at B6 and logic O appears at BO and Bl, in-
dicating that the passive port being interro~ated at that point
in time is seizable, but its associated visual indicators are
on, indicating that the station card incorporating the inter-
rogated passive port is in use on its A-pair. If the second
voltage reference level is exceeded, a logic 1 appears at B6
and BO and a logic O appears at Bl, indicating that the passive
port being interrogated at that point in time is not seizable,
except by an active port with a pre-emptive seize capability,
and its associated visual indicators are on. If the third vol-
tage level is exceeded, a logic 1 appears at B0, B1 and B6,
indicating that the passive port being interrogated at that
point in time is not seizable by any active port, i.e., it has
been pre-emptively seized, and its associated visual indicators
are on. If the passive port of a line card being interrogated
at any point in time indicates that it is either receiving an
incoming call on the associated C.O. line, or is on HOLD, i.e.,
when the voltage signal input to data crosspoints 232 alternate
between Ov and +2v, this flashing signal will be sampled by the
associated digital crosspoint in array 23~and will be passed
through voltage discriminator 234 to terminal B6 as a series of
logic ls alternating with a series of logic Os at the rate and
duty cycle of the flashing signal being sampled. All of this
information is employed by the microprocessor 216 to determine
whether to signal the current generator 218 to send signal cur-
13

~17~72Z
rent on the audio path via a conductive ~OSFET crosspoint to a
passive port, and to signal the station sets from terminal D3
via data transceiver 214 as to the status of all the interroga-
ted passive ports.
If and only if a requested telephone ser~ice or feature
is indicated as being ~vailable upon interrogation of the rele-
vant passive port, signal current will be generated by the
active port to advise the passive port of its seizure and the
desired service. Specifically, the current generator 218 can
receive any one of four command signals from microcomputer 216
in response to data received at terminal AO. Absent any command
signal, the output from current generator 218 is nil (O ma). A
seize signal may appear at terminal A5, causing a seize current
(1.6 ma) to flow from current generator 218 on the audio path
and through a conductive MOSFET crosspoint to the passive port
to which that crosspoint is connected. That passive port is
thus informed that it has been seized, and it responds by gen-
erating a voltage signal which is transmitted to all of the
active ports to which the passive port is connected to indicate
to those active ports that it has been seized. A conference
signal may appear at terminal A6, causing a double seize current
(3.2 ma) to flow from current generator 218 to signal seizure
of two passive ports, e.g., conferencing two incoming C.O. lines.
The seized passive ports respond by each generating a voltage
signal indicative of seizure. The conference signal from ter-
minal A6 of microcomputer 216 is also input to negative imped-
ance 228 to adjust its value to -200 ohms so as to match the
impedance of the two conferenced lines to which the station card
has been connected through the seized passive ports. A flash
signal may appear at terminal A7 of microcomputer 216, causin~
14

li7872Z
a flash current (6.4 ma) to flow from current generator 218 and
break the loop current on a seized CØ line while continuing to
hold that line. Hold and privacy release signals may appear
at terminal A4 of microcomputer 216, causing either a hold cur-
rent pulse (14 ma) of brief duration to be generated, or a pri-
vacy release current pulse (14 ma) to be generated as long as
the privacy release button in the associated station set is
depressed. ID response to the aforementioned signals currents
from current generator 218, the KSU circuit incorporating the
receiving passive port implements the requested service indica-
ted by the signal current level, and the receiving passive port
generates a voltage signal indicative of its seizure.
Each ~tation card 200 includes one or more passive
ports, viz., a hotline B-port 238, a link B-port 240, or a page
input to B-port ~witching circuit 246. The te~l "B-port"
refers only to station card passive ports, which provide access
to the B-pair communication channel. In the system shown in
Figure 1, the station cards require no link B-ports 240, since
there are no links. If tbe optional paging and background
music features are eliminated, the PAGE and BG~ input circuits
in B-port switching circuit 246 may be eliminated. There are
multiple connections to the hotline B-port from one active port
in each of the other station cards in this system. In the
system shown in Figure 2, each station card has a link B-port
which may be seized by a link card circuit. The hotline B-port
is connected to one active port in only one other station card
200; if a system is desired in which all internal calling is to
be accomplished through the link cards, the hotline B-port may
be eliminated. As in the system of Figure 1, if the optional
paging and background music features are eliminated, the PA OE

11787Z'Z
and BGM input circuits in B-port switching circuit 246 may be
eliminated. These B-port circuits are shown in detail in Fig-
ure 4. The hotline B-port ~38 col~prises a transformer 250 for
isolating the DC current signals, which are received from the
active ports to which transformer 250 is connected via the HLB
ANALOG conductor, from the VOICE or AUDIO PATH. A resistor 252
is connected across the DC signal-current-receiving winding
of transformer 250 for the purpose of providing a shunt path
past that winding so as to minimize transients induced in the
other winding by the DC current signals, and an impedance-
matching resistance 254 of equal value is connected across the
other winding. A signal current sensor circuit comprises tran-
sistor 256, which is biased by -9v. applied through resistor
260 to its base, which is also connected to the anode of diode
258, the cathode of which is grounded. The collector is conn-
ected through parallel resistor 262 and capacitor 264 to -9v.,
and the emitter is connected through resistor 252 and its
parallel winding of transformer 250 to the HLB ANALOG conductor.
A seize signal current (1.6 ma) is detected as an increase in
the voltage across resistor 262, which causes voltage compar-
ator 266 to generate a HL SEIZE 2 signal which is transmitted
to input terminal B5 of microcomputer 216. A latch command is
then generated in the data stream from terminal ~5,causing the
pertinent one of function latches 236 (Figure 3) to close and
thereby issue the HL CONTROL 2 signal (logic 1) to digital-to-
analog converter 261 in hotline B-port 23~. In response, the
D/A converter 261 generated an output which is applied through
resistor 263 to voltage follower 269, which generates a ~C
signal voltage indicating seizure (-2v.) which is transmitted
to the digital crosspoint(s) of the active ports to which hot-
line B-port 238 is connected. The microcomputer 216 further
16

li787Z,'Z
responds to the HL SEIZE 2 or 3 signals by simultaneously gener-
ating a SPLASH TONE ENABLE sigDal at terminal A1, thereby
triggering splash tone control circuit 294 which then turns on
JCT FET 293 for about 1 second to pass the steady SPLASH TONE
signal received from tone generator circuit 500 to the AUDIO
PATH, thereby signalling the called party that there is an
incoming call. The SPLASH TONE ENABLE signal is also applied
as an input to inverting OR gate 290, which responds by turning
off JCT FET 23~ to block any PAGE or BGM transmission. The
microcomputer 216 responds to the depression of the appropriate
buttons at the called party's station set by generating the HL
B ENABLE signal at terminal D1, which turns on ~OSFET 2~8 in
seize control circuit 242 and is also applied as an input to
inverting OR gates 290 and 286 in B-port switcl~ing circuit 246,
thereby turn~g off both JCT FET 289 and ~OSFET 287 to block
PAGE and BGM transmissions, and causing inverter 285 to turn
on MOSFET 284 in the VOICE or AUDIO PRTH. Thus, a path is
closed for the transmission of voice signals via transformer
250, MOSFET 268, attenuator 244 formed by a resistive pi network
and MOSFET 284 through DC blocking capacitor 248 and trans-
former 204 to the B-pair communication channel comprising con-
ductors 210 and 212.
With a seized DC signal voltage (-2v.) at the output of
voltage follower 269, the hotline B-port 238 may be pre-emptively
seized by an active port having that ability. If a pre-emptive
seize current signal (3.2 ma) is received by h~tline B-port 238,
voltage comparator 263 generates a HL SEIZE 3 signal which is
fed to function multiplexer 23~. A latch command is then
generated in the data stream from terminal D5, causing the per-
tinent one of the array of function latches 236 (Figure 3) to
issue the HL CONTROL 3 signal to digital-to-anaiog converter 25~.
17

11787Z;~
In response, the D/A converter 257 generates an output ~hich is
applied through resistor 259 to voltage follower 269, which gen-
erates a DC signal voltage indicating pre-emptive seizure (-4~ ).
If the user of the associated station set 100 is utilizing the
A-pair communication channel, the microcomputer will generate
a HL CONTROL 1 signal (logic 1) at terminal DO, thereby causing
digital-to-analog converter 265 to generate an output through
resistor 267 which causes voltage follower 26~ to generate a
DC signal voltage (Ov.) indicating that the hotline B-port 238
is seizable and that the associated visual indicator in the call-
ing party's station set is tD be ~ t If each of the signals HL
CONTROL 1,2,3 is a logic 0, the voltage follower 269 ~ill gen-
erate a DC signal voltage (+2v.) indicating that the hotline
B-port 238 is seizable and that the associated visual indicator
in the calling party's station set is not to be lit.
The link B-port 240 comprises an isolating transformer
270 with DC shunt resistor 272 connected across the DC signal
current-receiving winding, and an impedance-matching resistor
274 connected across the other winding. A combination current
sensor and voltage sender circuit is formed by transistor 275,
operational amplifier 276, and the parallel-connected resistor
277 and capacitor 278. A DC current signal received on the
LINK conductor from an active port is sensed as an increase in
voltage across resistor 277, which in turn causes comparator
279 to generate a LINK SEIZE signal which is applied to terminal
L2 of microcomputer 216. If the call is received handsfree
at the called speakerphone, the microcomputer 216 also gen-
erates a SPLASH TONE ENABLE signal at terminal Al in response
to the LINK SEIZE signal, thereby triggering splash tone control
circuit 294 which then turns on JCT FET 293 for about 1 second
to pass the steady SPLASH TONE signal to the AUDIO PATH. The
18

117~37Z~
SPLASH TONE ENABLE signal is also applied as an input to in-
verting OR gate 290, which responds by turning off JCT FET 289
to block any PA~E or BGM transmission. If the seizing link
sends DC signal current (3.2 ma) indicating an intercom ringing
call, i.e., one which is to be answered via the handset hybrid
circuit instead of the speakerphone at the called station, then
voltage comparator 280 will also generate an output, which is
fed to terminal B3 of microcomputer 216 as an IC~ RING CALL
signal. In response, the microcomputer 216 generates a latch
command at terminal D5 instead of a SPLASH TONE ENABLE signal
at terminal A1. The latch command is fed to the function lat-
ches 236 (Figure 3) along with address data and write enable
stiobe data. Function latches 236 are formed by one eight-bit
latch (CD4099BE) which acts as a demultiplexer of the three
streams of received data in the ~ame manner as crosspoint
latches 224. In response to the aforementioDed latch command,
an IC~ RING TONE ENABLE 6ignal i~ geDerated and fed to B-port
switching circuit 246 (1) to turn on JCT FETs 288 and 296 to
allow passage of ICM RING TONE to the called party through
normally-conductive MOSFET 287 and to the calling party through
transformer 270 in the link B-port 240, and (2) to turn off JCT
FET 289 through inverting OR gate 290 to block any PAGE or BG'l
transmission.
Vpon termination of either the SPLASH TONE ENABLE sig-
nal or the ICM RING TONE ENABLE signal, a LINK ENABLE signal
is generated at terminal D2 of microcomputer 216 to turn on
~OSFET 283 in seize control circuit 242. The LINK ENABLE sig-
nal is also applied as an input to inverting OR gate 286 in
B-port switching circuit 246, thereby turning on MOSFET 287 and
causing inverter 285 to turn on MOSFET 284. Thus, a path is
closed for the transmission of voice signals via transformer
1~

~7~7Z;~
270, ~OSFET 283, attenuator 244, and ~OSFET 284 to the B-pair
communication channel. The LINK SEIZE signal is also applied
to the positive input terminal of operational amplifier 276
' connected as a voltage follower with its negative input and
its output tied to the emitter and base, respectively, of
transistor causing its emitter to 275 become more positive.
Thus, a DC voltage signal (-2v.) indicating seizure is generated
at the emitter of transistor 275 and is applied through resistor
272 and its parallel winding of transformer 270 to the LINK
conductor for transmission to the link.
If a call coming in to link B-port 240 is answered
at an alternate station set by dialing the called station set
extension number with aprefix code number, the alternate station
set is connected to the seizing link through the link B-port
240 of the called station set. Under these conditions, the
seizing link will generate a call steal DC current signal
(3.2 ma) which causes comparator 281 to generate on output
which is fed to terminal B4 as a CALL STEAL signal in response
to which the microcomputer 216 prevents user access to the
B-pair communication channel of the called station set. The
CALL STEAL signal is also applied to the call steal timer
circuit 282 to reset it. The call steal timer circuit starts
to run for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 30 seconds)
whenever it receives a LINK SEIZE signal, and while it is
running it biases the positive input terminal of operational
amplifier 276 so as to allow the generation of a DC voltage
signal at the emitter of transistor 27~ indicating seizure of
the link B-port, thereby enabling the call from the link to be
"stolen" ~y pre-emptively seizing the link B-port 240 via an
active port in an alternate station set. The call steal timer

~1787ZZ
circuit is also reset by the LINK ENABLE signal from terminal
D2 of the microcomputer 216 so as to prevent an answered call
from being "stolen", thereby preserving the called user's pri-
vacy.
The PAGE and BGM signals are received from the page
and tone cards, respectively, and are controlled by JCT FETS 291
and 292, respectively, which are normally conductive when PAGE
ENABLE and BGM ENABLE signals are applied to their respective
gate electrodes. These enabling signals are generated by func-
tion latches array 236 in response to latch commands issued atterminal D5 of microcomputer 216 in response to data received
at terminal A0 from the associated station set 100. A combin-
ation on/off/volume switch in the station set 100 controls the
generation of the BGM ENABLE signal by the associated station
circuit 200; when the switch is off, the signal will not
be generated, and when the switch is on, the signal will be gen-
erated. The PAGE ENABLE signal will normally be generated in
each station circuit 200, but will be terminated upon seizure
of the page card through a link card or directly from the
station card in response to requests from the station set.
CO AUDIBLE is a signal which is continuously generated
within the EKTS on the tone card 500 (Figure 6) for trans-
mission to the internal speaker in the station set upon receipt
of a C.O. AUDIBLE ENABLE signal at the gate electrode of JCT FET
295. These enabling signals are also received from the tone
card 500 in response to INCOMING CALL ENABLE signals generated
by the various line cards 300 (Figure 5) in response to a
ringing signal from the Central Office.
The program listing which follows on pages 23-46 is the
sequence of instructions stored in microcomputer 216 of each

117872;~
station card 200 (Figure 3). Each ROM address (LOC) with
machine operation code (CODE) followed by the assembly language
instruction of the program is included in the listing. The
assembly language instructions are explained in detail in the
manufacturer's Data Sheet entitled "Part No. R6500/1 Nicrocom-
puter System", Document No. 29000D51, Revision 2, dated October
1978 and published by the Rockwell International Corporation.
The Symbol Table on pp. 47-48 includes four columns of program
symbols on each page, with the value of each symbol listed at
the right side of each symbol.

Referring specifically to the circuit shown in Figure
5, each line card 300 includes a single passive port which is
connected to one active port of each of a variable number of
station cards 200 in the system of Figure 1, and also to an
active port in each of the link cards in the system of Figure
2. The passive port receives DC signal currents from the conn-
ected active ports through the shunt resistor 304 and through
the DC signal current-receiving winding of transformer
302, and current sensing circuits 306 generate either a SEI%E,
ELASH, or HOLD/PRRL (privacy release) signals depending upon
whether the DC signal current is 1.6ma, 6.4ma, or 7-14ma. The
SEIZE signal causes the seize relay control circuit 310 to
energize the winding of seize relay 312, causing the ganged
armatures to disconnect from load resistor 314 and establish
connections to the tip T and ring R of the CO line. The SEIZE
signal ~imultaneously triggers timer circuit 319 which activ-
ates a clamping circuit 321 for about 1 second in order to limit
the noise and ringing signal coming in from the CO line. With
the line seized, dialing may be accomplished at the station set
by either dual-tone, multi-frequency (DTMF) signal generators
or by an outpulse generator. DTMF dial signals are transmitted
through transformer 302, music-on-hold interface circuit 322,
bi-directional amplifier 320, transformer 318, and seize relay
312 to the CO line. Outpulse dialing is accomplished by pulse-
modulating the SEIZE signal so as to cause the seize relay 312
to modulate the loop current as a function of the pulses gener-
ated at the station set.
The SEIZE signal is also fed to the voltage sender 324,
which responds by generating a DC signal voltage (-2v.) indi-
cating seizure of the line card passive port. If the seized COline is put on hold by transmission of a 14 ma DC current pulse
49

li787ZZ
from the seizing port, a current sensing circuit 306 generates
a HOLD signal pulse which causes hold condition sensing circuit
308 to generate a constant output which activates the NOH
interface circuit 322 to pass the MOH SOURCE signal received
via the tone card 500 to the held CO line. Because the analog
crosspoint in the previously seizing active port is now open,
no signal current will flow to current sensing circuits 306,
and the MOH SOURCE will not be heard at the associated station
set. The output of the hold condition sensing circuit 308 is
also fed to an input of AND gate 332, which receives a second
input from inverter 328 in response to the termination of the
SEIZE signal, and a third input F-FLASH which is received from
the tone card 500. The output of AND gate 332 consequently
fluctuates in synchronism with the F-FLASH SIGNAL, as does the
output of voltage sender 324, thereby signalling the digital
crosspoints of every connected active port that the CO line
is on hold and may be seized by any connected active port. A
PRRL signal pulse from one of the current sensing circuits 306
in response to a-7-14ma DC signal current pulse from the seizing
active port will cause hold condition sensing circuit 308 to
generate a constant output, so that the MOH interface circuit
322 will be activated and one input will be provided to AND
circuit 332. The SEIZE signal is simultaneously terminated by
de-activation of the DC current signal generator in the seizing
active port, causing inverter 328 to provide another input to
AND circuit 332. Thus, voltage sender 324 ceases to generate
a seized voltage signal (-2v.) and begins to generate an output
which fluctuates between Ov. and -2v. at the F-FLASH rate.
Therefore, other station sets ~90 in the system are informed
that they may also make connection to the CO line.

3.1787Z'~
~ hen a FLASH signal is generated by one of current
sensing circuits 306 in response to a flash DC curr~nt signal
(6.4 ma), the flash switch control circuit 326 responds by
de-activating seize relay control circuit 310 for about 1
secoDd, thereby breaking the connection of seize relay 312 to
the CO line for that period of time. The SEIZE signal is not
interrupted, however. Thus, loop current is broken to dis-
connect the outside party' 6 circuit from the C~ line while
retaining the line for another call. If the EKTS is employed
behind a PBX which requires it, this line card circuit is
modified by breaking the controlling connection from flash
switch control circuit 326 to the seize relay control circuit
310, and by adding a relay 316 which has its armature con-
nected directly to the upper armature of seize relay 312. In
this revi~ed circuit, the generation of the FLASH signal will
not affect the seize relay control circuit 310, lea~ing the
seize relay 312 energized to connect transformer 318 to the
PBX line, but the flash switch control circuit 326 will cause
relay 316 to connect the conductor T to circuit ground during
FL~SH. As in the first embodiment of thi~ circuit, the SEIZE
signal is not terminated. Thus, loop current is broken to
disconnect the other party's circuit from the PBX line while
retaining the line in order to place another call.
In the case of an incoming call, the ringing signal
from the central office will cause ring detection circuit 328
to activate incoming ring indicator circuit 330, which then
generates an INCOMING CALL ENABLE signal which is fed to tone
card 500, and a logic 1 input signal to AND gate 330. Since
there is no SEIZE signal, the output of inverter 328 is also
logic 1. Thus, the S-FLASH signal will pass through AND gate
330 to modulate the output of voltage sender 324 to provide an
51

11787'~'~
indication of the inco~ing call to the digital crosspoints of
the connected active ports, any one of which may seize the
passive port of the line card circuit and thereby seize the
associated CO line.
Referring specifically to the circuit shown in Figure
6, tone generator card 500 comprises a 64 hz oscillator circuit
502 which provides a square ~ave to the countdown combiner and
driver circuits 504, and these in turn generate a Q-FLASH
(I-hold) signal, an F-FLASH (hold) signal, and an S-FLASH
(incoming call) signal. The Q-FLASH and S-FLASH signals are
fed to the function multiplexer 230 of station card circuit
200 (Figure 3) to be sampled, the samples being serially trans-
mitted to microcomputer 216 for possible inclusion in the data
transmitted to the associated station set 100. The S-FLASH
and F-FLASH signals are fed to line card 300. The countdown
combiner and driver circuits 504 also provide driver signals
to the driver circuits 506, 508, 510 and 512, which also receive
the output of combiner circuit 514, which mixes the outputs of
the 400 hz oscillator circuit 516 and the 470 hz oscillator
circuit 518. These oscillator outputs are also fed to driver
circuits 520 and 522, respectively, which generate DIAL TONE
and SPLASH TONE, respectively. DIAL TONE is fed only to the
register card circuit(s) 800, and SPLASH TONE is fed only to
the station cards 200.
Driver circuit 506 produces CO AUDIBLE tone at the rate
of 1 second on, 1 second off, 1 second on, 3 seconds off, and is
fed to the station cards 200 and page card 400. Driver circuit
508 produces ICM RING TONE at two isolated outputs at the rate
of 1 second on, 3 seconds offt and is fed only to the station
cards 200. Driver circuit 510 produces BUSY TONE at the rate

117872'~
of 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off, and is fed only to the link
card circuit(s) 700. Driver circuit 512 produces REORDER TONE
at the rate of 0.125 second on, 0.125 second off. The outputs
of driver circuits508, 510, 512 and 520 are all employed in
internal link functions, and may be eliminated in a system which
has no link circuits 700.
The split ringing and gating circuit 524 receives the
INCOMING CALL ENABLE signals which the line cards 300 generate
when an incoming call is detected, and in response generates
several CO AUDIBLE ENABLE signals, any one or more of which can
be transmitted through backplane wiring to any station card 200
or group of station cards 200. For example, if an INCOMING
CALL ENABLE signal is received from line card 1, 2 or 3, a CO
AUDIBLE ENABLE signal is sent from output COEGPA via the back-
plane to a predetermined group of station cards 200. The
following outputs COEGPB, C, D, E, F and G are similarly assoc-
iated with line cards 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, 16-18 and 19-21,
respectively. Output COE 1-14 is associated with line cards
1-14, and a CO AUDIBLE ENABLE signal will be provided via the
backplane to all of the station cards 200 connected to this
output. Output COE 15-18/19 is similarly associated with line
cards 15-18/19, and COE 15-19/21 is similarly associated with
line cards 15-19/21. This arrangement provides great flexi-
bility in the distribution of the CO AUDIBLE tone, e.g., en-
abling direct signalling to predetermined small groups of
station sets behind PB~ that there is an incoming call from
one of a small group of CO lines, and facilitating the pre-
vention of such direct signalling on those incoming calls that
are received at an attendant's station for forwarding to the
called party.

A station set 100 designated by backplane wiring
controls the night ring control circuit 526. As in all station
sets, the BGM ENABLE signal is generated in response to turn-
on of the BGM control switch. Due to the connection of the
BGM ENABLE signal output from the station card 200 associated
with the designated station set 100 to the night ring control
circuit 526, turn-on of the BGM control switch at the station
set enables generation of the NR ENABLE signal upon receipt of
a logic level signal from the split ringing and gating circuit
524 in response to any INCOMING CALL ENABLE signal. The NR
ENABLE signal is fed to page card 400 to broadcast CO AUDIBLE
TONE as an all-page transmission. The optional MOH interface
circuit 528 distributes the MOH SOURCE signal to all line
cards selected to receive it through the backplane wiring. The
optional BGM interface circuit 530 distributes the BGM SO~RCE
signal to all station sets selected to receive it through the
backplane wiring, except when it receives a BG~ DISABLE signal
from the page card 400.
Referring specifically to Figure 7, the link card
circuit shown there includes a single passive port and multiple
active ports. The passive port comprises current detector cir-
cuit 702, which includes a DC current signal blocking trans-
former in the ANALOG LINK path and is constructed in a manner
similar to the current detector circuit in hotline B-port 238
in station card 200 (Fi~ure 4). The sensed DC signal current
from an active port of a seizing station card 200 will cause
the current detector 702 to generate an output voltage which is
fed to a series of voltage comparators 722, 724, 726, and 728
which will be successively triggered in response to sensed DC
signal currents of 1.6 ma, 3.2 ma, 6.4 ma, and a 14 ma pulse
(50 milliseconds), respectively, which cause the voltage output
54

117872Z
of current sensor 702 to increase to successively higher
levels. In response to a DC signal current indicating seizure
(1.6 ma) received from a station card active port on the ANALOG
LINK input to current sensor 702, a LINK DXP DC voltage signal
(-2v.) will be generated by comparator 722 and sent to all
station cards 200 which are also connected to the ANALOG LINK in-
put to current sensor 702. Simultaneously, cGmparator 722 applies
a SEIZE signal to request logic circuit 744, which in turn
generates a LINK REQUEST signal which is sent to the register
card(s) 600. If the register or registers are in use, no LINK
CONNECT signal will be returned. In a system with more than
one register card 600, only one can be in the ready status, and
the other(s) will all be either in use, i.e., connected to a
link circuit 700, or in standby status. The ready register
becomes connected in response to the LINK REQUEST signal, and
sends a LINK CONNECT signal to connect logic circuit 742, and
a LINK DATA ENABLE signal and a LOAD ADDRESS signal to AND
gate 740, which responds by enabling the tens latches 748 and
the units latches 752. The connecting register will then send
back an 8-bit address, four bits to tens latches 748 and four
bits to units latches 752, representing either a decimal 98
or 99 which identifies the connected register (in a two-register
system) to which a register crosspoint REG 1 or REG 2 is to be
closed. The binary-to-decimal converter circuits 712 and 714
decode the binary outputs of level shifters 750 and 74~, re-
spectively, so tha~ B/D converter 714 provides an input to
AND logic circuit 710 representative of the first register-
identifying digit (9) and B/D converter 712 provides an input
to AND logic circuit 710 representative of the second register-
identifying digit (8 or 9). These two inputs will cause ANDlogic circuit 710 to generate either a REG 1 GATE signal or a
REG 2 GATE signal to close either the REG 1 crosspoint to a

11787Z'~
first register or the REG 2 crosspoint to a second register.
Dial tone is now passed from tone card 500 via the connected
register 600 through the closed REG crosspoint and over the
ANALOG LINK BYPASS to indicate to the caller that he may now
send dial signals to identify that passive port which he wishes
to seize. ~ither DTMF or outpulse dial signals will be trans-
mitted via the ANALOG LINK BYPASS around current sensor 702,
and current sender 704 through the closed REG crosspoint to
the connected register 600, which decodes the dial signals,
puts them in binary form, and decides whether or not the number
is valid. If the number is not valid, e.g., there is no passive
port to which the dialed number has been assigned, the REORDER
TONE from tone card 500 is sent via the connected register 600
over the ANALOG LINK path through a designated internal cross-
point 706, which is closed in response to a reorder crosspoint
address (97) sent by the register 600 to the latches 748, 752,
which have been re-enabled by AND gate 740 to receive the re-
order crosspoint address, which replaces the invalid address.
This new address displaces the register-identifying address
(97 or 98) and thereby causes the REG crosspoint to the register
to re-open. Also, a REORDER signal is sent to start kick-off
logic circuit 716, which generates a 20 millisecond pulse sig-
nal TKO after a predetermined period of time (e.g., about 8
seconds), in response to which the current detection circuit
702 causes the LINK DXP output of comparator 722 to go to +2v.
for 20 milliseconds, which causes the seizing active port to
cease transmission of its ~C seize current signal. As a result,
the LINK DXP signal goes to +2v. to indicate that the link is
idle, and the SEIZE signal to request logic circuit 744 is ter-
minated, causing termination of the LINK REQUEST signal. Thecaller may release and reseize the link before kick-off occurs.
56

~ ~ 787Z'~
If the called number is valid, the register 60~ gener-
ates a LOAD MODE signal in addition to the previously-generated
LINK DATA ENABLE and LOAD ADDRESS signals to cause AND gate 738
to enable the mode latches 736 and the current mode latches 754.
The register is preferably designed to recognize the following
number groups as valid and to issue the oppositely-listed
current mode signals and address data:
Current
~alled Numbers Mode Signal Link Data 10s Link Data Uni~
10 30-89 decimal 0 binary 3-8 binary 0-9
130-189 decimal 1 binary 3-8 binary 0-9
230-289 decimal 2 binary 3-8 binary 0-9
917-930 decimal 9 binary 1-3 binary 0-9
991-996 decimal 9 binary 9 binary 1-6
Thus, a dialled number 56 will cause a logic level signal rep-
resentative of a decimal O generated in the register to be sent
by the register to the fi~st input to the current mode latches
754 via the first link data units line, thereby providing a
SEIZE signal to mode control circuit 730. The absence of a pre-
fix number indicates that an internal call is being made and canbe answered handsfree. The first address digit is a binary-
coded 5 which is fed to tens latches 748, and the second address
digit i5 a binary-coded 6 which is fed to the units latches
752. As another example, a dialled number 148 will cause the
register to send a logic level signal representative of a
decimal l generated in the register to the second input to the
current mode latches 754 via the second link data units line,
thereby providing an ICM ~ING signal to mode control circuit
730. The prefix number l indicates that an internal call is
being made and must be answered via the called party's handset.
The first and second address digits are a binary-coded 4 and
57

~787ZZ
binary-coded 8, which are fed to the tens latches 748 and
units latches 752, respectively. A third example is the case
of a dialled number 265, which will cause the register to send
a lo~ic level signal representative of a decimal 2 generated
in the register to the third input to the current mode latches
754 via the third link data units line, thereby providing a
STEAL signal to mode control circuit 730. The prefix number 2
indicates that the caller is effecting a "call steal", i.e.
answering a call that is coming ln at another station set, some-
times referred to as alternate-point answering. In this case,
the address data (binary-coded 6 and binary-coded 5) identifies
the station set to which the incoming call is directed. The pre-
fix number 9, when dialled before the numbers 17 through 30, in-
dicates that the caller wishes to seize a CO line through one of
the active ports comprising the paired CO crosspoints labelled
LINES 17-30 ANLG and LINES 17-30 DXP, and causes the register to
send a logic level signal representative of a decimal 9 generated
in the register to the fourth input to the current mode latches
754 via the fourth link data units line, causing a CO signal
to be sent to mode control circuit 730. The prefix 9, when
dialled before the numbers 91 through 96, indicates that the
caller wishes to seize one of the passive ports in the page
card 400 via one of the group of active ports comprising the sin-
gle line internal crosspoints 706 labelled PAGE 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
and ALL PAGE. As before, the register sends a logic level
signal representative of a decimal 9 generated in the register
to the fourtb input to the current m~de latches 754, which in
turn provide a PAGE signal to mode control circuit 730. There
may also be a special single-digit number such as 0 which is
frequently dialled, e.g., to reach the operator at an attended
station in the system. The register(s) will interpret the 0
as requesting transmission of a two-digit a~dress (90) which

11787'~'~
will cause the link to close the internal crosspoint labelled
OPR to the operator's station.
The mode latches 736 receive a single input signal
pulse from the register at their second input simultaneously
with the logic level input to current mode latches 754, causing
a constant, inverted output ~ to be fed to called station
response timer 734 which in turn activates busy test logic
circuit 732 for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 2.5
seconds). During this time period, if no CALL B~SY signal is
received from the DXP detection circuit 718, busy test logic
circuit 732 will generate no output, but at the end of the time
period it will generate a CSSE (called station send enable)
signal, thus enabling current sender (mode) control logic
circuit 730 to generate a control voltage output to current
sender 704. Then, in response to inputs either from the voltage
comparators 724, 726 or 728 or from current mode latcl~es 754,
mode control logic circuit 730 will alter its normal DC output
(+8v.). In response to a logic level SEIZE, ICM RING, CO/PAGE
or STEAL input signal from current mode latches 754, mode control
logic circuit 730 will generate a DC voltage output of ~7.2v.,
+6.5v., +7.2v., or +6.5v., respectively, which will in turn
cause current sender 704 to generate a DC output current of
1.6 ma, 3.2 ma, 1.6 ma, or 3.2 ma, respectively, which is trans-
mitted via a closed crosspoint in arrays 706, 70~ to the passive
port to be seized. If the passive port is in the page card 400,
or is the link B-port 240 of a station card 200, the DC voltage
signal indicating seizure (-2v.) or, in the case of the station
card, pre-emptive seizure (-4v.), will be sent back to the link
7Q0 over the single conductor on which the DC si~nal current
effecting seizure (1.6 ma) is sent to the page card or link B-
port, and will pass through the closed crosspoint (one of the
59

1~,7872Z
group from PAGE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ALL PAGE, and STA 30 through
STA 89) on the STA COMMON DRAIN conductor to DXP detection
circuit 718 during the time period in which the busy test logic
circuit 732 is activated. In response to either -2v. or -4v.,
which indicate a seized or pre-emptively seized passive port,
respectively, the CALL BUSY signal will be generated by the DXP
detection circuit 718, in response to which the reset logic
circuit 720 clears the address latches 748, 752 and the busy
test logic circuit 732 generates a BUSY TONE ENABLE signal,which
starts the kick-off logic circuit 716 and is fed as an input to
AND logic circuit 710. The address latches 748, 752 now hold
the 00 address, which is the address of the BUSY TONE crosspoint.
In response to this address and the BUSY TONE ENABLE signal,the
AND logic circuit closes the BUSY TONE crosspoint to pass the
busy signal from the tone card via the ANALOG LINK path to the
caller's station card 200 and thence to associated station set
100. The caller must then either release the link before gen-
eration of a TKO signal pulse and then reseize it or another
link, or he will be kicked off the link upon generation of the
TKO signal by logic circuit 716. Upon either release or kick-
off, the SEIZE signal to request and connect logic circuits 744
and 742 will be terminated, causing initiation of the LINK RE-
S~T signal to reset logic circuit 720, which responds by issuing
both lSODE REG R~SET and ADDR REG RESET signals to latches 736,
754 and 748, 7~2 respectively. The address latches 748, 752
have already been cleared in response to the ~ALL BUSY signal
to the reset logic circuit 720.
If a line card 300 is seized through a pair of cross-
points 703, e.g., the pair labelled LINE 17 ANLG ~nd LINE 17
DXP, the DC voltage signal from the line card passive port is
received via the latter (DXP) crosspoint and fed via the CO~:~
DRAIN LINE DPX connected from all the drain electrodes of the

~ ~.7872Z
digital crosspoints labelled LINES 17-30 DXP to the DXP detec-
tion circuit 718, which responds in the same manner as it does
to the DC voltage signals received from the link B-port of a
s~ tion card over the STA COM~ON DRAIN conductor, as previously
described.
If the passive port seized by link 700 is in a line card
300, it is possible for the calling party to effect multi-line
conferencing (seizing of a second line card 300), flash signal-
ling (breaking loop current long enough to drop the called
party while retaining the line), placing the called party on
hold, and privacy release,all in response to DC current signals
to the current detector 702 which will respond thereto by gen-
erating a voltage output to voltage comparators 724, 726 and
728 as described earlier herein. Those voltage comparators
provide their outputs to mode control logic circuit 730, which
responds when enabled by the CSSE signal to cause current sender
704 to generate a DC signal current at the same level as the DC
signal current received by current detector 702.
Upon termination of a completed call, internal or external,
the calling party's station card 200 ceases to send DC signal
current to the link 700, causing the output of current sensor
to drop below the triggering threshold of voltage comparator
722. Thus the LINK DXP signal goes to +2v., indicating that
the link is again seizable, and the SEIZE signalto re~uest
logic circuit 744 is terminated. The register has previously
been disconnected in response to signal T2 from mode latches
736, which overrides the SEIZE signal from comparator 722.
The LINK RESET signal is now generated to cause reset logic
circuit 720 to generate MODE REG RESET and AD9R REG RESET to
clear all of the latches 736, 748, 752, and 754.
61

1~,787Z'~
Referring specifically to Figure 8, the register cir-
cuit 600 shown there may be connected to any number of link
circuits 700, e.g., four, as shown, any one of which can send a
LINK REQUEST signal to link searcb circuit 628, which responds
to that signal by sending a CO~IMON LINK REQUEST signal to reg-
ister control timing circuit 626. If it is not in the ready
status, circuit 626 will not send SEARCH PULSES, which have the
same width (2 milliseconds) and f.equency (250 hz) as the output
of clock generator 610, to circuit 628, and the register's tri-
state buffers 630, 632, 634 and 636 will not be enabled to pass
data to the link. If it is in the ready status, circuit 626
will send SEAR~H PULSES to the link search circuit 628, which
responds by sending a constant logic level ENABLE signal to
tri-state buffer 630 and by transmitting a logic level LINK
CONNECT signal to the specific link identified by the data out-
put from link search circuit 628 to the buffer 630. A LINK
FOUND signal is also sent to timing circuit 625, which responds
by sending an ENABLE signal to tri-state buffers 632, 634 and
636. Buffer 632 then provides a logic level LINK DATA ENABLE
signal to the specific link identified by the data output from
link search circuit 628, and buffer 634 sends a LOAD ADDR signal
to all the link circuits in the system, to which its two outputs
are commonly connected. Timing circuit 626 then sends a SEND
REG A~DR signal to output logic circuit 622, causing it to feed
the register's stored two-digit address, (97 or 98) to the
output tri-state buffer 636, the first digit being sent in four-
bit binary code to the link data tens inputs, and the second
digit being sent in the same code to the link data units inputs.
The timing circuit 626 then sends the SEND REG ~ODE signal to
output logic 622 and subsequently terminates the E~ABLE signa]
to buffers 632, 634 and 636 and sends (l) the DIAL TONE &
62

~787Z2
DIALING signal to the register reset and time-out circuit 606
to enable it to generate an output and (2) the inverse of that
signal to L~D 642 to energize it. ~eanwhile, the link 700
closes the REG crosspoint, through which its ANALOG LINK BYPASS
conductor is connected to the analog decoupling and current de-
tect c~rcuit 60~, which normally receives the DIAL TONE ENABLE
signal from register reset and time out circuit 606, and con-
sequently allows its DIAL TON~ input from tone card ~00 to pass
through the link 700 to the seizing station card 200 and its
associated station set 100. Dial signals may now be received
by the register 600 from the station set 100 via the station
card 200 and link card 700. Both dual-tone multi-frequency
(DTMF) dial signals and dial pulse train signals are received
by analog decoupling and current detection circuit 602, which
incorporates a transformer with one winding connected to the
link circuit(s~ 700 in the system, and the other winding conn-
ected to the tone filtering and decoding circuit 612. The
current detector may be constructed in a manner similar to the
current detector in the hotline B-port of station card 200
(Figure 4). DTMF signals are converted into four-bit binary
tone data by the decoder 612, and that data is fed to an up
counter 614 which, in response to a PRESET sigDal generated by
control logic 608 in response to the TDV (Tone Data Valid) signal
from decoder 612, is enabled to hold each dialed digit for trans-
mission to the binary-to-decimal decoder 616 in the same sequence
in which the binary-coded digits were received. The digit assign-
ment control logic 608 is normally in a waiting state, and is
enabled either by the TDV signal from decoder 612 when DTMF
dial signals are received, or by the B signal (inter-digit
time signal) from outpulse filter 604 when dial pulse train
~ignals are received. Then, the logic circuit 608, under
63

~,~787Z'~
the timing control of clock 610, causes the first digit to be
received by the B/D decoder 616 from counter 614. While it is
held in the B/D decoder 616, the first digit is tested for val-
idity by the control logic 608. If the first digit is a 0, 1,
2 or 9 (prefix code numbers), it is not passed to invalid dial-
ing trap circuit 620, but is held in function latch 618. If
the first digit is not a 0, 1, 2 or 9, it is passed to trap
circuit 620 in the form of a logic level signal on one of ten
conductors representing decimal numbers 0 through 9 in response
to a control logic 608 signal to trap circuit 620, which in turn
generates the SEND REORDER ADDR to output logic 622. This
command is executed by sending the reorder address (97) stored
in hardwired memory 624 through buffer 636, which has again
received an ENABLE signal from control timer 626 in response to
the SEND REORDER ~DDRESS signal, to the link address latches
748, 752 in response to the SEND MODE and SEND ADDR signals
sent in sequence to the output logic 622. The control timer
then resets itself, and sends the RESET IDLE signal to link
search circuit 628. As the control timer 626 goes through
these steps, it causes status indicator LED 644 to be momen-
tarily energized, followed by constant energization of LED 638
until the register status is changed by data received from
another register in the system.
The control logic 6~8 will cause each digit in a dialed
number to be passed in sequence to B/D decoder 616 for validity
testing, and the sequence of events described above will be
carried out in response to any invalid digit.
If the dialingnumber is valid, trap 620 sends a DIALING
DONE signal to register control timing circuit 626, which
responds by again sending an ENABLE signal to buffers 632, 634
and 636, and then providing the SEND MODE signal to output
64

~17872~
logic 622 to cause transmission of the logic level output repre-
sentative of a 0, 1, 7 or 9 from function latch 618 via the
appropriate one of the link data units paths through buffer
636 to the connected links' inputs to current mode latches 754.
Simultaneously, a pulse is sent by output logic 622 via a pre-
determined link data tone path through buffer 63~ to the conn-
ected links' inputs to mode latches 736. Register control
timing circuit then transmits a SEND ADDR signal to output logic
622, causing the address held in counter 614 to be sent through
output logic 622 and buffer 636 to the link address latches 748,
752. The register control timer 626 then sends a RESET IDLE
signal to link search circuit 628, which in turn terminates
the ENABLE signal to buffer 630, which responds by terminating
the LINK CONNECT signal to link connect logic 742.
When the dialed signals received through the link are
current pulse trains, the current detector 602 generates
corresponding digital logic level voltage pulses which are pas-
sed through pulse filter 604 to counter 614, which counts the
pulses and holds the digits represented thereby in four-bit
binary code for transmission to the B/D decoder 616 in the same
sequence in which the digits' respective pulse trains were
received, and in the same manner as described above in the case
of DT~IF dial signals.
The pulse filter circuit 604 generates four logic level
voltage outputs A, B, C and D which are fed to reset and time
out circuit 606 along with the TDV (tone data valid) signal
from tone decoder 612. The DIAL TONE ENABLE signal is generated
only when the A, B, D and TDV signals are logic 0s and C is
logic 1. Signal A is the filtered off-hook signal, which goes
high after receipt of the first dialed pulse and then goes lo~

1~.7872Z
during each pulse. Signal 8 is the inter-digit time signal,
which is high be~ each pulse train and low during each pulse
train. Signal C is the inverse of signal A, i.e., it is a vol-
tage duplicate of the dialed current pulse trains. Signal D
is the on-hook terminate signal, which is a logic 0 generated
when the caller's station set is on-hook, and thereby resets
the register. The TDV signal is normally low, and goes high
during each valid DTMF signal received. The signals A, B and
TDV are all utilized to trigger reset and time-out circuit
606 after it has been enabled to issue an output by the DIAL
TONE & DIALING signal from control timer 626. Specifically,
signal A triggers the timer 606 which measures the time from
its receipt of the SEND REG MODE signal from control timer
626 until the receipt of the first dialed signal (DTMF or pulse
trains). If this time period exceeds a predetermined maximum
(e.g., 10 seconds), the circuit 606 will cause the control
logic circuit 608 to send a signal to the trap circuit 620,
which responds by issuing the SEND REOP.DER ADDR signal. The
sequence of events described earlier will ensue. The B signal
triggers the timer 606 which measures the period between dialed
pulse trains. If that period exceeds a predetermined maximum
(e.g., 10 seconds), the circuit 606 causes generation of the
SEND REORDER ADDR in the manner described above. Signal C has
only the function of combining with signals A, B, D and TDV to
cause the circuit 606 to generate the DIAL TONE ENABLE signal.
Signal D also causes the termination of the SEND REORDER ADDR
signal by causing circuit 606 to terminate the signal it sent
to control logic 608 in response to signal A. The TDV signal
triggers the timer 606 which measures the period between the
termination of each DTMF signal and the initiation of the
following DTM~ signal. If that period exceeds a predetermined
66

~ ~8~72Z
maximum (e.g., 2 seconds), the circuit 606 generation
of the SEND REORDER ADDR signal as described above.
The register control timer 626 is connected to at least
one other register, with which it exchanges data indicating
register status. Specifically, if the register shown in the
drawing is in the ready status, the SEARCH ENABLE OUT signal
is present, and the SEARCH ENABLE IN signal from the other
register is absent, indicating that it is in the standby status.
The inverse is also true, i.e., if the register sho~n is in the
standby status, the SEARCH ENABLE OUT signal is absent, and the
SEARCH ENABLE IN signal from the other register is present,
indicating that it is in the ready status. If the register
shown is sending mode or address data to a link, the DATA LINK
ENABLE OUT signal is present and will prevent the other register
from sending mode or address data. If the other register is
sending mode or address data to a link, the DATA LINK ENABLE IN
signal is present, and will prevent the register shown in the
drawing from sending mode or address data. This mutual exclu-
sion feature is necessary because of the common data output
connections of all registers to all links. This complete
signalling arrangement causes the registers to share their
workload approximately equally, since the register which is
idle while the other is functioning and will handle the next
link request.
Referring specifically to Figure 9, the page card circuit
shown there includes five passive ports, one in each of zone 1,
zone 2, zone 3 and zone 4 circuits and one in the all-call
circuit. In the several zone circuits, each of which is iden-
tical to the zone 1 circuit shown in detail, a DC current sig-
nal-blocking transformer 402 has a shunt resistor 404 across
67

117872'~
one winding, both being connected to current sensor circuit
408, which is constructed in the same manner as the combination
current sensor-voltage sender in the link B-port (Figure 4),
and responds to a DC seize current (1.6 ma) received from an
active port of a station card 200 or link card 700 to generate
two voltages,one to the associated crosspoint(s) in the link
card (s) 700, and another as an input to voltage sender 410,
which in turn generates a DC voltage signal (-2v.) indicating
seizure to all of the station cards 200 to which the output of
voltage sender 410 is connected. A paging message can then be
transmitted from the seizing station card 200 or link card 700
through transformer 402, volume-controlling variable resistor 406,
resistor 412, normally-conductive MOSFET 414, and amplifier 416
to the group of station cards selected to form zone 1, each of
which receives the paging message as the PAGE input to the B-
port switching circuit 246. OR gate 422 also has received
the voltage output of current sensor circuit 408 as an input
which causes generation of the BG.~.~ DISABLE signal, which is fed
to the BGM interface circuit 530 on the tone card 500 (Figure 6)
to interrupt the transmission of background music until the
page card passive port is no longer seized. In the station card
200 associated with the station set 100 from which paging is
initiated, the PAGE ENABLE signal to JCT FET 291 in the B-port
switching circuit 246 (Figure 4) is terminated for as long as
the page button is depressed in the station set 100, so as to
block transmission of the paging message to the originator's
station set.
When the all-call passive port is seized b~ a DC current
signal (1.6 ma) from an active port of a station card 200,
current sensor 430 (identical to 408) generates one output
voltage to the associated crosspoint in the link 700 cards, and
68

117872'~
another voltage which causes generation of a DC voltage signal
(-2v.) by voltage sender 432, both voltages indicating seizure
of the all-call circuit to all the station cards 200 and link
cards 700 to which it is connected, and also causes generation
of the BGM DISABLE signal by OR gate 422. The output of voltage
sender 432 is fed as an input to OR gate 440, causing it to
render MOSFET 414 (and its counterparts in zone circuits 444,
446, and 448) non-conductive. Thus, an all-call page will
pre-empt a page to any single zone. The all-call page message
is received from the seizing station card 200 and transmitted
through transformer 424, normally-conductive MOSFET 434, and
resistor 438 to all of the zone circuits, which receive and
transmit the message to the station cards 200 in their respective
zones, e.g.,in the zone 1 circuit through resistor 420 to the
input of amplifier 416, the output of which is fed to the
station cards 200 in zone 1.
When the NR ENABLE signal is received from the night
ring control circuit 526 on tone card 500 (Figure 6), it is
fed as an input to OR gate 440, to inverter 436, and to JCT
FET 442. Consequently, any paging message is blocked because
MOSFET 414 and its counterparts are all driven non-conductive
by the output of OR gate 440, and the MOSFET 434 in the all-call
circuit is driven non-conductive by the output of inverter 436.
The CO AUDIBLE TONE is passed through JCT FET 442 and resistor
438 to all of the zone circuits (l) until the incoming call is
answered, thereby terminating the NR ENABLE signal as a result
of termination of the INCOMING CALL ENABLE to the tone card 500
because of termination of ringing detection in the line card
circuit 300, or (2) until the caller terminates the call before
it is answered, thereby causing the same sequence of signal
termination as in (1) above.

1~7872'~
Referring specifically to ~igure 10, the conference
card circuit 600 shown there consists of a passive port which
is of essentially the same construction as the hotline B-port
238 (Figure 4), the differences being that it does not provide
an outgoing communication path and, ~hen seized, causes the DC
output of voltage comparator 618 to go from +2v. to 0v. Thus,
the conference card circuit 600 acts only as a meeting point
for internal conferences, i.e., it is a passive port which
enables connection of all active ports which are connected to
it to each other. Once this circuit is seized by a first
caller, who has previously requested (e.g., by paging or by
intercom call) several other system users whose station sets
100 and station cards 200 have this feature to meet him by
actuating the conference button or key in each of their station
sets, the visual indicators associated with the conference
buttons will be energized in response to the 0v. DC output
voltage from voltage comparator 618, indicating that the con-
ference card circuit is in use. Thus, anyone whose station set
100 and station card 200 has this feature, but who has not been
requested to join the conference, will be aware that the con-
ference card circuit is in use and that he should not use this
feature. Ho~ever, any such uninvited system user can join in
a conference, since any number of station cards 2Q0 can seize
the conference card circuit simultaneously. There is no pro-
vision for exclusion, except by selection of the station sets
100 and station cards 200 which are to have this feature.
The four wire arrangement used in the preferred arrange-
ment of the key telephone system is illustrated in FIG. 11,
which shows in block diagram form the general aspects of any
four-wire path. Four conductors, 1,2 an~ 3,4 are shown connect-

~ 7872Z
ing a station circuit 10 and a key telephone station set 20.
Each conductor pair is terminated by a transformer. Trans-
formers Tl and T2 terminate the conductor pair 1,2 and con-
ductor pair 3,4 in key telephone set 20; transformers T3 and
T4 terminate conductor pair 1,2 and conductor pair 3,4 in
station circuit 10.
Each transformer has a center tap connection on the
transformer winding connected to the conductor pair. Center
tap connections are located at the telephone station set 20
(Cl and C2) and at the station circuit 10 (C3 and C4). A
"phantom circuit" is created via the center tap connections
C1 and C2, through the conductors 1, 2, 3, 4, to the center
taps C3 and C4 or transformers T3 and T4. This arrangement
creates a virtual third pair, known as a phantom pair,
because in a closed circuit connected to center taps C3 and
C4 of T3 and T4 and to center taps Cl and C2 of Tl and T2,
the current applied at a center tap point will divide at the
center tap connection, flow over two conductors, and be
received in recombined form at the center tap at the other
end.
Connected to both conductor pairs 1,2 and 3,4 at each
end is circuitry necessary to create a complete communication
channel. For exampie, at the key telephone station set 20,
circuit pairs 1,2 and 3,4 are inductively coupled by transformers
Tl and T2 to a function control network 30, controlled by a
programmed digital computer 40. The function control network 30
provides a communication path to the telephone handset hybrid
network 31 or to the speakerphone 32 of the key telephone station
set 20. Connected to the side opposite pair 1,2 of transformer
T3 in station circuit 10, is a conductor pair 5,6 for connection
to a central office line. Connected to the KSU side of trans-
71

1~.7872~
former T4 is a conductor pair 7,8 which may be connected via
switching circuits in the control unit to other key telephone
set conductor pairs. Thus, two independent voice paths via the
four conductors 1,2,3,4 are provided in the circuit arrangement
shown in FIG. 11.
Superimposed upon the voice paths such as Pl are means
for supplying power from the key service unit to the telephone
set 20 via the phantom pair comprising the center tap connections
C3, C4 through the balanced conductors 1,2,3,4 to the center
tap connections Cl and C2 of transformers Tl and T2. D.C.
voltage sources 110, 112, each of voltage El, are connected in
series with resistors Rl and R2 to center tap connections C3 and
C4. Digital data signals from the station circuit 10 are
superimposed on the phantom pair with the D.C. level supplied by
voltage sources 110, 112 by modulator 114.
In telephone station set 20, receiver circuit 150
responds to the D.C. voltage pulses appearing between center-tap
connections Cl and C2 of transformers Tl and T2 and produces a
data signal proportional to the data modulated by modulator
circuit 114 in station circuit 10. The output from receiver
150 is applied to digital computer 40 in the station set 20 for
controlling function control network 30 and switch and indicator
unit 50 within the station circuit 20.
An A.C. high impedance element 600 is connected in
series with voltage regulator 500 and constant current sink 300
to provide a circuit terminating phantom line 1,2 and 3,4 so as
to substantially eliminate reflections on the line 1,2 and 3,4.
Data is transmitted from the station set 20 to the
station circuit 10 over conductors 1,2,3,4 by applying data
pulses to modulator 200, which switches a resistor 201 in and
out of parallel connection with the phantom circuit connected

li787Z'~:
to center taps Cl and C2, the current of which is being supplied
by the station circuit 10. Because constant current sink 300
draws constant current from the closed circuit, and because
resistor 201 is switched in and out of parallel connection with
the constant current sink, current modulation in synchronism
with the station set 20 data signals is applied on conductors
1,2,3,4.
The current pulses are sensed at the station circuit 10
by receiver 400 by comparing the voltages across resistors Rl
and R2 which are proportional to current changes through them.
The data produced by receiver 400 is in response to the current
modulation imposed by modulator 200 in station set 20. Data
signals received by receiver 400 are then applied to logic
circuits within the central switching and control unit 1010 of
key service unit 1000 to provide information with respect to the
status of different switches of key telephone set 20. For
example, the data being supplied by digital computer 40 within
the station set 20 to modulator 200 includes the status of
different line keys in the station set or the status of an
indicator, the status of a hold key or privacy release key, etc.
Power is supplied from the station circuit 10 to the
station set 20 by applying D.C. current from the D.C. sources
110, 112 via the phantom circuit to station set 20 where it
flows through voltage regulator 500. Voltage regulator 500
divides and regulates the D.C. voltage supplied via the phantom
circuit and applies the divided and regulated voltage levels to
circuits within the station set 20.
FIGS. 12A and 12B illustrate a preferred format for the
data pulses which are applied to conductors 1,2,3,4 by the
station circuit 10 and the key telephone set 20. Each period of
time T, typically 20.4 milliseconds, is divided into thirty-four
73

~787Z'~
600 microsecond segments. The first word, called the "Oth" word,
is used as a synchronizing interval by the station set 20 digital
computer to determine the start of the periodic word sequence
of "message." The next 33 time segments, or words, are used in
sending and receiving data between station circuit 10 and
telephone set 20.
Each word is divided into five intervals. Although in
general the intervals may be divided equally in time for each
word, the preferred format in the key telephone system in which
the invention is used requires that the third, fourth and fifth
intervals each to be equal in time length, L, while the first
interval is specified to be of 1/2 L time length. The second
time interval is specified to be of 3/2 L time length. Time
length L is specified to be 120 microseconds, so as a result,
time intervals one through five, when summed, equal 5L for a
total of 600 microseconds. The data from the station circuit 10
to the station set 20 is applied during the first two of the
intervals. Data returning from the station set 20 is applied
during interval four. Intervals three and five remain idle.
Each word is designated to correspond to a particular
function or line of the station circuit 20. The key service
unit 1000 logic circuitry 1011 then scans each function once
every 20.4 milliseconds and applies information via the data
path to the station set 20 during the first and/or second interva]
of a word. The digital computer 40 in the station set 20
receives the data and uses it to control corresponding
functions, such as connection of a speakerphone, or physical
equipment, such as an indicator, in the station set. Current
pulse information regarding the status of a particular function
or element is transmitted during the fourth interval of each
74

:~1787Z'~
word from the station set 20 via the four conductor 1, 2, 3, 4
phantom circuit and is received in the station circuit 10 for
use by the central switching and control circuit 1010 in making
logic decisions for controlling the various elements and/or
functions of station set 20.
FIG. 12A illustrates how information pulses from
station circuit 10 to station set 20 are applied. The first
voltage pulse in time slot "1" (e.g., T 1 1 ~ T 2 1 ....T33 1) is
always present, thereby allowing digital computer 40 in station
set 20 to determine exactly when a new word is beginning. In
any word the station circuit 10 applies a "1" pulse during the
time interval "2" by maintaining the voltage pulse high. That
is, as illustrated for "Word 2" of FIG. 12A, the voltage pulse
extends from T2 1 through T2 2 without returning to zero. In
any word, the station circuit 10 applies a "0" pulse during the
time slot "2" by removing the voltage pulse existing during the
time slot "1". FIG. 12A illustrates how a "0" pulse is applied
during Word 1 and Word 33, where during the intervals Tl 2 and
T33 2 no voltage pulse is applied.
FIG. 12B illustrates how current pulses from the station
set 20 are impressed on the phantom circuit conductors 1,2,3,4
for reception by station circuit 10 logic circuitry. A current
pulse applied during the fourth interval of a word, as in Word 1
of FIG. 12B, indicates that a "1" is being transmitted from
station set 20 to control unit 10. The absence of a current
pulse applied during the fourth interval of a word, as in word 33
of FIG. 12B, indicates that a "0" is being transmitted from
station set 20 to station circuit 10.
In the key telephone system in which this invention is
used each particular word of the time period T is used to provide

11787Z'~
information for the control of and/or status of line keys,
indicators, hold keys, speakerphone circuit, etc. Although
thirty-four words are shown in this specification for purposes of
demonstrating the preferred embodiment of the data format of the
key telephone system, any number of words may be used to corres-
pond with the number of keys, indicators, and auxiliary circuits
existing in a particular key telephone system.
Another feature of the data format used in the key
telephone system relates to the manner in which information as
to the status of the hookswitch and dial pulsing of the telephone
station set 20 is transmitted to the key service unit 1000. As
illustrated in FIG. 12B, during each word, short width current
pulses during time interval two, are transmitted from the
telephone station set 20 over the phantom circuit of conductors
1,2,3,4 to the key service unit 1000, whenever the hookswitch
is closed. Time interval two is selected in the preferred em-
bodiment of the invention so that the frequently occurring hook-
switch current pulses are generated during the long time interval
two of each word, which is 3/2 L of the time length. This
design facilitates reception of the hookswitch pulses in the key
service unit, because the relatively short hookswitch pulses do
not overlap the ends of the time interval. A hookswitch signal
is applied from the station set 20 under two conditions: ~1) when
the status of the telephone station set is "on-hook" (on-hook
status occurs when the hookswitch is open and the speakerphone
is not in operation) or (2) when a dial pulse from a rotary
dial (or an electronic dial which generates dial pulses)
associated with the telephone station set is generated.
Thus, when the station set has an "on-hook" condition,
current pulses during the second interval of each word are
76

1~7872'~:
transmitted and continue to be transmitted until the on-hook
status is terminated (by the handset being taken "off-hook" or
by the speakerphone being turned on). During dial pulse signal-
ling, the current pulses are applied during the second interval
of each word during, but only during, the generation of each
dial pulse. The time period for each word of the data format,
illustrated in FIG. 12A, is sufficiently short with respect to the
length of a dial pulse that many "hookswitch" current pulses
are transmitted, one each during each of the words of the data
format. The presence or absence of current pulses received by
the key service unit 1000 in the second time interval indicate
that a dial pulse is being transmitted from the key telephone
set.
Thus, the data format of the key telephone system, in
combination with the four wire communication circuits, allows
telephone station sets adapted for dial pulse signalling or tele-
phone station sets adapted for frequency signalling to be
connected to rhe key service unit by means of the communication
circuit. Frequency signals are applied over one of the
communication channels 1,2 or 3,4 while dial pulse signals are
transmitted over the four conductor phantom circuits 1,2,3,4
by means of the data format as discussed above.
FIG. 13 illustrates the digital computer 40, indicated
in block diagram form in FIG. 11, and the external connections
to the microcomputer.
The preferred embodiment of the microcomputer in the
key telephone set 40 illustrated in FIG. 13 is the model
PPS-4/1 MM77 single circuit microcomputer system manufactured
by Rockwell International Corporation and described in Document
No. 29410-N42, Revision 1, July 1976, published by the Micro-
electronic Device Division of Rockwell International Corporation.
77

7Z'~
Microcomputer 40 receives data from receiver 150
(FIG. 11) on the "INT ~" lead, and applies signals to modulator
200 (FIG. 11) on the "Data 0" lead. Leads DI/00 to DI/09 and
leads RI/01 to RI/04 are used to access the switch matrix and
indicator matrix, schematically illustrated as key/indicator
array 50 and the function control network 30, schematically
illustrated in FIG. ll. Voltage input on lead VDD of microcom-
puter 40 is provided via a tap (not illustrated) from voltage
regulator 500. Other leads on the microcomputer 40 illustrated
in FIG. 13 are either not used or are not essential to the
understanding of how the microcomputer functions to control the
operation of the key telephone station set 20, in the key
telephone system.
FIG. 14 illustrates a switch matrix used in the key
telephone set of this invention which is periodically monitored
by the microcomputer 40. The switches are arranged in eight
columns and four rows. The switches in columns one through
seven are preferably non-locking switches; that is, when the keys
associated with the switches are depressed, the switches only
close while the keys are being pushed. Locking switches could,
of course, be used in another embodiment of the telephone set
of this invention. Switches in columns one through seven are
arranged on a key panel 50 as illustrated in FIG. ll. Switches
in columns 1 through 7 are associated with central office lines
and various functions which are incorporated in the key tele-
phone set of this invention as indicated in FIG. 16. The
switches in column 0 are not connected to the seven-by-four
key panel 50 on the face of the key telephone instrument (FIG. ll).
The switches in column 0, may be locking switches, or may be non-
locking, depending on their use, as will be explained in detailbelow.
78

117872;2
The switch matrix of FIG. 14 is arranged to conform
to the data format illustrated in FIGS. 12A and 12B. Of the
thirty-three words available for transmission of information
between the key telephone station set and the key service unit,
thirty-two of the words are associated with one of the switches
in the eight by four switch matrix. The additional word is
used for control purposes as will be explained below. The
function of the switch matrix of FIG. 14 is to present a signal
to the microcOmputer 40 in the key telephone set which can be
recognized and transmitted to the key service unit as a request
for a particular kind of service associated with one of the
switches in the matrix.
During the word associated with switch S4, the micro-
computer monitors the voltages on inputs designated as RI/01
and DI/01 to determine if switch S4 has been depressed. The
status of switch S4 is determined by microcomputer 40 during
word 4, by applying a positive 7.5 volt strobe pulse on lead
DI/01 while enabling lead RI/01. If switch S4 is open, a -7. 5
volt signal appears at point P4, because no current path exists
to drop the -7.5 volts of source E across the parallel resistors
R301 and R201. If switch S4 is closed and a ~7.5 volt pulse on
DI/01 is applied, the voltage at point P4 is approximately t7.5
volts because the -7.5 volts of source E and the t7.5 volt
pulse of DI/01 is dropped across resistors R201 and R301. Thus,
during word 4, if switch S4 is closed, a t7.5 volt signal is
applied on lead RI/01 and is sensed by microcomputer 40 for
transmission of a pulse during time segment 4 o~ word four, as
will be explained in detail below. During word five, a +7.5
volt pulse on lead DI/01 remains, but lead RI/02 is enabled to
sense whether or not the ~7. 5 volt pulse appears at point P5.
79

1~7872Z
All switches are sequentially sensed periodically according to
the format of FIG. 12. According to the above described switch
sensing scheme, microcomputer 40 can obtain input information
regarding the status of line and function switches of the key
telephone set for processing and transmission to the key service
unit.
FIG. 15 illustrates the LED matrix used to indicate the
status of each of the functions associated with switches of
column 1 through 7 and rows 1 through 4. Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) are used in the preferred embodiment of this invention
because of their extremely low power requirements, but other
embodiments of the visual indicator matrix could possibly employ
small light bulbs or equivalent devices. If it is desired to
illuminate, for example, the indicator associated with switch 4
(i.e., a key marked C.O. Line l-see FIG. 16) the LED of column
"A" and row "W" of FIG. lS is illuminated during, but only during,
word 4 of the data format. For example, the microcomputer
receives information from the key service unit that C.O. line 1
is active, and that the indicator associated with that line is to
be illuminated. During word 4, a pulse is received during the
second time segment (e.g., T2 4~ FIG. 12A). The microcomputer
responds by generating pulses on leads RI/05 and DI/01. These
pulses from the microcomputer, each of ~7.5 volts in value are
transformed by isolating circuits 100 and 110 to be -7.5 volts
on lead A and -12.6 volts on lead W. Application of these
voltages to LED 1 of FIG. 15 causes current to flow through it
for the duration of word 4.
It should be noted that even though LED 1 is pulsed
only during word 4, the period T of the data format assures that
it is illuminated once each period, or once each 20.4 milli-
seconds or approximately fifty times each second. To the human

~1787Z;~
eye, the indicator appears to be steadily lit, even though in
reality it is being pulsed for only about 600 microseconds out
of a period of 20.4 milliseconds. It is seen that the method
and apparatus of illuminating switch or key indicators of the
key telephone set yields tremendous economies of power, because
each indicator need not be continuously powered, yet to the
human eye, the indicator appears to be continuously illuminated.
FIG. 16 illustrates the functions assigned to each of
the switches of the switch matrix illustrated in FIG. 14.
Assignment of functions to switches is easily changed, because the
key of column 1 and row 4 (word 4) may be assigned to any central
office line connected to the key service unit. Likewise, the
key of column 1, row 4 (word 7) could be assigned a function
other than the "hold" function indicated in FIG. 16. For example,
if it were desired to designate the key or switch of column 6,
row 3 as the "hold" key, all that would be required would be to
lable key 26 as hold, remove the label from the key 7 and
designate word 26 of the data format to be associated with the
hold function. Each of the functions designated in FIG. 16 will
be described in detail below for an illustrative operation of the
key telephone set of this invention.
FIG. 17 illustrates the function control network 30
(see FIG. 11) which controls the handset hybrid network 31,
speakerphone 32, and dial 33. In normal use, the key telephone
set 20 of this invention connects its handset hybrid network 31
(hereinafter "handset") via the "A" path or conductors 1,2
through the key service unit switching and control unit to a
central office line designated by one of the C.O. keys illustrated
in FIGS. 14 ana 16. Path "B" is used ordinarily when an incoming
call is being received by the key telephone set from another key
81

1178722
telephone set in the key telephone system. An intercom call is
received and answered at the key telephone set via path "B" to
speakerphone 32 where the key telephone set user may receive the
caller's voice over built-in speaker 320 and transmit the user's
voice via microphone 321, both of which are components of
speakerphone 32.
In normal operation (handset 31 connected to "A" path)
the microcomputer 40 outputs a pulse on lead DI/08 which
is connected to the "C" input of integrated circuit
MC 14042 B (manufactured by the National Semiconductor
Corporation), hereinafter designated the "latch" circuit. When
a pulse is present on DI/08, the voltage state at RI/01 - RI/04
is transferred and held at outputs 0-3 of the latch circuit
(Q & Q). No input on lead C via microcomputer lead DI/08
causes the Q3 output lead to be low, and the Q3 output lead to
be high from this latch circuit. A high output on Q3 causes
field effect transistors FET 1 and FET 2 to conduct, thereby
connecting handset 31 to the "A" path and speakerphone 32 to the
"B" path. Field effect transistors FET 3 and FET 4 are turned
off because the output on lead Q3 is low.
When the key telephone set user desires to use the
built-in speakerphone 32, he may depress his speakerphone on/off
key (see FIG. 16, key 10) which, as explained below in the
description of the operation of the key telephone set, causes a
+7.5 input pulse on RI/04 at the time of the pulse on DI/08 from
microcomputer 40, which causes Q3 to be low and Q3 to be high.
When Q3 is low, FET 1 and FET 2 are cut off, disconnecting hand-
set 31 from the "A" path and speakerphone 32 from the "B" path~
Simultaneously, when Q3 is high, FET 3 and FET 4 are turned on,
connecting points P4 and P5, and P6 and P7, with the result
82

~7872'~
that handset 31 is connected to the "B" path, speakerphone 32
is connected to the "A" path.
The ke~ telephone set of this invention may be used
interchangeably with dial pulse signalling dials (as indicated in
FIG. 17 by circuit 33) or with frequency signalling dials (as
indicated in FIG. 17 by circuit 33'). Frequency dial signals are
applied over path "A" in the same manner as prior art
telephones. The dial pulses are applied, not via paths "A" or
"B," but as a sequence of "hookswitch" pulses transmitted to the
key service unit to be reconstituted as central office dial
pulse signals or to be used internally for intercom signalling.
The dial pulse signalling circuit 33 is controlled via an output
from microcomputer 40 via the latch circuit which continuously
applies an enabling voltage to transistor T33 during a certain
time after the telephone handset has been picked up or after
the speakerphone has been enabled, etc.
As shown in FIG. 17,during the make period of
breaker 35 (normal operation when no signalling is being con-
ducted), if transistor T33 is conducting (i.e. the dial is
enabled via latch output Ql), input A of "OR" gate 01 will be
driven to -7.5V. Input B of OR gate 01 will also be at -7.5 V
due to the "off hook" status of station set hookswitch H.S. Thus,
no output signal is applied to the microcomputer via lead
INT 1 and no hookswitch pulses are applied to the KSU in the
words of the data message.
During a dial break period (e.g., breaker 35 is open)
input A of OR gate 01 is driven to ~7.5 V via resistor R901;
thus the output of OR gate 01 will be at +7.5 V. The high
voltage applied to microcomputer input lead INT l via the output
of OR gate 01 causes the microcomputer to transmit hookswitch
signal pulses during each word of the message as long as the
83

1~787ZZ
dial pulse breaker 35 is open. Of course if the handset is on
hook, the hookswitch HS is open, a high output via input B of
OR gate 01 is applied to lead INT 1, and the microcomputer
continually transmits hookswitch pulses to the KSU.
As indicated previously, a hookswitch signal during
interval two of each word is applied from the microcomputer 40
via the phantom circuit to the key service unit under two
conditions: (1) when the status of the telephone station set is
"on hook" (when a hookswitch HS is open and the speakerphone is
not operational) or (2) when a dial pulse from a rotary dial is
generated. When the user picks up the handset, the hookswitch
HS closes and hookswitch pulses are terminated, except during
dialing, when pulses are generated by periodically opening a
switch, in the same manner as the hookswitch is opened when the
handset is "on hook."
Background music is applied to the speaker 320 of the
key telephone set from the key service unit via the "B" path.
When the switch 1 of the switching matrix illustrated in FIG. 16
is depressed, the microcomputer 40 sends a signal in word 1
of the data format to the key service unit indicating that back-
ground music is desired at the key telephone set, whereupon the
key service unit applies background music to path "B" of the
key telephone s~t requesting music, and applies a pulse in time
segment 2 of word 1 indicating to the microcomputer that the
music bypass circuit of FIG. 17 is to be activated. When the Q2
of latch circuit is high, the music signal on path B is applied
directly to the speaker 320, yet the microphone 321 is rendered
inactive because of the low signal on Q2 to the Bypass lead
connected to the gate FET 6.

In summary, the electronic key telephone systems and the
various component circuits thereof disclosed herein provide a
high degree of reliability owin~ to the distribution of control
on a station-by-station basis and implementation of the control
of each ~tation by means of a stored-program digital micro-
computer with non-volatile program storage. A high degree of
flexibility is also provided by the removable microcomputer,
which may be either replaced by another microcomputer ~ith a
different program, or reprogrammed and re-inserted into the
ætation card circuit 200, in order to implement different or
additional telephone services. The program set forth herein
on pages 21 through 44 will enable the statioD card 200, in
cooperation with the various other system circuits 100-700,
to provide the various telephone services and features listed
hereunder:
1. Handsfree talkback on intercom calls to another station
set: the called party can answer from across his desk or
across the room without touching the telephone. A
volume switch is provided to control the volume of transmissions
received handsfree without affecting the volume setting for
background music.
2. Handsfree origination for both iDternal and Central Office
line calls: by depressing a handsfree key, and then depressing
either the key for the desired internal station, or the key
for a C.O. line, the caller can both dial a ca'l and then con-
duct a handsfree conversation by means of a speakerphone built
into the station æet without ever lifting the handset.
3. ~ulti-line conferencing: the caller can establish a first
C.O. line call, put it on hold, establish a second C.O. line
call, put it on hold, and then depress both C.O. line keys to
establish a conference between the caller and the two outside
parties.
4. Busy 6tation di~play: provided at all station sets to allou

a caller to know what stations, C.O. lines, etc. are busy before
placing a call.
5. ~usic-on-hold: provided to any outside party on a held
C.O. line.
6. Background music: provided to system users at their station
sets, which have an on/off/volume control switch to enable a
user to control the level of background music without affecting
the volume setting for the handsfree feature.
7. Simultaneous call handling: the systems allow two simultan-
eous calls to be on any station set at the same time, one on thehandset and one on the speakerphone, without having to place
either call on hold.
8. Automatic privacy: no action needs to be taken by a station
set user to ensure privacy, but he may release the privacy
feature to allow other station set users to have access to the
called C.O. line.
9. Paging: the systems provide for paging to as many as five
zones, plus all-call paging to all zones, each accessed by
different dial codes. Also, each station set has a paging key
that may be used to access any one of the zones or all-call
directly, without dialing.
10. ~eet-me conference: internal group conferences may be
held by having each conferee depress a conference key on his
station set, which connects each of the conferees' station sets
to every other conferee's station set.
11. I-hold signalling: the visual indicator on the line(s)
which a user has put on hold flashes in a distinctive manner to
identify those lines.
12. Hotlines(s): each station set can reach one or more other
station sets directly, without dialing, by depressing a hotline
key. Access to a hotline-connected station set is guaranteed,
even if it is in use.

13. Single key intercom operation: an intercom key on the
station set may be depressed to seize the first available
link and register, by means of which a caller may dial an
internal call. Intercom calling may be conducted handsfree by
the caller and the called party, and may continue for unlimited
periods of time without tying up registers. For privacy, or if
in an environment with a high ambient noise level, the caller
or the called party may switch the call to his handset by
picking up his handset.
14. Access to lines that do nGt appear at the telephone: in
a non-square system, or a system having private lines, a user
may dial into a line that does not appear at his station set
by depressing the intercom key and dialing a pre-determined
number.
15. Handsfree mute: by depressing a mute key in the station
set, the user can disable the microphone which is normally
operative in the handsfree mode. Thus, handsfree calls can be
placed in a monitor-only mode. A caller may also establish
privacy to talk to someone at his location without the called
party overhearing. A second depression of the mute key re-
enables the microphone.
16. Do not disturb: by depressing a DND key in the station
set, it is made to appear busy to all internal calls. A sub-
sequent depression of this key restores the station set to
normal availability.
17. Alternate point answering (call steal): an internal call
may be answered from another telephone using the intercom key
to seize a link and register, and then dialing 2 folloued by
the number of the telephone to which the call is directed. If
the call is a handsfree voice call, it may be intercepted
in this manner only within about 30 seconds after it has been

received. If the call is an ICM RING call, it may be inter-
cepted in this manner for as long as the caller is ringing.
The advantages of the present invention, as well as
certain changes and modifications to the disclosed embodiments
thereof, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
It is the applicant's intention to cover all those changes and
modifications which could be made to the embodiments of the
invention herein chosen for the purposes of the disclosure
without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
