ABSTRACT:
A method and circuit for loopback testing a telephone subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) includes current sources connected to each of tip and ring circuits from which switch-hook is detected in the SLIC. A loopback test of the SLIC is conducted when the telephone is on-hook and is successful when the current from the current sources simulates a switch-hook detection, The current sources may also be used during on-hook transmission. A ground key detect circuit in the SLIC may be used to verify a successful loopback test by using current from the current sources in the ground key detect circuit to check for a grounded ring circuit in the SLIC.
