ABSTRACT:
An electronic telephone system has a plurality of extensions connected radially to a central equipment by respective cables each providing separate speech and signalling paths. Each of the signalling paths is provided by a balanced conductor pair terminated by a matching impedance at the extension unit. The conductor pairs are connected to a common control unit at the central equipment, which scans the extensions in a time-division multiplex mode, signalling data being transmitted over the conductor pair from the addressed extension to the control unit in a first period of the time slot allotted to the extension, and signalling data being transmitted from the control unit to the addressed extension in a second period of the allotted time slot. The system is also served by a number of trunks, which are scanned by the common control unit, the trunks being interfaced with the central equipment by interface units which include protective circuitry and logic control circuits.
