ABSTRACT:
A two-line subscriber system (10) includes a remote channel unit (20) coupled to a central office (14) by a single telephone line (16). The remote channel unit (20) provides additional line capability to a customer premises (18) by allowing a first telecommunications unit (22) and a second telecommunications unit (24) to operate despite having only a single telephone line (16). The remote channel unit (20) operates from a local power source (26), such as a battery or customer premises alternating current, to provide operating power to the first telecommunications unit (22) and the second telecommunications unit (24). In response to a loss of the local power source (26), the remote channel unit (20) cuts a connection to the second telecommunications unit (24) and passes line power from the single telephone line (16) to the first telecommunications unit (22) for continued operation of the first telecommunications unit (22).
