Also known as Signalling System Direct Current No. 10 (SSDC10)
this is another short distance PBX interlinking system. The
link is a 2 wire system , A and B, with signalling being achieved
by application of combinations of negative battery voltage,
earth and loop (A and B connected together) to the wires along
with two way speech. The battery voltage is usually 50 volts.
The table below shows the conditions applied to the wires
during the various stages of a call. In some cases the duration
of the condition is important and in such cases the duration
is also shown.

The Delay Dial, Proceed To Dial and Aux signals are optional
and will not be used on all links of this type.
