Digital line signaling sets the line to be idle or seized according to the state of the trunk. This signaling
is transmitted through timeslot 16. The two transmission directions of each line have four bits (A, B, C and
D) as flag bits, with C and D bits fixed to 01. The forward line signaling adopts a
f
and b
f
bits, and the
backward line signaling adopts a
b
and b
b
bits, as shown in Table 2:

R2 digital line signaling exchange includes the following processes:
• Call establishment.
When the circuit is idle, the originating side sends a forward seizure signal (00) to the terminating
side, and the terminating side sends back a seizure acknowledgement signal (11). Then the circuit
is seized, and interregister signaling exchange begins. When the called party picks up the phone,
the terminating side sends a backward answer signal (01). After the originating side recognizes
the received signal, it establishes the call.
