The outbound side starts to send the address information using DTMF tones or decadic pulses. If the method is decadic pulses, the Af bit is switched off (pulse on) and on (pulse off) repeatedly to signal the digits. |

All the address information has been transferred. Now the inbound side must accept or reject the call by sending a wink: a temporary change in the bit pattern. The bit pattern is AB=10 if the inbound accepts the call, AB=01 if it rejects the call. |

If the call is accepted, the inbound side plays a ring tone on the line after resuming to signal AB = 11 (seizure acknowledged). If the call is rejected, the outbound side switches back to signaling AB = 01 (idle), clearing the line. |

The outbound protocol can receive billing pulses to signal that a unit of cost has been billed to the call. In this case, the answer pattern (AB = 00) from inbound temporarily changes to AB = 10. Billing pulses are generated by the network, not by the inbound terminal. |

Depending on which side hangs up the call first, a clear back signal or a clear forward signal is generated. A period of release guard from inbound follows both signals, meaning acknowledgment of the clear operation. Idle follows. |
