## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a solution of line and relay in an analog subscriber board used in a voice network, more specifically, to a solution of line and relay in an analog subscriber board in which the number of the relay is reduced.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
In a voice network, each subscriber group has a common ring bus and a test bus. Moreover, each subscriber in the subscriber group has an independent subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC).
On an analog subscriber board, the basic functions of talking and ringing must be provided for each subscriber in a group. In addition, the different functions of testing and monitoring should be provided selectively for subscriber according to the requirements of different voice networks.
In order to perform these functions, three relays are provided for each subscriber on an analog subscriber board of the prior art, which are connected to the ring bus, the test bus, the subscriber line interface circuit and the subscriber line respectively, as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the connection of relays on an analog subscriber board of the prior art, wherein only three relays K1, K2, K3 relevant directly to controlling and realizing the various functions of a voice network, as well as ring bus 2, test bus 3, subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) 1 and subscriber line 4 are shown, while other parts being not in the drawing. In this drawing, subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) 1 is connected to movable contact point K11 of relay K1, ring bus 2 is connected to another movable contact point K12 of relay K1, test bus 3 is connected to static contact point K33 of relay K3, subscriber line 4 is connected to movable contact point K21 of relay K2 and movable contact point K32 of relay K3 simultaneously. Static contact point 13 of relay K1 is connected to static contact point K23 of relay K2, another movable contact point K22 of relay K2 is connected to another movable contact point K31 of relay K3.
In FIG. 1, for simplification, ring bus 2, test bus 3, subscriber line interface circuit 1 and subscriber line 4 are all indicated by single-lines. In an actual voice network all lines are constituted of double-lines. Especially, subscriber line interface circuit 1 and subscriber line 4 should be constituted of the pair of TIP/RING double-line. Correspondingly, the contact points of various relays should be twice as many as shown in FIG. 1.
In FIG. 1, for simplification, only one subscriber is shown in the connection schematic diagram. In an actual application, subscriber line interface circuit 1 and subscriber line 4 are for each subscriber solely, but ring bus 2 and test bus 3 are common to all subscribers in a group. A plurality of analog voice functions can be provided by providing three relays K1, K2, K3 for each subscriber respectively.
When subscriber line 4 of a subscriber is connected to subscriber line interface circuit 1 of the subscriber, the analog subscriber board realizes the talking/idle function of the subscriber; when subscriber line 4 is connected to ring bus 2, the analog subscriber board realizes the ringing function of the subscriber; when subscriber line 4 is connected to test bus 3 and subscriber line interface circuit 1 of the subscriber simultaneously, the analog subscriber board realizes the talking monitoring function for the subscriber; when subscriber line 4 is connected to ring bus 2 and test bus 3 simultaneously, the analog subscriber board realizes the ringing monitoring function for the subscriber; when test bus 3 is connected to subscriber line interface circuit 1 of a subscriber, the analog subscriber board realizes the function for testing the subscriber line interface circuit of the subscriber; when test bus 3 is connected to ring bus 2, the analog subscriber board realizes the ring testing function; when test bus 3 is connected to subscriber line 4 of a subscriber, the analog subscriber board realizes the function for testing the subscriber line of the subscriber.
Table 1 shows the realization of the various functions of the analog subscriber board in FIG. 1. Various functions can be realized by controlling the states of three relays K1, K2, K3 (that is, the movable contact point is turned on) respectively.

More specifically, when relay K2 is controlled to turn on movable contact point K21 connected to subscriber line 4, the analog subscriber board realizes the basic functions (talking/idle or ringing) or the monitoring functions (talking monitoring or ringing monitoring), wherein when relay K3 turns on movable contact point K31 connected to relay K2, the analog subscriber board realizes correspondingly the talking/idle function or ringing function respectively according to that relay K1 turns on movable contact point K11 connected to subscriber line interface circuit 1 or turns on movable contact point K12 connected to ring bus 2; when relay K3 turns on movable contact point K32 connected to subscriber line 4, the analog subscriber board realizes correspondingly the talking monitoring function or ringing monitoring function respectively according to that relay K1 turns on movable contact point K11 connected to subscriber line interface circuit 1 or turns on movable contact point K12 connected to ring bus 2.
When relay K2 is controlled to turn on movable contact point K22 connected to relay K3, the analog subscriber board realizes testing functions (testing the subscriber line, subscriber line interface circuit or ring), wherein when relay K3 turns on movable contact point K32 connected to subscriber line 4, the analog subscriber board realizes the function for testing the subscriber line; when relay K3 turns on movable contact point K31 connected to relay K2, the analog subscriber board realizes correspondingly the functions for testing the subscriber line interface circuit or testing the ring respectively according to that relay K1 turns on movable contact point K11 connected to subscriber line interface circuit 1 or turns on movable contact point K12 connected to ring bus 2.
Hence, the analog subscriber board realizes the various basic functions and the testing and monitoring functions by controlling the states of three relays respectively.
Three relays must be provided for each subscriber on this kind of analog subscriber board. However, relays occupy relatively large space, which is unfavorable for the design of the subscriber board. More essentially, relay has a high cost, for example, the relay of Fujistu FBR12ND04-P-25 type costs 3.6 yuan R.M.B. each. It is evident that the analog subscriber board having a less number of relay becomes the object of research of various providers because the manufacturing cost of the subscriber board is limited by the number of relays used.

Hence, the analog subscriber board can realize the functions of talking/idle, ringing, testing subscriber line, testing subscriber line interface circuit and testing ring by providing two relays for each subscriber and two common relays in a subscriber group. Although the analog monitoring function is lost, it can be supplemented with digital monitoring, so that all functions can be realized.
In addition, since a state of separating connection is provided, the idle subscriber line can be separated from the whole voice system, so that the influence on other lines resulting from interferences and abnormal signals can be avoided, and the errors can be reduced.
Moreover, when the ringing function is not needed by any subscriber in a group and testing ring is not performed, ring bus 2 can be separated from the subscriber group by controlling KC to be off, so that the power consumption of the ring bus can be decreased.
In above embodiments in FIG. 2 ̃FIG. 6, for simplification, ring bus 2, test bus 3, subscriber line interface circuit 1 and subscriber line 4 are indicated with single-lines. In an actual voice network, all lines must be constituted of double-lines, as shown in FIG. 7. Correspondingly, every relay must be changed from single-line relay to double-line relay.
However, schematic diagram with single-lines can clearly indicate the connection relation of the lines in the invention, and those technical personnel in this field can obtain directly the connection diagram with double-line with respect to FIG. 2 ̃FIG. 5 according to the corresponding relation between FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, so that the schematic diagram with single-line is used directly to indicate the connection relation of the lines in the invention.
For example, FIG. 7 is a diagram with double-lines showing the actual connecting principle of the relays and the subscriber group relays in an analog subscriber board in FIG. 6. It can be seen in FIG. 7 that every line in FIG. 6 is replaced with double-line and the relays with single-line are changed correspondingly to the relays with double-line, wherein it is well known in this field that the subscriber line interface circuit and the subscriber line are constituted of the pair of TIP/RING with double-line, and their TIPs/RINGs correspond with each other when the pair of TIP/RING with double-line are connected.
To sum up from above, in order to reduce the number of the whole relays provided, the technical solution of the invention provides each subscriber with two relays to connect the subscriber line interface circuit, the subscriber line, the ring bus and the test bus, realizing the basic functions relevant to the talking, such as talking, ringing, etc. In order to add the auxiliary functions such as the testing function and the monitoring function, at least one relay can be supplemented in a subscriber group, the subscriber group relays together with above two subscriber relays will be used to connect the subscriber line interface circuit, the subscriber line, the ring bus and the test bus to perform the basic functions relevant to talking and the auxiliary functions such as testing, monitoring, etc. Compared with the prior art, the number of whole relays in the analog subscriber board of the invention is reduced, so that the whole cost of the subscriber board is decreased.
In contrast with the invention, the relays relevant to the auxiliary functions of the analog subscriber board of the prior art are provided in the subscriber, so that the number of whole relays provided must be increased.
Two subscriber relays and the subscriber group relays of the invention can be connected to the subscriber line interface circuit, the subscriber line, the ring bus and the test bus in various ways, as shown in FIGS. 2 ̃6, and above-mentioned embodiments are not intended to exhaust all aspects of the invention.
