Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a line circuit for network line junctor and more particularly to a dialling device. The dialling device according to the invention presents a high impedance for the direct current, the direct current being regulated about a predetermined threshold by means of an electronic choke, the regulation being controlled by a control circuit formed by an RC circuit with large time constant, by a diode and a capacitor. The invention is more particularly applicable to private switching equipment or to subscribers' terminals.
