Abstract

A tone source is located at each telephone set of a private branch exchange (PBX) or a key telephone system. The tone source provides call progress tones and warble ring tone, as well as a feedback tone in response to the depression of telephone set keypad buttons by the user. The signaling to the central system unit is transmitted via a digital link.
