Abstract

Standard telephone handset ports provide a bias voltage for any attached peripheral devices. The present invention provides bi-directional control signaling where telephone sets vary the bias voltage for detection by peripheral devices and where the peripheral devices provide short, load, and no-load conditions for detection by the telephone sets using the bias voltage.
