A&B Bit

A&B Bit is used in digital environments to convey signaling information. A bit equal to one generally corresponds to loop current flowing in an analog environment; A bit value of zero corresponds to no loop Current, i.e. to no connection. Other signals are made by changing bit values: for example, a flash-hook is sent by briefly setting the A bit to zero.
