In telephony, a ground start or GST is a method of signaling from a terminal or subscriber local loop to a telephone exchange, in which method a cable pair is temporarily grounded to request dial tone. In Telecommunication, telephony (təˈlɛfəni or teh-LEH-fuh-nee encompasses the general use of equipment to provide voice communication over distances specifically In the context of Telecommunications a terminal is a device which is capable of communicating over a line In Telephony, the local loop (also referred to as a subscriber line) is the physical link or circuit that connects from the Demarcation point of the In the field of Telecommunications, a telephone exchange or telephone switch is a system of electronic components that connects telephone calls Most middle 20th century American payphones used "coin first" ground start lines, with the starting ground passing through the coin itself. A payphone or pay phone is a public Telephone, with payment made by inserting money (usually coins or a Debit card (a special Telephone card
Ground start trunk
Local telephone companies typically provide two types of dial tone switched trunks -- ground start and loop start. In Telecommunications, a loop start is a supervisory signal given by a Telephone or PBX in response to the completion of the loop circuit, commonly PBXs work best on ground start trunks because those trunks can give them an on hook signal allowing for timely clearing (telecommunications). In Telephony, the term on-hook has the following meanings The condition that exists when a Telephone or other user instrument is not Clearing, in Telecommunications means A Sequence of events used to disconnect a call and return to the ready state Many will work -- albeit intermittently -- on both types.
Normal single line phones and key systems typically work on loop start lines. A key system or key telephone system is a multiline Telephone system typically used in small office environments A PBX user must be careful to order the correct type of trunk line from the local phone company and correctly install the telephone system at the PBX end -- so that they match.

Crossbar switch did it by a paper sleeve on the Vertical Off Normal contact, 5ESS switch by translation, and DMS-100 by a slide switch on the line card, all according to what the customer ordered. A crossbar switch (also known as cross-point switch, crosspoint switch, or matrix switch) is a Switch connecting multiple inputs to multiple The 5ESS Switch is the Class 5 telephone Electronic switching system sold by Alcatel-Lucent.

Technically, a ground start trunk initiates an outgoing trunk seizure on an idle circuit by applying a momentary connection to ground (maximum local resistance of 550 ohms). In an idle circuit, the CO is giving -48v (nominally) on the Ring and an open on the Tip. When the PBX merely shorts the pair, this does not operate the Line Relay in the CO, hence the line remains idle. In order to start the line, the PBX applies a ground to the shorted pair, which operates the Line Relay, causing the CO to send dial tone. A dial tone (known in the British Isles as a dialling tone) is a Telephony signal used to indicate that the Telephone exchange is working Along with dial tone, the CO puts a ground on the Tip side. The PBX senses the resulting voltage difference across the pair, releases its Ground Start condition, maintains the connection as a simple current loop, and outpulses the telephone number. A telephone number or phone number is a sequence of numbers used to call from one Telephone line to another in a Telephone network. When conversation is finished and the line is to be cleared, the CO removes the short across the pair, and the PBX accepts this on-hook condition as indicating an idle line. In Telephony, the term on-hook has the following meanings The condition that exists when a Telephone or other user instrument is not
