LSDS and CLID trunk card failure 2

[deadringer22004]

Has anyone come up with a fix for the Norstar LSDS and CLID trunk card failure for systems that are very close to the telephone central office. This is for the lines that have high ring trip current. I know that Nortel says that they have a resistive cable to use but if I know what that resistance is I could just build in some resistance.

Thank you for now.

I usually just set to Short CO. I haven't had many recurrent issues... The CO should be able to pad their pots, too.

When I was at the Bell System many moons ago we used to add about 100 ohms to each side of the line to reduce line current and keep the line balanced.

Thanks for the "insider confirmation". I have run into CO techs out there that claim it can't be done. Those of us that have been around a while know better.
