reverse-battery signaling

Loop signaling in which battery and ground are reversed on the tip and ring of the loop to give an "off-hook" signal when the call receiver answers. (188) Note: Reverse-battery signaling may be used either for a short period, or for the duration of a call, to indicate that it is a toll call.
