Abstract
In a digital and electronic switching apparatus, each subscriber's circuit is provided with a loop back circuit which selectively return a downward channel signal to an upward channel in order that a ring back tone informing a calling telephone set of the fact that a called telephone set is being dialed can be synchronized with a ringing tone dialing a called telephone set. Upon dialing a called subscriber, the loop back circuit is ON-OFF controlled in synchronism with the ON-OFF control of the ringing tone so that a tone signal generated from a common continuous ring back tone source can be transmitted to the loop back circuit and the calling telephone set via a speech path of a switching network.
