Hello, we have ground-start analog lines connecting into our gateway and believe there is an issue with one of the lines.
Is there any good way to test ground-start analog lines? With loop-start lines I simply use an analog phone to test if an analog line is either good or bad. What can I do for ground-start lines?
Thank you!

With a buttset. A good one can be expensive.

You have to hook up a buttset then place a ground across the two terminals.

Hi Ryan,
Just to add another hint to the good tips from Paolo and Brian
If you terminate this line on a standard "surface mount " jack (rj11)
that has accessable "spade tip" style terminals and then plug an Analog
phone into the jack, you should be able to touch a ground to the 'Ring" side
of the line while off-hook to pull dialtone.
Cheers!

Five stars for you too Rob.
I always wanted to own a buttset but never did

Turns out the router has FXS cards in it
I'm sending out FXO cards today.
