Busy verification

Busy verification: In a public switched telephone network, a network-provided service feature that permits an attendant to verify the busy or idle state[?] of station lines and to break into the conversation.

Note: A 440-Hz tone is applied to the line for 2 seconds, followed by a 0.5-second burst[?] every 10 seconds, to alert both parties that the attendant is connected to the circuit.
