#145877 - Your circuit diagram shows it adequately
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The earth side, whether that's tip or ring, is typically clamped to near earth as shown, but also similarly in the application circuit, albeit at a lower voltage, often typically 80 volts, which is a nominal value for the peak above nominal GND on the positive side of the loop.

I don't remember whether it's tip or ring that gets the nominally earth side during the on-hook state, but, viewed from the standpoint of battery being at -48 volts, the ring signal is as I previously described it, and is easily detected by rectifying the signal relative to GND, and subsequently attenuating it as needed.

I'm not expert in these matters, though I have built circuitry that met standards and did no harm.
