(Automatic Line Selection) Programmed order in which the
system makes outside lines available to a user.
(alternate mark inversion) Line coding format in which a
binary one is represented by a positive or negative pulse,
a binary zero is represented by no line signal, and
subsequent binary ones must alternate in polarity;
otherwise, a bipolar violation occurs. AMI is used in the
DS1 interface.
Mode of transmission in which information is represented
in continuously variable physical quantities such as
amplitude, frequency, phase, or resistance. See also
