DTMF
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency
Dual Homing
An STM-1/STM-4 ring with AM-1 Plus equipment can be dual homed on a ring
consisting of Metropolis
WaveStar® ADM 16/1. Also STM-16 rings can be dual homed with the ADM
Metropolis® (Universal shelf)).
Dual-Node Interworking
Dual Node Interworking (DNI) is a configuration of two ring networks that share two
common nodes. DNI allows a circuit with one termination in one ring and one
termination in another ring to survive a loss-of-signal failure of the shared node that is
currently carrying service for the circuit.
