The ASIM is desktop mounted and is used to originate and to answer data
calls. It supports the following:
• Keyboard and keypad dialing for asynchronous calling
• Keypad dialing only for synchronous calling
• Automatic set relocation
A Multi-Channel Data System (MCDS) accesses a multiple port computer
and takes the place of several ADMs. The 4-port MCDS Asynchronous Card
(MCDS-AC) performs the same functions as four separate ADMs.
The operations of the Meridian data station described in this publication
should be performed after installation to ensure that each ADM is functional
and is properly configured to provide the data service the customer requires.
