(System Programming and Maintenance) DOS -, UNIX-, or
Windows-based application for programming the system.
Configuration in Key mode operation in which all outside
lines appear on all telephones.
A private network arrangement where either three or more
communications systems are connected with one system
acting as the hub system . See also series configuration .

DS1 Switched 56 service is an end-to-end digital, 56-kbps,
full duplex, synchronous, circuit-switched service offering.
The service is offered by network service providers and by
some Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) as circuit-switched,
56-kbps service. T1-emulated tandem tie trunks in a private
network can be programmed for data.
Momentary (320 ms to 1 second) on-hook signal used as a
control; may be directed to the control unit or to a host
switch outside the system. Also called "Recall" or "timed
flash."
A number assigned to a tandem trunk in a private network .
It identifies the system connected to the far end of the
trunk. Switch identifiers are based on the type of system
and its distance from the system where the identifier is
assigned. See also satellite system and non-satellite
system .
Method of transmitting a continuous digital data stream in
which the transmission of each binary bit is synchronized
with a master clock. See also asynchronous data
transmission .
Test of all trunks, telephones, data terminals, and features
after installation to ensure that they are working correctly.
See SA buttons .
Date and time that appear on MLX display telephones and
SMDR reports.
Programming of system functions and features that affect
most users, performed from an MLX-20L telephone or a
computer using SPM . See also extension programming
and centralized telephone programming.
