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.
See Modem Data Station
Also known as the MERLIN multiline telephone, this
telephone transmits and receives analog signals and has a
number of line buttons.
Mode of transmission in which information is represented in
continuously variable physical quantities, such as
amplitude, frequency, phase, or resistance. See also
Transmission .
Automatic Number Identification . Process of automatically
identifying a caller's billing number and transmitting that
number from the caller's local central office to another point
on or off the public network.
Software and/or hardware that adds functional capabilities
to the system. For example, MERLIN Identifier is an
application that provides caller identification information
(if available in the local area or jurisdiction).
Automatic Route Selection . System feature that routes calls
on outside facilities according to the number dialed and
line/trunk availability. To initiate ARS, the user dials a dial-
out code , also called an "ARS access code."
American Society of Composers, Artists, and Producers .
ISDN-BRI bridge/router that enables high-speed Internet
access over a digital facility. It makes outgoing calls only.
AT&T Switched Network . AT&T telecommunications
services provided through an Integrated Digital Services
Network Primary Rate Interface (ISDN-PRI) trunk,
ACCUNET switched digital service, MEGACOM ,
MEGACOM 800 , Software Defined Network ( SDN ),
Multiquest, and Shared Access for Switch Services
(SASS).
Method of transmitting a short bitstream of digital data,
such as printable characters represented by a 7- or 8- bit
ASCII code. Each string of data bits is preceded by a start
bit and followed by a stop bit, thus permitting data to be
transmitted at irregular intervals. See also
Data Transmission .
Application with equipment that connects to one or more
tip/ring extension jacks and automatically answers
incoming calls with a recorded announcement; directs calls
in response to touch tones.
