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
