Switched 56
service 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.
switchhook flash 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.”
switch identifier 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.
synchronous data
transmission Method of transmitting a continuous digital data stream in
which the transmission of each binary
