Delay-Dial Tie Trunk
After a request for service (called a seizure) is detected on an incoming trunk, the
system sends a momentary signal followed by a steady tone over the trunk. This
informs the calling party that dialing can start. This type of trunk allows dialing
directly into the system.
That is, the digits are received as they are dialed.
Digital Data Endpoints
In System 25, digital data endpoints include any digital device providing a RS-232C
connection interface to the switch. The connection is via Asynchronous Data Units
(ADUs) to the switch.
Direct Extension Selector (DXS) Console
An option at the attendant console that allows an attendant direct access to voice
terminals by pressing a Group Select button and a DXS button.
