Processor Data Module (PDM)
Trunk Data Module (TDM)
The Trunk Data Module (TDM) provides an RS-232-C DTE interface for connection to off-
premises private line trunk facilities or a switched network telecommunications network and a
DCP interface for connection to the digital switch.
The TDM can serve as part of a conversion resource for modem pooling. The conversion
resource performs the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions that allow the analog
and DCP data endpoints to communicate. A single conversion resource consists of a modem
and a TDM connected at the RS-232-C interface.
The TDM can no longer be ordered. It has been replaced by the MTDM.
Features
The TDM offers the following features:
Synchronous or asynchronous operation
Full- or half-duplex
Selected standard data rates up to 19.2 kbps
Automatic answer
