for transmission over a telephone line, and analog signals
received on a telephone line to digital signals.

interconnected RS-232 interfaces that converts digital
signals to analog, or analog signals to digital, thereby
allowing users with digital
data stations to communicate
with users who have analog data stations.
module Circuit pack in the control unit that provides the physical
jacks for connection of telephones and/or outside trunks to
the communications system. In the name of a module, the
first digit indicates the number of
line/trunk jacks it
contains; the last digit indicates the number of extension
jacks it contains. If no letters appear after the number, a
line/trunk module provides loop-start trunks or an extension
jack module provides analog or tip/ring jacks. For example,
a 408 GS/LS MLX module contains four line/trunk jacks and
eight digital (MLX) extension jacks, provides either loop-
start (LS) or
ground-start (GS) trunks.
