The MASI node must be directly connected to the DEFINITY ECS for MASI 
features to work. In this configuration, terminals that belong to MMCX 2 (E3 and 
E4), do not take advantage of MASI capabilities.

How to administer MASI
This section discusses the administration required to make MASI work. You 
perform most of this administration from the DEFINITY administration terminal. 
However, there are a few things you must do at the MMCX administration 
terminal. This section sometimes refers to the 
chgmasi command. This is the 
command you use to...

Step 4 — Administer circuit pack
Using the DS1 Circuit Pack form, verify that the DS1 circuit pack you use to 
establish the MASI link is administered as follows:
nBit Rate = 1.544
nLine Coding = b8zs
nLine Compensation = 1
nSignaling Mode = isdn-pri
nInterface = network
nCountry Protocol = 1
nProtocol Version = a
Step 5 — Administer a signaling...
