resistors at each end of the loop for both point-to-point and point-to-
multipoint operation. This ensures correct timing of the signaling circuits.

termination).

Off-core DTI card
MICS 6.0 provides the opportunity to expand the number of 
DTI cards in your system by adding a DTI card to the 
expansion modules in a midi or maxi system. The card must be 
installed in either module 3 or 4 on a midi system. On the maxi
