Protocol States
Table 1-1 summarizes the protocols used at various points in the data
transmission stream. See Figure 1-1
.
NOTE:
OSI means Open Systems Interconnect
PCM means Pulse Code Modulated
DMI means Digital Multiplexed Interface
Both the physical-layer protocol and the Digital Multiplexed Interface (DMI) mode
used in the connection are dependent upon the type of 8-bit code used at layer 2
between the DTE equipment and DCE equipment, as listed in Table 1-2
and
Table 1-3
.
