Applicability to France
Features specific to DTI requirements for France are implemented in 
firmware, and are switch-accessed. These are:
transmission and reception of alarm indication signaling (AIS) in TS16 
such as card disabled and warm SYSLOAD

Architecture
The main functional blocks of the NTAK10 card architecture include:
DS-30X interface
signaling interface
three microprocessors
digital pad
Card-LAN interface
carrier interface
clock controller interface
DS-30X interface
The NTAK10 card interfaces to one DS-30X bus which contains 
32 byte-interleaved timeslots operating at 2.56 Mb. Each timeslot contains 
10 bits in a 10 message format; eight are assigned to voice/data (64 Kbps), 
one to signaling (8 Kbps), and one is a data valid bit (8 Kbps).
