AMI
Alternate Mark Inversion. Line coding format in which a
binary one is represented by a positive or negative pulse, a
binary zero is represented by no line signal, and
subsequent binary ones must alternate in polarity;
otherwise, a
binary one is represented by a positive or negative pulse, a
binary zero is represented by no line signal, and
subsequent binary ones must alternate in polarity;
otherwise, a
bipolar violation occurs. AMI is used in the
DS1 interface.

ARS
Automatic Route Selection. System feature that routes calls
on outside facilities according to the number dialed and
line/trunk availability. To initiate ARS, the user dials a
