TDM: Time division multiplex. A process for transmitting two or more channel
signals simultaneously to MES over a common channel path by using
successive time intervals (time slots) for different channels.
TDMA:Time division multiplex access. A system which allows a plural number of
MES to access an LES (NCS) over a single transmission line by assigning
each MES a time slot on the TDM channel in which to transmit over.
SCPC: Single channel per carrier. Enables assignment of channel for a call.
