T-carrier spans are terminated, originally one per card but in later models usually two, in Digital Line Trunk Units ( DLTU ) which concentrate their DS0 channels into the TSI.

In contrast to Nortel's DMS-100 which uses individual line cards with a codec, most lines are on two-stage analog space-division concentrators or Line Units, which connect as many as 512 lines, as needed, to the 8 Channel cards that each contain 8 codecs, and to high-level service circuits for ringing and testing.

Units of degrees and radians are also used.
